Hi All, I have several PCs in my home network. I have a DSL speed of 2550/640 or so. One of these PCs is an FTP server. As i give more upload speed to FTP server, my download speed decreases. 50% upload, loose 50% download. I am told this is caused by ACK packets that can't get back to servers I am downloading from. I just need ftp server to be low priority so others in the house can work when they need too. I tried to put FTP server on port 1 of my linksys wrt54G linksys and the rest of the house on port 2 through a gigabit switch and give port 2 high priority. That did nothing for me that I could tell. I know this router is for gaming, but does it help by dealing with the ACK packets? Would be nice to let ftp run freely until someone needs to do something. All PCs are XP based.
