    When I copy anything across my wireless LAN from my Linux box to my Powerbook i don't get speeds higher than 300KB/s.

    I'm assuming I've got something configured incorrectly as I can download from the internet at an average speed of 2MB/s on my 40Mb/s fibre line using OWB/wget/axel though I get much more than that from my other non-MorphOS machines.

    I'm using the 68k version of SMBFS from aminet and launch it in s:network-startup with:
    Code:
    c:Run <>NIL: stack=32768 c:smbfs CASE DOMAIN=WORKGROUP VOLUME=DL: CACHE=1024 SERVICE=//macbookpro/Downloads QUIET


    Any ideas?

    FTP transfers from the same machine move at an average of 1.2MB/s using the 68k AmiTradeCenter, so it seems SMBFS is the problem.

    Quite what is causing it to be a problem is a mystery though.

    That's not really new....I wrote this in the past too - I didn't get more then 12-25 Kbyte/s! SMBFS is really unusable.......
    I use ENVOY instead, but that's only in pure Amiga-networks possible.....

    I'll just have to stick with FTP transfers for the time being until I figure out a better solution.

    Yeah, the SMBFS issues have been around for as long as I can remember. I gave up on it long ago. A portable flash drive is the best thing going Ive found.

    Can you try with wired connection on MorphOS if it's faster?


    I'll have a try later tonight, got to find a couple of cables from storage.

    I would be would be quite happy with 300kps.
    :-D
    Haven't bothered with samba as I can get 15mb/s copy to a slow thumb drive.
    I transfer files using a small raid/jbod box with 2 2.5" sata drives.
    The case supports firewire 800, usb 2.0, and eSata.
    I got a consistant 45mb/s copying to it over eSata from my windows laptop.
    I could only read 15mb/s on the g4/g5 systems using usb 2.0.
    Man, I need eSata for MOS bad.
    That or the new version of HELIOS to be released (hint, hint, you promised me yomgui).

    That's fine for smal files but when copying multi-gigabyte files across it takes far too long.
