I've been trying for 2 days now, and I can't even seem to get half my speeds to this FTP server. I'm on 2mbs connection and I'm getting around 140kbs max. It isn't an issue with the server, since it's running fast. So, what could be the cause? Bad routing or does Airtel throttle FTP?
Handy to troubleshoot if you provide the following:-
1) Ping response to the FTP server. (Send some 100 packets).
2) Biggest IP packet you can ping to this server without fragmentation (ping -l 1500 -f FTP-Server). If 'framentation required', then keep lowering the size of the IP packet until you get a response).
3) Trace route to this FTP server.
By the way, how do you know the server is running fast?
