Slow copy speed using file manager(s)

Hi everyone!
I have a strange problem:
When I copy files over the network (smb) using a file manager I just get ~100 MBit speed.
The same copy opreation via command line runs on full Gigabit speed.
Doing more than 1 copy (or move) via file manager results in 100 MBit for each operation (up to 3/4, then they are getting slower).
The very strange thing is: I get the same behavior using Thunar / XFCE on my current Arch setup as well as on previous Ubuntu based setups (Xubuntu and Kubuntu).
Installing an Intel Server NIC also doesn't change this behavior.
The other hardware also should be no issue. Copy target is a QNAP TS-459 Pro II. The PCs are quite new 8-Core AMD and Intel Core i7.
Copying files in Windows (7 pro) also gives me full Gigabit speed ~110 MB/s.
As searching for this topic turned out more or less impossible I hope someone here can help me.
Thank for any hint!

Same here. I also am posted on the crashing thread since the 3.3 update.
I noticed the speed thing too, just kind of ignored it for the moment. If I copy to 2 or 3 Macs it works, still slower than it should be. If I try to copy to 10 or more Macs, it is very slow or just fails to work. Did not have this issue with 3.2.
Clients and admin Macs running OS 10.5.8.

  • Copying speed of files has slowed down significantly

    copying speed of files has slowed down significantly
    and if initiate two different copy processes then it slows so much that 1 GB data takes time like it was 15GB

    Again, it depends on file types. Sometimes Apple files are not single files but packages of many smaller files, for example the iPhoto Library. Right-click in Finder, if there's "Show Package Contents", then it is technically not a single file.
    For simple file transfer from one machine to another per USB drive, it can save some time to zip the data before and after transfer to and from the USB drive.

  • How do I transfer pictures from internal storage to scan disc using file manager

    How do I transfer pictures from internal storage to scan disc using file manager

        Hi Eddielee,
    Never fear help is here my friend! Pictures are priceless. I know the importance of making sure these memories are saved. Let's get this fixed. To move files between internal and external storage (ScanDisk Card):
      • Open the applications menu.
      • Scroll to and tap Files to open the file manager
      • Tap Internal phone storage
      • Scroll to the folder or file location to your desired file
      • Tap and hold the file, then choose Copy or Move
      • Press the back key and Tap the SD card
      • Scroll to the folder or file location where you want to place your desired file
      • Tap Paste here
      • Your file has been placed into your other storage location
    Hope this helps!

  • Using file manager and phone browser without email...

    I have nokia 6021, PC suite version 6.5.12 and windows xp home SP2 and I connect the phone to PC via bluetooth.
    I just want to be able to view my phone "contacts" (just names and phone numbers) on my PC, edit my "contacts" on the PC and then load them back to the phone, but I do not want to synch with my email program because that is full of other contacts stuff that I do not want to clutter the phone memory with.
    The bluetooth connection seems to work fine, but......
    When I set up PC suite it wanted me to synch with an email program, but I just by-passed that. However, I cannot see my contacts files on the PC using file manager and phone browser. Is the only way to do this to actually synch with another email program that I use purely for the phone contacts?

    ok guys, problem solved.
    I just do a firmware update on my phone, though the firmware version was the same one, yet it's now able to back it up.. 

  • Slow Transfer Speeds For File Transfer Manager 5.0 Build 0032

    I have a 20Mbit internet connection. When I download from the Microsoft download site I can get files downloading at reported speeds of up to 1.7 Mbytes per second.
    When downloading from the TechNet Benefits section I have to use the Transfer Manager and I can only get speeds that vary between 30-80 Kbytes per second. Rarely any faster.
    I am using XPPro & IE7 straight out onto the Internet via my router / firewall. No proxy server.
    What can I do to speed the process up or bypass the File Download Manager?
    Regards.

    Thanks for your feedback Tekky.  FYI there is also a forum specifically for TechNet Website Feedback which is the more appropriate place for TechNet Subscriptions questions at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en/tnfeedback/threads/
    There are many suggestions in this post about improving your network speeds when downloading from MSDN and TechNet subscriptions sites.  Here is one more place to look for tips, which we have linked to from our Downloads and Product Keys FAQ (MSDN version, TechNet version): 
    The website for the Microsoft File Transfer Manager, particularly their troubleshooting page which includes additional discussion on configuring the FTM and on slow transfer speeds. 
    As Julie stated above, you can call TechNet Customer support and they can take you through some additional troubleshooting and diagnostic steps to assist.  Julie has linked to the support phone numbers in her reply.

  • Using file manager to see files stored on the camera

    I use an EOS 350D. With Windows XP, uisn File Manager (Windows Explorer) I could see the camera as a drive, and could see the list of image files on the camera, select and download them etc. However, using windows 7 I do not see the camera as a drive. Why is that? Is it because I have all the Canon software loaded? What can I do to have direct access to the files on the camera via File Manager. I don't use the Canon software for anything.

    From Canon ...
    "There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver."
    This is true for Win 7 or XP.
    "Change the camera’s USB connection mode from “PC” to “Print/PTP”.
    This is required for all older cameras. But it does not require any Canon software since it is an in-camera setting,

  • Very slow copy speeds from my USB thumb drive.  Why?

    I have an 8GB USB thumb drive. When I copy files to/from it to my Mac Pro (Early 2008 2.8Ghz), the transfer speeds are very slow. But when I use it with my 2009 Macbook, the speeds are fast. Why would it work faster with a low end Macbook than with a Mac Pro? I'm using one of the USB ports on the front of the Mac Pro.

    Anyone have an idea?

  • Extremely slow downstream speed using ethernet

    I have a G5 Dual 2.3. I started to notice that my downstream speed seemed to be slow. So I went to speakeasy.net to do a downstream rate test. Much to my amazement my downstream speed is 400-500kbps! It's normally 6000kbs since I have a cable modem.
    I tried bypassing my router by plugging the cable modem directly into the ethernet port on my G5 and still had the slow speeds. For kicks I tried pluggint the cable modem directly into my G4 Powerbook and the downloads were now at 6100kbps!! ***!!
    I then decided to try sharing the ethernet connection (with the cable modem plugged directly into it) from my Powerbook over my airport network using the powerbooks airport antenna. I then connected my G5 to my G4's shared internet connection and lo and behold, 6000+ kbps!! It seems like there is an issue by the ethernet connection on my G5. Anyone heard of anything like this?
    Any suggestions as to what to do?
    Thanks,
    John

    This sounds like duplex mismatching. Try going into your network preferences and force the NIC to 100/FD and see if your speed is the same. What router are you using?

  • Slow Copy Speeds?

    I am trying to copy an Aperture library from an external drive to my desktop and it says it is going to take 46 hours!!!! I am using Firewire 800 and the the file is 198 GB. Is this normal?

    That is probably a very bad estimate. Initial time estimates can be quite far off and, allowed to continue, the estimate will correct fairly soon. Give it time... it won't take that long, unless there's something wrong with one of the drives.

  • Slow Internet speed using ethernet cable.

    Hi
    I have a an old imac, still working and running on 10.5.8 !!
    I still use it for music and simple word processing.
    I have linked it up to the internet with a ethernet cable and the internet speed is vastly differnet to by ipad / iphone using wifi.
    I syspect that its the imac and not the router?
    Any idea what has gone wrong and why ethernet connect is not faster than wireless
    Thanks

    DOH!
    It occurs to me --finally-- why you may be seeing this slowness on a wried connection. That latest G4 iMacs retained the 10/100BASE ethernet port Apple used to put on all consumer and educational Macs. The PowerMacs and PowerBook were considered "pro" models and had 10/100/1000BASE ethernet ports--much faster.
    You may see improvement by going wireless if your iMac has USB 2.0 ports:
    NewerTech MAXPower 802.11n/g/b High-Performance Wireles USB Adapter w/bonus ext cradle. For Mac & PC
    It will give wireless "n" speeds if used in a USB 2.0 port--that's the protocol your other devices are probably using.
    To see if you have USB 2.0 ports, hold OPTION and, while hlding it, click the Apple menu. In 10.5, the first entry should change to "System Profiler." Launch it.
    In the opening screen:
    find the code in the second line that I've indicated with the red arrow; for a G4 iMac the line will be "PowerMacx,x"--please post your code and your screen size (15, 17, or 20). From that we can find out if you have USB 2, making the wireless option viable.

  • Help! Extremely slow Internet speed using Linksys WRT54G router

    I have an eMac running OS 10.3.9 and wired to a Linksys WRT54G router using ethernet cable. I have to use this router for my work PC. I'm also using WildBlue satellite internet. The problem is, I'm getting about 1.5 Mbps on my PC, but less than 33 Kbps on my eMac. It was running faster before using dial-up. I've called WildBlue and Linksys tech support, and they can't help. Can anyone help?
    By the way, my son is using his iBook on the same router, only wireless, and he's happy with the speed he's getting compared to dial-up.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    1400 kbps is a lot nicer than 33 kbps, isn't it? You can possiblly tweak it a little more --- I know I've seen a MTU of 1460 mentioned --- since you can also revert back to the 1400 MTU setting you found.
    (Broadband Optimizer is in one sense a nice GUI to the terminal commnads you found and used.)
    One more thing to be aware of, satellite internet is subject to longer latency times than cable or DSL, due to the unavoidable geometry of bouncing data packets off a satellite in orbit. That could be an issue if you ever want to play real-time online multiplayer adventure type games. It shouldn't be an issue for being able to grab OS updates in minutes instead of hours, through. Enjoy your broadband access!

    Having the same problem, since 7.7 and now 8. Have my library on an external hard drive and used to not have any problems. Took average of 5-6 minutes a CD, now 18 to 19 minutes. Could it be because of a problem with USB and my external? Seems like USB is causing a lot of problems in 8.

  • Slow Download Speeds using itunes store?

    Hi.
    For the last couple of days any song i've downloaded on itunes has been downloading painfully slow, and im pretty sure it's not a problem from my end. Is anything like this happening to anyone else?

    I have noticed the same thing. For the last days I have conly download speeds od 300 kbps from Itunes. At first, I thought it was my internet connection speed. I have checked and recchecked it. With differen meters I have 3 Mbps. So it is not a matter of my connection. It must be something happening at the iTunes store.
    Please, if anybody knows about this problem, please advice.

  • Very slow download speeds using Safari

    I am on cable and using a wireless network. My MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard) is very slow to download compared to an old PC that I keep around for "stuff" on it. Is anyone else having the same experience? Do I need to take the MacBook in to the geniuses to have them look at it? I don't dare try Netflix as much as I'd like to.

    Start by troubleshooting networking.
    Drivers for your Windows chipset.
    Include more details as to router, firmware, what MAC you have even?
    I would never disable firwalls or AV and security settings but you don't want to have two firewalls running.
    Most people complain that Windows is faster and their OS X is slow.
    Also, wired or wireless? you have not given us anything to go by.
