Hi Everyone,
My problem is that though my Sygate Personal Firewall ( Pro 5.5 Build 2637 ) is showing incoming traffic as between 20-25 KBps. The programs that I use for downloading viz. eDonkey 2000,Download Accelerator show me recieving a download speed of 11-12 KBps,which I have confirmed from the speed test websites as well.
Some of those results are as under:
speakeasy
---------
Download Speed: 99 kbps (12.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 101 kbps (12.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
http://www.bandwidthplace.com
-----------------------------
Communications 94.6 kilobits per second
Storage 11.5 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 1.5 minutes
CNET
----
89.1 kbps
Testmy.net
----------
Connection is:: 94 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Download Speed is:: 12 kB/s
Tested From:: https://testmy.net (server1)
Test Time:: Wed Feb 08 2006 08:57:39 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Bottom Line:: 2X faster than 56K 1MB download in 85.33 sec
Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 39.17 % of your hosts average (touchtelindia.net)
What I am not able to understand that where the rest of the incoming traffic goes ?
A screenshot had been uploaded wherein it can be seen that apart for the programs I use for surfing or downloading,AV etc. there are 2 other programs that are using the bandwidth.
These are:
1. RAS PPPoE mini-port/call manager driver
2. Generic Host Process for Win32 services
No.2 is an Win XP SP 2 process which maybe needs to download something I guess ?
But a good amount of bandwidth is being used by RAS PPPoE Driver.
This was installed when I told the airtel engineers that I was getting Low ID & NAT errors while using P2P clients.So they configured the Web Distributor setting & made a new connection using BRIDGED protocol & placed a dialler on my desktop.So there is no need for port forwarding now but this bandwidth enigma is what is bothering me .
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks.
