Question : FTP transfer 5 K/s max

Hello everyone,

is there some sort of config setting or service that would cap my FTP download transfer rate at 5 K/s? It will peak to 7 then stay around 5 K/s......not acceptable lol.

CentOS 5.4, using vsftpd and ncftp connecting to multiple private and public FTP sites for downloads.

Windows boxes all work fine I can hit speeds of at least 200+ K/s

I have tried multiple linux servers, and I put a live CD in my my laptop for CentOS 5.4 and had the same problem. Soon as I boot back to windows im good.

Any thoughts?

There are many SQL Server operations that use tempdb to perform sorts and things like that.  Tempdb may bloat to very large sizes.  Restarting SQL Server will shrink tempdb since it's recreated every time SQL starts.  However, this may not be an option in your environment.

Best practice is to put tempdb on a separate disk and make sure it's adequately sized for your day to day operations.

FWIW, temp tables should be automatically destroyed when the connection that created them is dropped.  Table variables are good if you have the memory to support them.
