Slow transfers

[Adross]

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased my bubba two and I've been loving it. However, I've noticed that when transferring files, the speed maxes out at around 6.5 mB/s. This occurs on multiple different gigabit networks and over different protocols, with ssh, smb and ftp all maxing out at these speeds.
Running top at this time shows that the cpu is running at ~48% capacity, so I doubt that that is the limiting factor here.
Is this normal behaviour, or is something amiss here? I am running both the latest firmware(from the web interface), and I have manually upgraded using apt.

Basically its a known issue with ftp etc. SSH is always slow anyway, because of the CPU overheads. Nobody knows why yet. Performance for other traffic is fine though and is pretty close to the theoretical specs of gigabit LAN.

The other thread stated that, normally, smb transfers should be about 7 mB/s, tops.

If so, why even bother putting gigabit ethernet on?

This was resolved by moving to the unstable repositories

Hmm
and how to do that??

Edit /etc/apt/sources.lst and uncomment the unstable sources.

Bear in mind that unstable sources are precisely that and you could damage your install, so only try this if you are comfortable with manually fixing anything that potentially goes wrong.

This thread might give you some guidance as well
