Wicus Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Origionally posted this query in the BitTorrent Client section, as opposed to the BitTorrent Sync area. Can only hope I won't be flamed to harshly ... I'm getting the following Sync speeds on a GigaBit LAN Min 1.6 MBps Max 6.0 MBps Avg 2.3 - 3.8 MBps Would I be totally off-topic expecting around 125 MBps? (when there is no other traffic on the LAN) Specs: 2x i7 8GB 256SSD Windows 8.1 Laptops running Sync v 2.0.128(36) connected via CAT6 cabling to a NetGear R6300v2 NoteBook 1 - 10.17.0.111NoteBook 2 - 10.17.0.112 Sync Settings uPnP port mapping enabled Receiving & Sending rates NOT enabled lan_encrypt_data false rate_limit_local_peers false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwx9901 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I recently installed BitTorrent Sync and am liking the way this thing works. There was a little bit of a learning curve but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. The problem I'm having is really slow download speeds from PC to PC. I'm using Windows 8 with high speed internet. When I download to my phone it seems to work a lot faster. Rates right now are averaging 250 KB/s. I'm using the trial pro version now and would like to make the purchase. However, if this is considered fast then I'm going to have to pass. On a side note I'm downloading from a home PC to a work PC which is on a network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehawkes Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Better than I'm getting! It's painfully slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicus Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 That was only until I decided to rather copy directly from the source to the destination, and re-start the sync. Now I'm only getting between 39 to 42.6 Kbps and Sync doesn't notice the newly added files even after disconnecting an re-sharing Only because AFTER 4 days, only 411GB of 711GB was synced ... whereas copying directly via USB took but 2 hours. What's the deal BitTorrent ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicus Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I believe your to stay stuck in the dark, as I am. http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/39819-gigabit-lan-sync-speed-slow/ http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/39824-large-sync-best-practise/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwx9901 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 That's a shame, Wicus. I was hoping for a quick solution. I heard that Comcast throttles torrent speeds so that might be it? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Folks, please see: How can I improve data transfer/sync speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicus Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks for responding GreatMarko. Though I did follow all the recommendations and verification of settings, I still cannot get more than 8MBps. What transfer speeds would you normally obtain on a pure GigaBit LAN setup ?
