Has anyone compared the performance of Miami vs MOSNet for simple
uploads/downloads?

On my computer, Miami seems to be around 20-30% faster for NNTP.

Another question, is it still possible/worth it to register Miami?

Thanks!

For me, MOSNet is slightly faster than MiamiDx (FTP-Transfers from PC to Peg --> ca. 3 MB/s)

And no, it isn't possible to register Miami anymore. The author has retired from Amiga market long ago.

Miami and Genesis are said to work faster than MiamiDX.
So taking DX to compare to is not really the best choice ...

I havent done any transfers over my local network from the Pegasos to my Macs but on the internet downloading files MiamiDX is much faster. I get about 40% faster downloads using Miami over MOSnet. As an example I downloaded a podcast using MiamiDX and averaged 150 to 200k/sec but the same file never got above 80k/sec using MOSnet.

ftp transfers are a bit useless for speed testing, it seems.

for the very same file I need with ftp 116 seconds (3161722 bytes/s), but with smbfs only 58.29s (transfer mac->peg, miamidx). Thats around double speed with smbfs.

In the other direction ftp is a lot faster... only get 80kb/s with smbfs, but >6000k/s with ATC (peg->mac, miamidx).


I have no explanaition for this though. ;)

Registering for Miami or MiamiDX is no longer possible. The point is almost moot, in all honesty. Genesis from H&P would be a better test subject (assuming the Genesis CD is still available as a stand alone product).

You are right Targhan but I could never get Genesis working well. So I have MiamiDX since I paid for it so long ago I use it.

Its still strange that the new stack is so close to 80/k sec for everyone. I wonder if something in the code is dong that?
