Uploading to my local server is slower than downloading from the Internet
- by Olivier Lalonde
I have a home Ubuntu server that I use for storage. I have mounted a sftp share on my laptop to access my server but the upload speed I get is very slow (~400kb/s) compared to speeds I usually get when downloading through Bittorrent (~800kb/s). It's kind of weird... I should get higher speeds on a LAN than on the Internet...
How can I speed up uploads to my server and how can I troubleshoot where the bottleneck is?
