Thread: Getting Slow Speeds with Filezilla when DLing from Seedbox

Use Cute FTP to connect to your box. Once you have the file that you want to download, right click the file and choose the following.
Download Advanced>Multi-part Download>MAX (8 parts)
Cute FTP will then download the file in 8 different parts at the same time and will re-join them into one file when the download is complete.
I am also using Feral and this method always maxes out my home connection. Here is a copy of Cute FTP that i uploaded for you on MU.
It is portable, just extract and launch, no need to install and it's already registered.

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

I hope this helps to solve your problem. :)

FTP is designed to handle multiple file transfers. If I download a single file it's slow, if i download a group of files, such as a rar archive, t maxes out my connection. it's one of the reasons The Scene uses rars

Ahhh bond, now I see what you guys mean. THNX a whole lot bart, will do. Ill report back soon.

Something kinda funny just happened. I decided to redownload one of the torrents I already Dl'd with FeralHosting yesterday on my PC directly from the tracker, rather sit through the slow transfer of SFTP. I was looking at the peers early on in the DL and saw that someone who was giving me around 100kbs had the same name as my feral hosting transmission url. I figured it must be common among people with feral accounts, then 2 hrs later it hit me :D

I log into transmission and I see that I seeded 1gb of the file to myself lol. So upload works on transmission and it gives me the same crappy SFTP speed, I guess it is feral's slow upload speeds.

Actually I was referring to Filezilla in general, SFTP or FTP. Both at home and work I find I need to have more than 2 simultaneous connections in the program to max out my connection to my seedboxes.

Basically what Mr. Bond is saying...

Huh. Using command line ftp I max out my work's connection (100 Mb/s) with one large file. Don't use filezilla, but can't imagine it being that bad.

sorry just reread your post you should be getting a lot faster than u r canu not try a different ftp proggie like flash fxp or cute ftp m8 see if u get different results

This actually helped me a lot. I was getting 100kbps but shut off my VPN and now it's my isp's max rate, at about 600kbps. It's a little bit better than downloading torrents on utorrent.
