Slow LAN Transfers

Hey, everyone.

 

I've been using Teamviewer as a way to locally transfer media to my Plex server but recently it hasn't gone over 1 MB/s so I tried using HomeGroup and mapping a network drive but I'm getting the same speed.

I've already tested both drive speeds and they don't seem to be the issue. Neither are the ethernet adapters as both are 1 GB/s.

 

Any suggestions?

you could try and setup an FTP server for your local network - (just block any external connections at the router) this would allow you much greater control - much less overhead, and all internal - Teamviewer has to achieve it's connections by routing through an external server...

Alternatively - set up a network shared drive that your Plex server can access, that you can just use windows file browser to access...

defrag your server drive

 

Edit:

 

don't use the MS defrag. 

 

Defraggler or O&O Defrag do a good job.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

Thanks, guys but neither worked.

Any other suggestions?

I just tested on my old MacBook and it transfers files at a normal speed so I'm thinking it's a problem on my computer and not the server. Any ideas?

why not use share folders instead of teamviewer?

 

in the slow machines network adapter settings what negotiated speed does it say?

 

also what is your network topology?
