Spiking File Transfer

Post by PaulW »

Hi, I performed a file transfer yesterday of a 1 Gig 7z compressed file and it took about 1 hour. I use Bitmeter to monitor my bandwidth and the transfer rate would spike to around 250 Kb/s for about 1 sec and drop right back to 0 Kb/s for 2-3 sec and keep repeating this process. Any ideas?

I'm using the ChunkVNC_3_1 download, the repeater is a on a separate XP machine using the NO-IP service. All the CHUNKVNC settings are the defaults.

(kudos, during the transfer the repeater computer was turned off. I rebooted, reconnected and went back to the file transfer and it picked up where it had left off, cool!)

The other issue that occurred was once the transfer completed I did not have mouse control. The only way I found to fix it was to disconnect and reconnect. Is that the simplest trick?

BTW, when I started the viewer again it had a list of connection numbers, will the last connection always be the top of this list? [/img]
How about Now? And Now?

No idea as I've never transfered more than 30-40mb. I'm sure there are much better solutions for transferring files that large besides VNC. You might want to ask this questions in the UltraVNC general forum to get better info.

I didn't know that either, cool beans. You can thank the UltraVNC devs for that one.

Every so often (especially with a slow connection) I get weird glitches like this, reconnecting seems to be the best option.

Yes, I like it this way because it allows me to install as a service, run the viewer again, mouse wheel down once and connect.
