So I fixed the apps writing to SD issue.. But I can't tell if the torrents themselves are slow or because it's writing to SD that makes it slow
Anyone go through this?
I've used Flud myself because of how highly regarded it is, but for whatever reason I always had slow download speeds. Tobtest it I tried downloading the same torrent on both Flud and tTorrent. I got greay speeds from tTorrent, but terrible speeds from Flud. I assumed it had something to do with the settings, but never looked into it further.

Hey all.
Does anyone have any tips to improve file transfer speeds. I recently bought a 2gig memory card and have been loading it with mp3s but it's painfully slow.
I thought WM5/activesync 4 was usb 2.0 compatible, but my transfer speeds are only 3Mbps which seems very slow.
Is this the same for everyone or do I have a problem of some sort
Thanks
Use a card reader or the software card export.

hi, so ive been experimenting with transfer speeds to the SD-CARD with my nexus one.
so far i managed :
2mb/sec using the stock USB cable, with eclair, same with froyo stock kernel.
via WiFi tether and connecting a laptop to it, transfering files via FTP server on the android device
1.5-2mb/sec on froyo tethering
using the wifi tether app on eclair, around 600kb/s (fail? or maybe some cyanogen issues)
i recently upgraded to a CLASS6 transcend 16gb sdcard
yet the results are the same.
i tried a few SD-CARD testing apps, all results were around 2mb/s
is this some sort of hardware/software limitation?
did anyone get passed 2mb/s?
in theory my card should reach 6mb/sec write speeds.
so im hoping we can share our experiances.. and maybe come to some conclusion on whats going on, and finally put these issues to rest.
So you're trying to do what? You're on cellular, wifi, tethered, SD card speeds.....
I don't get the point.
If you're wanting to benchmark your SD card, maybe this program? I haven't tried it yet, just finally thought about searching. http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/performance.test/
You say "mb" which isn't correct for anything (unless you really mean "millabit"). Do you mean megaBIT (Mb) or megaBYTE (MB) / sec ?
I just ran several tests from this Vista PC using ADB Push to the SD card (a 16GB Class 6), and I see 9-13 megabit/second or 1.1 - 1.3 megabyte/second rates, at file sizes from 10 to 25 MB.
This is a Vista work PC, running around 40 applications, Symantec AV and Firewall and all manner of other crap. If I think about it, I'll pound out a test from a real computer later.
lol Why are you people giving him such a hard time ?
He wants to figure out the fastest transfer speeds. Who gives a crap about Mb Mb MB or benchmarking his SD.
N1 transfer speeds are slow regardless of the SD card. Im not sure why.
I would like to know if file transfers over USB , or Wifi result in faster transfers.
I think the OP is wanting to do the same thing.
Using the Websharing or FTP via Efile sometimes gave me better results than USB.
lol yea be gentle guys. But yea I remember reading that it's always gonna be slower using USB and Phone, it's better to take your card out and use a reader. It's usually at least 2 times faster when I take my SD out and use a reader

Those are just a few of many more, I am sure.
But none of the the existing Nexus One SD card threads are worded like " Nexus one maximum transfer speed (using all methods)", so lets just add this one to the pile please.

Thanks for the post, regardless of the patronizing of others... I've wondered the same thing as I've only gotten 2mb/sec going through the USB mount in android. I thought something was wrong with my computer so I've tried both pc and mac with the same speeds. I thought it was my memory card so I plugged it directly into a card reader and got 4x's the speed...
My main reason for wanting this to be fixed or acknowledged is for sync'ing music through programs like Salling Media Sync. It seems to me a wifi alternative would be faster even at 802.11g if it's related to the USB interface... let me know what you find I'm curious...
My wife's transfer speed was 3.6 on the stock SD card...
I have a class 6 and speed is under 2
I try to switch cards later and see if my class 6 goes faster on her N1
I too have never seen faster than 2mbish, even when i upgraded from stock to a class 2 8gb, and then to a class 6 16GB
Title says all.
I've tried many different roms, and there was only one that offered me significant speeds.
Has anyone else been experiencing these issues? not only in android market, but also on speedtest app. On any kernal/build my speeds are capped to 3megs when it hits over its like it hits a dead wall and just stops from 0megs again... My connection is a 60meg/5meg mind you, but I know that my wireless router is slowing dieing, but it usually gets around 8megs from a G adapter..
I'm really stumped here.
Edit: Running MDJ's, speed test gives me about 9.50 and 4.97. Right where there supposed to be, but.... Real download speeds are still slow, market, HTC Locations download, and etc.
Hi,
since i have bought milestone 2 i have the similar problem... even now with the newest original rom
the downloading is interrupting almost every time, browser have never downloaded bigger file than approximate 20 mb and even opera mini doesnt work well with downloading
since i have got the fasterdownolader app it says me sometimes that the problem is system file read only (null)... or something like that, but i am downloading strictly on the sd card which is weird... so doesnt anybody know where could be the problem?
I have rooted rom with 1-click rooter
Sometimes it helps me to mount and umount sd card, but sometimes it doesnt.
The only app without downloading problems is dropbox
can i do something with the sd card to makes it work better? (for example)
I could be wrong but I believe it is more so to with with mobile internet in general being too unstable and some of the sources you download from don't work very well with it. This problem is most common with file sharing sites for myself, ones that don't support resuming downloads. Little bumps and resets in the connection (although you are not aware they happen) cause it to stall and then it simply wont resume. I've seen it happen on phones of friends etc, and even had it happen downloading over wireless hotspot on my laptop.
Some games with in app downloads will be very hard to download over my data connection and I only end up wasting nearly 1gb of my cap only to have 3 failed downloads halfway through, then it is seemless on wifi when I get home.
If you need a good download test side ... I always use the new release of ubuntu ... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/
And if you want to make sure it is not your mobile internet connection ... did you have the same problem with WLAN and downloads?
Just some ideas ... maybe it helps!
Thank you both for help
Finally I have got the answer, my main problem is SD card bigger than 8 GB
Since i have the 16 gb' card I have problems with reading and writing data on it
Mount and Unmount card is my daily routine, because even MortPlayer has a problem to play a music sometimes
Have you read this post?

I have and it did solve my problem I forgot to note it here
but thank you very much, it is sometimes hard to be a muggle and to find a solution only by yourself
Even with newest gingerbread my new 16 gb's sd card freezes repeatedly...
but to replace the dll's did helped me (hopefully)

Hi,
My internet speed is okay I speedtested in on both of my android devices and laptop. (Nexus 7, T-mobile Samsung Galaxy SII)
Download speed is 10mbps + /sec
It runs youtube,netflix, etc well and does not have to buffer.
But both devices have the same problem which is the download speed on google play is just so slow.
It is about 5-50 kbps/sec
It took almost 10 minutes just to update google chrome.
I only have this problem with the wifi in my house, in the other places it seem to be okay.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thank you.
Update just test at a coffee shop its around 1-2mbps / sec to download apps
but at home still 5-50kbps.
Anyone?
No idea what would be causing this but if you look for an Aroma flashable zip called "pimp my ROM" (its available in the general android apps section of xda) it has some networking tweaks that may speed things up for you.
Happening today to me as well, never before though since I have owned the N7.
Yes I would say this is pretty recent, started happening to me probably a month ago to my galaxy s ii
I mean even with when it is okay (not with my own wifi at home) it can't seem to go faster than 1mbps /sec while it used to be able to.
Other apps and everything are working fine tho. Download some 6mbps file on the browser took me about 2 seconds.
Just the Google Play that has this problem. still can't seem to go higher than 50kbps /sec.
I'm downloading Nova 3 right now and it probably take at least 20 hours+

Not real sure but if you flash Franco Fransisco's latest kernel you will have faster dl speeds from playstore. Its in his log and its true. Definitely sped my dls up. I realize youre trying to determine why its different at your place vs others but this is what came to my mind right off as his op states it and its worked wonders for me. Hes a really great kernel developer.:thumbup:
Grouper/CNA 3.6.6/Franco r16
Tried all methods above, didn't seem to help.
I also did try clear data on google play and google framework but didn't help either.
Like I said the browsing speed is fine and everything only the google play speed when you download / update apps.
