    Hello everyone,

    Recently (two weeks ago) I bought a Window's dedicated server. The server is a Intel Celeron 2.53 with 2 GB's or ram and a 500gb hardrive. The server has a 100mbps connection and is running Window's 2003.

    I bought this server to upload files over the internet at highspeeds since my home internet connection is only 3mbps. Originally I started out with a linux server and I installed VNC on it.. which worked great and I was uploading files at lightning fast speeds.

    I decided to upgarde to the window's server so I would have more flexability with programs and what not. Now, here's my problem.. I cannot upload fast at all.. The max I've seen it go is 800kbps which is next to nothing compared to my linux server. My linux server could upload to the same website at 6mbps +.

    I'm wondering if there's something I can do to fix this problem. My host has looked into the ports and I believe they even changed the network card, but nothing has changed. It's been like this since I bought it and it's just supper annoying.

    Also, if it means anything, with Firefox I can only upload at 156kbps, while with Opera I get around 800kbps.

    Any help would be great.
    Thank you in advance. :)

    Just to get something straight: You won't see any difference if you are running a home computer or a Windows Server nor a Linux server.

    The bottleneck is your ISP's connection.

    At 3mbps, the theoretical maximum speed is 375KB/sec.

    1 Byte = 8 Bits

    3 million bits / 8 = 375,000 bytes

    So 3mbps = 375Kb/sec

    So there won't be any difference if you have a 10mbps or 100mbps network connection, your ISP won't be able to saturate that.

    I'm not an expert but I can't see that being the problem.. I have a screen shot of a speed test I did on my linux server and my window's server doesn't come close to it: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee300/sp0oon/speed-1.jpg

    Also, how is it that I can download at 10mbps on on the server but my upload speed is terrible? If what you said is correct then I shouldn't be able to download at those speeds..

    Are all the machines connecting through the same (home) connection?

    Hi,

    No they are not. Originally I had the VNC server located at the OVH datacentre
    located in the UK. My current dedicated server is located somewhere in Toronto in another datacentre.

    I was getting very fast speeds before on the VNC server.. I can download at speeds of almost 10mbps on the window's server but the upload speed is terrible. My hosting company thinks it has to do with a registry key. I'm not an expert but I've been posted on lots of forums and no one seems to respond..

    I just want this solved :mad:
    Thanks
    -Gabe
