systimax Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Im getting terrible file transfer speeds from a winxp box to shared folders in OSX. Anyone know where I can start to trouble shoot the speed? Is this normal for OSX on Intel? Is there a setting in Osx that shows the duplex/speed of the card so I can rule out that first before I look at Samba? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjonas Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have the same problem... I haven't found a solution though. I think it may be a limitation of SAMBA... However, you can set your card as duplex or full duplex, or whatever using the Preferences, Network, and use the pull down menu to find the options...

xiberia Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 i share files between my XP box and OSX box, and its as fast as Xp to XP was. (although I mainly browse Windows folders from my OSX, rather than the other way around). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ut2211 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 This fix was given by Maxxuss a few months ago: sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0 I hope this works for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
systimax Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 do you know how to turn the default back on after using this? wasnt this for vmware users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjonas Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Got me, I tried the "sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0" thing, with no difference in transfer speed... still slow as hell copying files to a NTFS drive over the network. systimax- did you ever find the duplex etc options? they are in the network Pref pane... look around a bit.

quixos Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i can upload to XP from OSX at full speed, but can not download from XP to OSX at a useful speed. there must be some magic configuration edit somewhere, cause i get full speed up/down from XP to my OS X using Parallels.

BaselineAce Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i can upload to XP from OSX at full speed, but can not download from XP to OSX at a useful speed. Same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryon Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Same. Same here and I am on a real MacTel plus I had the same exact problem on my IMac G3 a few years ago. OS9 was file but when I went to OSX it started. It is not the hardware as I tried Linux on the G3 and everything was fine. Somehow OSX is throttaling the upload speed. I have asked this question many times over the years and never found an answer to the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsdead Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Have you tried this: Modify the launchd entry of SMBD process (org.samba.smbd) by adding a new program argument: -F (newline after the /usr/sbin/smbd) found here http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/ma.../topic4071.html jrsdead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
