ok so my small intranet is up and running but i've one problem.
If i place a file (lets say a Norton update -17mb) in the download section,
why will it actually download at internet speeds not 10/100mbs lan like it should ?

i mean since we have bandwidth constraints downloads over the internet is 5kbps max, so since the intranet is just s plain pc in our office why cant we download @ 10 or higher speeds, rather than 5kbps ?

help greatly appreciated
 
where are you downloading from? if from the internet, the internet connection speed will be your bottleneck. If transferring files from one pc to another WITHIN the network, you will get much higher transfer rates, but still probably wont peg 100mbps even though you have a 10/100 switch

seems you didn't understand, im downloading from my intranet, a small website i created for work purposes and on there i host some files. You said that if im tranferring from another Pc on my network i will get higher speeds but i realldon't that the problem. the Pc is hosting the files via a webpage and my downloads should be local like above 10mbps but its not it remains normal like downloaing from the net which is 5kbps..any ideas why this is.
and no its not the switches, they are 100mbps
 
is this MS or MAC based? sounds like a feature in IIS that allows you to limit bandwidth when accessing a webpage so that your connection isnt hogged up...but im not a web developer and i took IIS class back in 2000 but havent had to manage on IIS server, ever, so there isnt much more I can help out with.
 
nah no macs here this is windows server 2003 hosting the site via Apache, im guessing its an issue with Apache or sumthing, i need to try IIS
 
nopes stil not working, same result as when i used apache, i wanted to touch that bandwidth throttling thingy but i didn't ..lol.
any ideas ?
