Good Afternoon Gang,
Anyone happen to have come across any solid articles, or even postings on FST, regarding CuteFTP speed optimization? I feel like my speeds between myself and the seedbox I subscribe to aren't at all being utilized.
Appreciate the help as always :D
Whats the maximum speed you can get from your home connection. Mine is 1.2mb/s, therefore i have 6 threads running at 200kb/s each.
Also if you're on OVH they are hell for limiting FTP downloads.
Hi H&K,
Appreciate the reply. I'm not on that particular service you mentioned. In terms of home pc speeds, here's my speedtest image:

Let me specify my problem. If I download a file from my seedbox which has say 20 sub files, I get a tremendous combined rate. The highest I've seen so far is about 5.2-5.5mbs. If I download one single sub file, my rate is usually below 1mbs. Are there settings I can tweak for this particular issue?
I'm a fairly new CuteFTP client user - haven't used it in years come to think of it. And, I just recently subscribed to a seedbox :rolleyes: so in the learning phase!
Thanks again for the help.
I Download around 12mb/s
Cuteftp can multithread up to a certain point. If you feel you need to run more threads consider using 3d-ftp.
Right on the file(folder) you like to download. Choose 'download advanced', choose 'multipart download', choose 'max 5 parts' and on you go.
that slowdown is not an issue of the FTP client.Quote:

Appreciate the help gang ~ I'll give the multipart-download a shot and see where I go from there. In terms of the server HD, unfortunately it's a remote seedbox ~ out of my control :ermm:.
how did you get max 5 parts or 6 ? I only have 4 eeehhhhhhhh /?
I've Max 4 parts as well LJ... Needless to say, I did try out the multipart download function, and it worked! My rate has been staying above 10+ constant... really awesome - thanks a bunch.
Don't know. I'm using Cuteftp 8.3 pro and can select 2 or 5 parts.
