is the ethernet port on the H2S only 10Mbps ?
i'm copying a file from the box via FTP to PC.
PC is gigabit connected to router (via gigabit port), H2S connected to 100Mbps port on router, yet the transfer is only at 11Mbps.

copy ing a 3.8GB file is taking quite over 5 minutes.
 
It stuck at exactly 11Mbps for every transfer I made, so not varying at all.
Seems 11 was the maximum it could achieve
 
There are loads of variables chenks. Such as hard drive speed, speed of processors, quality of cables to name a few
 
Yes but the fact it never varied off 11 is suspect.
Are you just guessing or do you know for a fact the Ethernet port is 100Mbps?
 
Is it 11Mb or 11MB, here's a good explanation from another site

A 10/100 card running at 100mbps would be capable of 100 million bits per second. A byte is 8 bits, so devide that by 8 to get 12.5 megabytes per second.

Now, this does not take into account the overhead for TCP/IP packets. You'll see a little less actual data throuput because of the extra information required by TCP/IP to send that data (information about what IP is sending it, what IP and port it is destined for, etc...).

Now, this also is assuming an ideal transmission path. Your cabling might make some difference. For instance, you might see signal loss and packet loss over long distances or due to external interference. Also, kinks or tight bends in ethernet cable can cause packet loss and lower throughput as well due to resending packets. Poorly made cables with bad or loose connections can also severely hinder network performance.

If you use a hub instead of a switch, you will also not see your 100mbit totally realized due to all of the machines on your network sharing the 100mbit through that hub. Switches help to get rid of that bottleneck and get rid of collisions (two machines talking at once).
 
I clearly said 11Mbps.
Please don't try and teach me how to suck eggs.

I'm simply looking for the answer the question I asked.
 
Chill out chenks, gmangt4 is only trying to help you.
Ask your Granny for help.

or someone could just answer the bloody question!
if gmangt4 had ready by initial post he/she wouldn't have needed to do that wikipedia copy/paste.
 
i got a max of 11.74 MB/s
using yummy on a mac

cheap boxes, trying to keep box prices down
im sure some of the top boxes will go alot quicker
 
this confirms my thoughts that the ethernet port is connected to a USB header on the board.
USB1 maxes out at around 11Mbps IIRC.

i wonder if this could potentially cause problems when the recording location is a networked drive, particularly HD content.
 
i already changed the recording location to a network share last night.
i only noticed the speed when i was moving previous recordings to the new location.
 
depends what you deem as "full speed".
i wouldn't say 11Mbps is "full speed" for an ethernet port of current standards.
 
You are getting the maximum data throughput that a 10/100 ethernet port can transfer.
So either buy a better box with a gigabit port or go make a cup of tea.

if it isnt broke, take it apart then it soon will be.
