Why is connecting to external FTP sites slow on virtual 2008 R2 and not on host?
- by subkamran
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 installed as a virtual guest in my Windows 7 host via VirtualBox 4.0.
I did this to move my development activity to a controlled environment that doesn't affect my host OS when I don't want to develop.
The problem I have is that when I try to connect to my shared hosting FTP, it's slow as hell on the virtual OS but perfectly fast on the host.
I tried:
Disabling Windows Firewall
Trying several different FTP clients
Anyone else have this issue?
