RoboTask forum

I'm currently using Robotask to transfer a lot of data using FTP on an internal network. There is a 100Mbps connection between machines, but it appears that Robotask only can utilize 30% of this speed. Using other FTP tools like Filezilla to do the transfer manually between the exact same machines have no problems utilizing the full available bandwidth.
Are there any limitations to the bandwidth usable for a single ftp session? Are there any way to tune the speed?
Robotask is running on a pretty new IBM server under windows server 2003.

The special-purpose download managers are using complex multi-threaded mechanism for download of files. This allows speeding up downloading process.

We hadn't as object the getting high downloading speed from FRP or HTTP servers. RoboTask uses internal Window's engine (WinAPI) and simple single-threaded model to download files. Therefore, the speed of downloading is some lower than in download managers such as Filezilla or FlushGet when you download one file.

Try to download a few files at a time in different tasks. I think that RoboTask will utilize 100% of network speed.

Using FTP in local network is much slower, than the usual file transfer between computers.
