Stuck File Transfer

Trying to send a few screenshots to a friend I'm talking to on Skype,
We have an Audio chat going and he is sending video but I am currently not
The screenshots are 3 files the largest being 2.5MB
I'm running Skype 6.20.0.104 (which the auto updater says the is the latest, but the message on the forum suggests it actually isnt) and he's running 6.20.32.104
Both machines are windows 8.1 x64
The strange thing Is I'm seeing 3 - 6Mbit/s outbound from my machine towards his IP and he's seeing about the same inbound at his end, since I'm not sending video it seems like an awfully high bitrate outgoing.
It looks to me like one of the Skype clients has gotten itself in a funny state where although it's being sent the data it's not acknowleding it and thus the other end is constantly re-tranmistting the same part of the file because at that speed and given the size of the file it should have transfered in seconds.

Hi,
First of all, it doesn't matter if you choose the option of "PC Suite" or "Media".  It works both way when all you want to do is to transfer music.  I personally wouldn't choose "Media".  Somehow for my N97, my Messenging will switch back from mass memory to phone memory and it is really annoying.  At times when I choose "Media", my computer says that the USB is connected in non-compatible mode etc.
One thing I notice too is that my music player would be "hanged" if connected via USB.  Nothing we can do.  To listen to your music using your phone, I reckon you have to stop the USB connection.  So that is normal.
Using menu setting to PC Suite saves you the trouble of having to select the mode EVERYTIME.  So, that too is a good choice.
Let's forget about OVI Player for a moment.  After you plug in your phone, if you start the PC Suite, you should see that your phone is detected.  If not, try reconnect the cable, try using PC Suite to connect to the phone (there is a button to do that I remember if the phone is not detected).  If still cannot, like my friend, you will probably need to reinstall the latest firmware via Nokia Care Store.
Let's say your PC Suite application can detect your phone, you may wish to see if you can transfer the music.  You may wanna do one testing here.  Open up the File Manager from your PC Suite.  Transfer the songs manually, then do a refresh at your Music Library of your phone.  You should see the tracks.  If yours is a Comes With Music like mine, you can get the licence over the air.  Once that is done, I suppose you should be able to transfer the music files via your OVI Player.  While, it is tedious, but that was how it works for me.
I wish Nokia is easier on us, but it is not.  Sorry.

  • Stuck in file transfer mode?

    I recently bought a NOkia 5310 express music phone, and I'm trying to copy some songs onto it. Whenever I try to get it set up to copy the music it says that my phone is "in file transfer mode, and cannot be use with pc suite, quit file transfer mode from the phone if you want to use the phone with pc suite". I have no idea what file transfer mode is, or how to get out of it. anyone have any idea?

  • File Transfer Speeds

    I know this topic has already been covered in some of the posts but it was replied that the latest version i.e., 6.20 would solve the bug. Which obviously it failed to do hence this post.
    The latest version of skype 6.20 still gives a maximum speed of upto 4Mbps even if the clients are on Gigabit LAN connection. Version 6.18 used to stuck at 1.5 Mbps. Earlier versions (6.9) used to provide full LAN speed via skype.
    Secondly, earlier versions of Skype didn't pass on the sounds of programs running on one of the clients but as I tested today, version 6.20 passes client sounds (and I'm not talking about speech) like music etc etc.
    Is this really how upgrades are supposed to behave? Or is it poor quality assurance testing before making release public?
    Disappointments since MS acquired this brilliant service.

    Been having issues with file transfers for a while, didn't find out til I went to post here that Skype is now up to 6.21 (I was on 6.20.x but 'checking for updates' didn't find anything) so I uninstalled, installed fresh, and tried again. Still no good.
    Not sure what the aforementioned previous discussions covered, but when sending a file my local connection gets saturated on the upload side. So my connection properties dialog shows my connection uploading faster than my internet can (somewhere around 800KBps, while my net upload is ~100), with everything else net related predictably slowing down. And the file transfer itself slows to a crawl.
    Uninstalled the latest/current version of Skype, back to 6.16.0.105 as I read in some other advice, and am currently sending a file at my normal speed without any issue at all.
    So if this was supposed to be fixed it most certainly isn't.
    Note this isn't an anti-MS rant - I didn't install Skype until MSN/Windows messenger no longer worked. For my needs (IM, file transfer) messenger worked perfectly. Skype has been ok until recently with this issue.

  • Windows 7 network file transfer absurdly slow

    I know there are plenty of other posts about slow network file transfer. Here, elsewhere, I can't say I read them all but most are referring to slow down to 1MB/s.
    I am getting <20KB/s.
    If I transfer a very small file (less than 100KB) it would start quickly then slow down to <20KB/s. all subsequently network file transfer would be slow, a reboot is needed to reset this. If I transfer a large file it would be stuck on calculating for
    a long time and then begin with <20KB/s immediately.
    This is a fairly newly built desktop. Realtek gigabit on-board LAN of ASRock Extreme3 gen3. I have tested network file transfer to and from a Windows 7 laptop and a MacBook Pro, so I am fairly certain it is the desktop's problem. The slow speed only happens
    with one direction, outbound from the desktop, regardless of whether I initiate the file transfer action from the origin or the destination. Inbound network file transfer and internet speeds are fine, so I don't think this is a hardware issue.
    Remote Differential Compression is off. Drivers are up-to-date from ASRock's website. I am getting 74.8MB/s internet upload speed from speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net/result/1852752479.png). Inbound network file transfer I can get around 10-15MB/s.
    I looked everywhere and can't find symptoms that fits my case well. I'd be cheering if I can get 1MB/s. Well, maybe not, but at this point it is more efficient for me to upload everything to the Internet and download them again than to use local file transfer,
    which is just absurd.
    I am hoping this community has some insight for me to troubleshoot this. I don't see anything obviously related from the Event Viewer, and beyond that I just don't know where else to look.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Firstly, would you please try again to install the HotFix instead of disabling TCPAuto-Tuning and Windows Scaling heuristics via netsh manually.
    If issue persists, please try following:
    1. Test the issue in Safe Mode with Networking.
    2. Disable "Large Send Offload".
    How to:
    1) Open an elevated command prompt and press Enter:
    netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled.
    2) Disable and re-enable the network interface or reboot your system. 
    3) Run the following command in an elevated command prompt to confirm the command above is successful:
    netsh int ip show offload
    3. Check the value of “Speed & Duplex” is Auto in Advanced Properties of the NIC. If not, please let us know your value.
    4. Check if “Flow Control” is disabled in Advanced Properties of your NIC.
    5. Go to your Start Menu, search for “Local Security Policy“ and run it as administrator. Under Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.
    1) Open “Network security:Minimum session security for NTLM SSP (including RPC based) Clients”,
    unselect “Require NTLMv2 session security” and “Require 128-bit encryption”.
    2) Do the same operation to “Network security:Minimum session security for NTLM SSP (including RPC based) Servers”.
    3) Open
    the policy “Network Security LAN Manager authentication level“. Locate and select the option “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated“. Click Apply, and close out of all
    policy management windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Fastest File transfer (Point to point)

    Hi guys,
    I'm programming a Java RMI system, which should function similiarily to Napster or any other file sharing freeware.
    However, I am stuck with client-to-client file transfer.
    Here is what I have now:
    ========================
    1.) An RMI server, which should be the middle man between two clients.
    Here is a sample procedure:
    - Server decides client A is the server on the socket connection.
    - Server determines client B is the client on the socket connection.
    My problem is
    =============
    How do I use socket to send and receive binary files?
    Is socket the fastest way to send files?

    Why are you doing this from scratch?

  • Frozen file transfer

    Hi all..
    I'm a newbie to the forum also new to macs.
    I have 27" iMac purchased today, during set up I was asked if I wanted to transfer files. Having a laptop with 250gb if files I want to transfer, I said yes and followed the instructions... 1 hour in my laptop shut down for no reason (was plugged to mains) and the transfer was stopped. Now the iMac is stuck on the file transfer window. What do I do. Not in a rush to transfer but I would like to get the iMac up and running.
    Help please.

  • UCMA 4 and back to backing a file transfer request

    OK, I know that file transfer isn't technically supported on UCMA 4.0, but I wanted to take another look at it and see whether there was a way to b2b a file transfer request. After all, there's no reason that it shouldn't work if the messaging is correct,
    right? The scenario I have is A <-b2b-> app <-b2b->B.  I have an IM conversation going on between A and B, so now I'm trying to set it up so that A can send a file to B. 
    So far I've extended the platform to accept file transfer requests by creating my own call and factory classes, and then registering them using RegisterPlatformExtension.  This means that when A sends a file, the INVITE gets delivered to my application. 
    Now I'm taking that INVITE and creating a new b2b call.  A file transfer request looks something like this:
    TL_INFO(TF_PROTOCOL) [0]16A8.4B28::02/10/2015-19:53:05.007.001d492f (SIPStack,SIPAdminLog::ProtocolRecord::Flush:ProtocolRecord.cpp(265))[3939761282] $$begin_record

    I've got my b2bed invite looking almost identical to the original invite by creating a custom MIME type on the CallEstablishOptions for the back to back call using something like this:
    Regex r = new Regex(@"^((.|\n)*)(\<request)((.|\n)*)(request\>)((.|\n)*)$");
    Match m=r.Match(args.RequestData.GetMessageBodyString());
    content=string.Format("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n{0}{1}{2}",m.Groups[3],m.Groups[4],m.Groups[6]);
    opt.CustomMimeParts.Add(new MimePartContentDescription(new ContentType("application/ms-filetransfer+xml"),System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content)));
    opt.CustomMimeParts[0].ContentDispositionHeader = new SignalingHeader("Content-Disposition", "render; handling=optional");
    So far the only differences I can see in my outbound message vs the original SDP are that the Content-Transfer-Encoding might not be seen as a header (since the SignalingHeaders property on the MimePartContentDescription is read only), and the Content-Transfer-Encoding
    on the first MIME part (created by the BackToBackCall) is missing (even though I specified it on the PassThroughHeaders).  Even with all of this though, I still get a 488 on client B when I attempt the transfer (even though the invite goes through). 
    What I'm wondering though, is whether there's any way at all to get this working the way I'd expect, where a file gets transferred directly between A and B, without my bot having to receive it first.  The other approach I've looked at is binding my
    own media provider class to customize the SDP, but if this MIME part approach isn't going to work, then I have a feeling the media provider won't work either. 
    Any suggestions on where to look next? 
    Thanks!
    Chris

    Chris,
    I am trying to do something similar to this and from what I have read and in talking to MS is that you need to extend the Call and Flow class which it looks like you have been able to do. Could I bother you to share what you have written? Maybe we can help
    each other out on this. I am basically trying to create an application that will be able to capture a file transfer and save it, then send the original request on to the intended recipient.
    Thanks in advance,
    Anthony

  • MBP (mid-2009) freezing, slow installations and file transfer

    I bought the latest MacBook Pro model and installed Snow Leopard on a cleanly formatted hard drive. I have tried migrating via ethernet and FireWire from my iMac, but the migrations failed either due to freezing (via FireWire after roughly 24 hours of file transfer) or by an error message (ethernet with Migration Assistant).
    Only through a Time Machine backup was I able to transfer my account files to the MBP, which again totaled at over 20 hours of transferring. The system was a mess, clogged constantly by freezing and spinning beach balls of death for durations lasting around 10-20 seconds during which music would clip after 5-10 seconds of everything not responding, this being accentuated especially during installations. I decided to format and try anew.
    Now I've formatted the hard drive, installed Snow Leopard and will transfer my files manually onto a clean account. Installations take a long time although SL installation is within 30 minutes, iLife took 1.5 hours to install 5 GB. During the installation Safari stopped responding, as did the entire system, and the spinning beach ball would keep spinning. Watching a 480p trailer in Quicktime made the entire computer freeze up (no video/audio) for 10 seconds halfway. Transferring 136 GB (my Music folder) will take around 15 hours according to the estimate after 10 minutes of transferring.
    I've sold my iMac now and all I have are the files on my external hard drive. I want to get them onto my MBP ASAP but the slowness is preventing me from doing what needs to be done and it's very frustrating. When I try to boot into Hardware Testing by holding D down the computer doesn't do it no matter what (Application DVD in or not, plugged into power or not). I've tried resetting PRAM but I get the same inaction.
    Any ideas?
    Edit: I've done Disk Utility to no avail, it finds nothing wrong.

    Installed, still getting freezes with spinning beach balls. Transfer says it would take 1 hour opposed to that 15 hours, but it stops transferring after X amount of gigabytes (from 0.5 to 5), not do anything for a while and then continue, stretching the estimate to over 2 hours after some time. I don't know if this is just with the hard drive.
    The freeze-ups are frustrating as **** and make for a very poor experience. Any ideas to get to the bottom of this? I still haven't been able to boot into the Hardware Test no matter how much I try.

  • File transfer: AFP vs FTP

    Setup:
    Cable modem to Linksys WRT54g broadcasting only in G only mode for PBG4.
    AEBSn#1 in bridge mode via Ethernet from Linksys, N only mode, broadcasting wirelessly.
    AEBSn#2 is wirelessly extending N-only from AEBSn#1, and is connected to a mini with external hard drive.
    Using PBG4, if I mount a volume from the mini and transfer a file, transfer time is very slow: approx. 20 minutes for a 200MB file. If I FTP from PBG4 into the mini, transfer time is 2 minutes.
    (I think the same happens if I use a Macbook Pro connected to the N-only network, but it's in for repairs right now, so I can't be sure.)
    Any idea why the transfer times are so different b/w AFP and FTP and, more importantly, what I can do to remedy this? Thanks.

    Same problem here. I have two AEBS Gigabit in bridge mode. Transfering a file via FTP or with Apple Remote Access (ARD) brings up to 3 MB/sec. Same file and same configuration connected via AFP only brings 60 kB/sec.
    I hope somebody has an idea how to fix this.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

    I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
    The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
    For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
    Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

    Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
    These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
    FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
    FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
    This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
    You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
    And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
    Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
    Thank you!

  • How do you install CS5 onto a new computer without Time Machine/file transfer

    I'm not getting a new computer, but my current one is getting a little old (Macbook Pro V. 10.6.8) and I'm afraid it might crash if I download the newest Maverick system, which is why I want to make absolutely sure I'm able to save and transfer all my old files and CS5 Creative Suite programs if this indeed happens. I don't trust Time Machine to do it; my boss had this happen and Time Machine did not transfer the Adobe programs. I also don't want to rely on Time Machine and any other file transfer (which all new Macs offer) because I've had brand new computers crash because of old corrupt files from my old computer converting over, and the Apple people said it's a bad idea (which would have been nice to know BEFORE the computer crashed and everything. . .) I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice, which I've already done (thanks to my brand new computer crashing once already). So I would like to know how it's possible to install the program onto a new computer should this one crash, without the use of file transfer or Time Machine. I have no interest in upgrading to CC.
    Thanks!

    Avoid using Time Machine for re-installing Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism.
    I've been told you can only use the CD to install CS5 onto your computer twice,
    Not quite.
    You can install the software as many times as you like but you can only activate the software for use on a maximum of two computers at the same time.
    To re-install you will need your CS5 serial number.
    Download the installer from Download CS5 products
    Install then enter your serial number when prompted.

  • When upgrading to OSX Yosemite do all my programs and files transfer over such as Office for mac, saved documents from word,excel,pics,pdf files,etc.etc...

    Will all my files transfer over (or stay) automatically right after upgrading to Yosemite or do I have to backup every single desired program or document? Question is do I HAVE to please if you can answer if its mandatory or not. Not looking for recommendations that I SHOULD back up or anything like that just want to know if it is mandatory to perform a backup to be able to keep or transfer all my current programs and apps and documents currently on my MB Pro Retina.

    Yes, upgrading to Yosemite will not touch your 3rd party apps or files in the Home folder.
    Although not mandatory you should have a a backup of your hard drive regardless if you upgrade to Yosemite or not.  To not have a backup is just playing  Russian roulette as there are only two types of hard drives;  those that have failed and those that will.

  • Remote Execute and File Transfer Error

    Whenever we try to do a Remote Execute of File Transfer, we get an 1899
    error. Here's the strange thing, we can RE and FT to desktops that are
    still running the ZfD 4.x client. Seems to be only happening on the latest
    (ZfD 6.5sp2). Any ideas? Also, remote control and remote view still work
    w/o problem.
