My YunoHost server

Hardware: Computer at home

I have access to my server : Through SSH | through the webadmin | direct access via keyboard / screen
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Hi again everyone !

Description of my issue

Simple : While my internet connection is great, I get very slow file transfer, be it using nextcloud or sftp. Both give me around 10 MB/s, while my internet connection is around 500Mb/s. And this being the case even on my local network. Am I missing something ?

Thank you for you help !

hi!

10 MB/s is acceptable if your server uses HDD and not SSD
is your server hosted on a HDD?

[Mamie]

Not a real answer, but there is a HUGE difference between MB/s and Mb/s, 80Mb/s = 10MB/s (or it may be the contrary).

But as you say on the local network you have a great bandwith (with Nextcloud and FTP), it may be a problem with your Internet router.

Do you mind giving us this information ?

I does use a SSD. But is a HDD read speed so slow ? I did not know at all !

[PP44]

I think I am not mixing units too badly. Yes, MB != Mb, but I still miss about 85% of my bandwidth. Maybe this is normal, I would just like to understand why.

I get my numbers by :

• Speedtest from my desktop pc (about 500Mb/s)
• Filezilla Stats from my PC to my server (about 10 MB/s)
  both are connected to the same router

Sorry if it was not clear : I do not have great bandwidth on my local network. These numbers come from a local connection. So I am even more surprised ! Is there any way to test the speed between my server and desktop ?

Bonus question : When I connect to my server (via SSH, SFTP, HTTP, POP,etc.) from my desktop computer connected to the same router, does the traffic ever leave my local network ? Does my internet connection speed even matter ?

[OniriCorpe]

maybe you can test your raw bandwidth between your server and desktop using iperf3?

Using my local IP :

I cannot test using my domain name, despite redirecting port 5201 on my router, any idea why ?

(Thank you so much for the time you are taking for me )

Install librespeed on your server and test it

Results are in :

It looks like your server has 100-Base T ethernet card or cable. Check your ethernet card or try changing the cable

[PP44]

I’m so stupid… I was that simple… My ethernet controller is 100-Base T… Which I guess is about 12 MB/s…

Thank you
