Phone connected through WiFi or data network? Have you tested those speeds first? I don't think there's a phone/network combination out there that will deliver 10 Mbps over the air, and 10 Mbps over WiFi are near the limits of most mobile hardware. I don't know, maybe that's changed now.
70 kbps makes me think you're using a poor phone network connection.
So many factors in teh equation......
Think an update helped getting 300kbps now which is better, but I'm sure I could reach higher speeds over wifi through phone.Quote:

Cool ill try that out
Are you downloading to the SD card? It's not supposed to be so slow but if anything's messed up then it could be a potential cause.
What speed testing app for cell phone? please adviseQuote:

yeah using sd card, but i get good speeds when i download from website but through ftp seems to be capped.
Have you tried another FTP client?
Try this one: https://market.android.com/details?i...Ryb2lkLnBvcCJd
Can't seem to download only browse with that app
Just copy it to the SD card as you would any other file.Quote:

Not sure, since I haven't used the ES File Explorer much - you probably can't though.Quote:
