Slow local FTP transfer on A1200

[Everblue]

I am trying to transfer 5 gigs of WHDLoad files from my MAC (FTP Server) to my A1200 (FTP Client).

This is my A1200 setup:

Desktop A1200 with Blizzard 030/50 MK IV with 16 megs of RAM
OS3.9
Genesis TCP/IP Stack
AmiFTP
PCMCIA Network Card

Everything connects fine as it should but when I am trying to transfer files, I get uber slow speeds - around 2300CPS, at this rate it will take months, if not years for everything to go through!

Just for testing, I used my PC Laptop to transfer a few files from the same FTP and the speeds were super high (megabits), so I wonder, whats wrong?

Thanks in advance for yoru suggestions!

Hi there, thanks for the answers.

I have two updates:

1. I am trying to run GenesisPrefs, but when I double click the Icon, nothing happens. No program comes up. I have tried running SnoopDos in the background and it seems that it is looking for some .mcc files (MUI?). I do have MUI properly installed. Any idea what could be wrong?

2. I have found out that if I transfer a single (large) file, it will transfer at a relatively high speed - but when transferring WHDLoad games folders it just gets stuck at very low speeds.

Thanks again for any suggestions!

Thanks everyone for your contributions!

I will start out by installing boing bag 1 and 2

Here is an update, which maybe useful for future amiga users having the same problem.

I have zipped the 5 gigs of WHDLOAD files on my PC, and the resultant file is 3 gigs. I have then transferred them to my Amiga via FTP (PC = server, Amiga = client) at very high speeds, taking slightly less than 15 minutes.



Now now, how much will take to unzip the lot?

I guess will know soon!
