Windows Task Manager - Network Usage
Hi, I have two notebooks connected using a straight cable (Fast ethernet LAN
boards). Both notebooks with Windows XP. When I copy 1 Gbps size file from notebook 1 to notebook 2, I see the network usage like 85% till 88%. If, at this moment, I copy another more one file, the trhoughput goes to 99%. When I copy the same file (1 Gbps size), but with Linux, the network usage goes to 99%. Why don´t Windows uses all network, when I copy 1 file ??? -- Fantinel |

Windows Networking is quite a bit slower than FTP for transferring files, for example. With Windows Networking, it also makes a difference in speed as to whether you are pushing the data or pulling it. It could be that periodically the transfer has to stop while more disk space is allocated on the receiving end. HTH, John |
