EDT FTP Compact slow on 3G

Question

I have tested uploading some small images from my wm5 pda to IIS via both UK domestic ADSL and 3G services. The 3G is very slow - a 55KB file takes 1min 4 sec where as ADSL takes 4 seconds.

Any ideas why 3G is slow? Is it because I am on a trial? Is there a faster alternative??

Thanks

Answer 1

The trial edition will work at the same speed as the production version. Perhaps your 3G network is slow?

One thing you could try is varying the size of the transfer buffer, from between say 1000 (bytes) up to 64000 (bytes). That can make a big difference on slower networks.

Answer 2

thanks for that. i use vb.net - do you have a code sample as i don't currently have buffers in my script.
thanks
