Slow ftp speeds to xboxs but not from

[cOrPsE]

DHCP, PC and Xbox are wired ethernet. All devices in the same room. Basically one day it was fine and the next it wasn't. Its so strange. When I ftp to any xbox from my PC, it maxes out around 1mb on FlashFXP. I have tried from Linux using a different client. Also tried 3 different windows clients. I changed out modems and ethernet NIC. If I setup an FTP from one xbox to another, the speeds between them are great/normal like 11mb. I can take files FROM the xboxs to my PC at the same speed. This is not simply just a 1 xbox issue if you cant tell. Any xbox I hook up, same shit happens. I tried 3 different dashboards. Tried different HDDs obv. The only thing I can think of is around the time this started happening, I did the forza multiple screen thing through DHCP. However my setup has completely changed since then, and new xboxs too. I am really lost on what this could be. I feel like i have covered every single base, but problem persists. This has happened to me in the past and 2 things fixed it. One time, I changed the ethernet cable. Tried that this time, didn't work. It specifically happened after a windows update way back so i reverted to an old version and that fixed it. However trying linux I feel has ruled that out. /shrug

So the variable in the equation is your PC. Turn off your antivirus and try again. 

Edit: in your last sentence I see you mention you tried linux. Does your pc ALSO have a wifi card in it? I know you say it's hard-wired but I'm curious on that point.

No my PC does not have a wifi card. I will try a diff PC later today either way.

Ok. Also try removing the default gateway from all devices during ftp. You'll lose internet access but it will give you good data. Let me know if the transfers still complete and the speed if so.

strange. a different computer didn't even help. I did not remove the default gateway just because that seems like more work to undo so sorry for that. I am just gonna cut my losses.

Have you tried connecting an Xbox directly to your PC? Crossover cable probably not required with a modern NIC. Just set a static IP on both Xbox and PC. If the problem goes away, you can focus on looking closer at your home network setup.

Directly connected speeds are good. I doesnt make sense though. I can DHCP ftp to my PS3 at very fast speeds, just not xbox. As I pointed out, this problem has persisted through a modem change and like 5 windows re-installs + trying linux. So lost.

Unlikely, but  problems I would check for:

- Conflicting IP address: Devices that haven't given up their DHCP address, or conflicting static IP addresses.

- Conflicting MAC addresses.
