I have connected 2 PCs using ethernet cable and set up FTP on one of them to transfer some >100GB of files. However, trying to download it, I run into a problem of speed not more than 50kB/s. It happens whether I download through Nautilus or Filezilla.However, if I try to download a large file using Google Chrome, it downloads at speed around 50MB/s, which is pretty good. But Chrome cannot download directories.What can be a solution to either speed up LAN or download a directory through Chrome?UPD: I tried to create a torrent and send it that way, but it's no better, stays around 100kB/s...UPD1: I changed the cable and it didn't change, also it stops completely, if I turn on WiFi parallel to the cable.UPD2: I found an advise to edit /etc/default/grub to disable IPv6, but it didn't help as well.A small detail: both sender and receiver file systems are NTFS, does it make a difference?
Super-slow LAN speed, unless downloading through Chrome's FTP client
ftp;chrome;vsftpd;lan
I found it. The problem was far not in the connection, it is in the file system. I was trying to copy from NTFS to NTFS. When I formatted the receiving FS to ext4, speed increased to 40+MB/sec.
