So I switch between Ubuntu and Windows alot, because some games I can only get to run smoothly in the windows environment. Anyways, one thing I have been noticing ever since I got Ubuntu but never really questioned, was about my download speeds. When downloading a torrent in Windows, I topped out out about 2.0 mb/s. Where as in my Ubuntu install, running the same torrent program (utorrent) and downloading the same file, I was getting 3.0 mb/s. I was wondering, what is it about Ubuntu that is utilizing my internet connection better? Only a hand ful of times have I ever reached 3.0 in my windows install (such as right now while I am downloading a game through steam).

I am experiencing the slow transfer speed from my Lenny to Windows 7. Both of my NIC's are oboard Nvidia nForce 1GBPs. For example 200MB transfer from Win to Lenny (default samba shares) takes about a minute, while the other way around takes an hour!!!. I get similar transfer behavior through sFTP.
Can somebody clarify if the problem is in NIC drivers, MTU (I can't set it up higher than 1500), or smb.conf settings

I have been doing a variety of speed tests on my ethernet connection in preparation for upgrading my service and found that the connection on my dell d630 is not getting expected download speeds. In fact, it is getting about a third of the expected speed. This machine is running Lucid. It also dual boots Windows Vista. Checking Vista a moment ago, the speed is fine. What could be the problem that is preventing the ethernet from working at 100%?

I have a server in a colocation environment where I'm allotted 25Mbps. I'd like to avoid exceeding that for obvious reasons. Is there a way I can set the link speed or at least throttle the bandwidth for all services?

I have a CentOS 5.5 machine (hosted at a remote hosting company) where "ethtool" reports that the eth0 device is currently in 10 Mbps mode, but the output indicates that it supports 100 Mbps. But if I try using ethtool to switch the device into 100 Mbps mode, it doesn't work; after running the command to switch it to 100 Mbps, ethtool reports the speed is still 10 Mbps:
[root@sls-eb5p17 network-scripts]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
[Code]...
The man page at [URL]..ethtool seems to suggest that this should have worked. Any reason why the reported speed of the device didn't change? Changing other settings doesn't appear to work either, e.g. if I specify "duplex half" instead of "speed 100", eth0 still reports "Duplex: Full".

I know this may be just me being a little bias on OS's but... I quite honestly believe that "some" programs run faster on linux than on windows.
Open Office for example, It runs amazingly fast on my linux distro but runs horribly (laggy) on my Vista machine.
Firefox also appears to run faster on my linux machine than on my Vista machine.
There are several more examples but I could go on and on with this.
My point is, do programs run faster on linux than on windows? Or is it just me that is in denial?
I am not sure if comparing linux to Vista is a good comparison in terms of program speed or not...
Also it should be noted that the Vista machine "hardware" is "several" times faster than my linux machine's "hardware".
I am not trying to start a flame war or anything like that, I am just trying to make sure I haven't totally lost my mind.

I'd like open windows to reappear from the taskbar faster. There's always a delay of at least 1 or 2 seconds between clicking on a minimized window and it being restored.
At first I assumed this was a limitation of ubuntu, but I've realised since the delay is the same across the board, regardless of the application, which makes me think it's a deliberate setting.
Am I right - and if so where can I alter it?

I noticed that on Linux, applications are much, much smaller but they take forever to start sometimes (namely, OpenOffice). However, MS Office starts up super fast, but I see it is huge (it needs 2GB to install).
Is there a trade-off between size and start time? If so, is it possible to "enlarge" some of my programs so they would start faster? I have plenty of unused disk space, and a few larger programs wouldn't really hurt.

Two very simmilar laptops connected to the same WiFi router loading the same web pages. Firefox on Windows does that for 3 secons, while Firefox on Ubuntu needs 1-3 minutes to load the same page. What could be the reason for this? Any idea how to fix it? The laptop with Ubuntu runs 10.04 LTS (lucid), Firefox is 3.6.10 and on any other WiFi network it loads the web pages really faster but why is much slower than Windows now?When testing the speed on URL...Ubuntu loads times faster than Windows. The WiFi router has been reseted. Firefox has been started in -safe-mode, both didn't help.

I've set up the Apple Magic Trackpad with my dual-scren Ubuntu system, the screens of which give me combined screen resolution 3360x1050. It works basically, however the coordinate ranges are messed up, as follows.Moving my finger the bottom of the trackpad to the top, my pointer moves from bottom of display to top.However the same is true horizontally: From the left side of the trackpad to the right, the pointer moves from the left of the monitor A to the right of monitor B.Thus the speed horizontally is 3 times what it is vertically.How can I fix this? Even if I remove one monitor (no big deal) the pointer will still move 50% faster horizontally

I am a GNOME user but because of the release of GNOME 3 i decided that i may have to start using KDE. So i installed KDE 4.6 from the qt-kde debian repository. It works more or less OK but i have a problem with the performance. It just doesn't feel as snappy as GNOME. For example if i have minimized Firefox when i maximize it it takes about a second for the window to draw and until then i just see and empty window. Or when i open nautilus it too takes a little to open and draw the window. Overall KDE seems a little unresponsive. Is this normal? And second, from time to time there seems to be huge performance issues - KDE suddenly becomes very slow - programs take a while to open, and the windows draw even slowlier than what i described previously. Also whenever there is a slowdown (like for example when i start a program) i hear some kind of scratching noises from a my laptop - like there is a heavy hard disk activity. I've heard that kind of noises before when doing something very demanding like compiling or archiving something.
Is there any way to make KDE more responsive and faster. I have disabled strigi and nepomuk.
I am running KDE on Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6.39-1-amd64 and NVidia driver 270.41.19 on a Thinkpad T61 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T9300, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m and 4GB of Ram.

I put the KDE NOIPV6 in the /etc/environment file, but nothing happened it seems.
The problem = Midori / other browsers are too unstable with Flash; but Konqueror is lightning-fast with Flash and apparently takes up the least resources too. But the problem with that is, the aforementioned 20 seconds to 2 minute web page load time, even though I have 5-8 MBps cable Internet.
Midori is a little slow too to load web pages, now that I think about it, but faster once I have first visited a domain.

I use openvpn to connect otherwise isolated machines, and use samba to share filesystems across the vpn, which works just fine.But I recently discovered that copying files using rsync -e ssh is so much faster than copying from a mounted filesystem - like about 5 times faster.I've got comp-lzo enabled in both server and the client, at least I think I have, the directive is there in both the server.conf and the client.conf files, but how do I check that it's active?Does anyone know if I can make openvpn behave more like rsync, because copying is easier than rsyncing?

Since I use my computer for some intense processor calculations, without any fancy graphical needs, I decided to apply a mild OC on the BIOS settings, to speed thing a bit up.I own an AMD Phenom II 1055T (2.8GHz) cpu. I changed the base freq from 200 to 203, and changed the multipliers of the standard and boost freqs to x15 and x16.5, so now the BIOS reads 3045 MHz and 3349 MHz for both speeds.

I have installed Wubi (Ubuntu 10.10) recently. It takes more time to boot than Windows. But my main concern is that my browsing speed is much slower compared to that on Windows 7. How can this be resolved?

I have a laptop on which I would like to install Fedora 10. As the laptop has a broken CD drive I'm looking for a way to install it somehow else.
As I have a second PC with Windows Vista and a VMWare installed, I was thinking if that could help me in any way?
Is there a way how I can transfere Vista Business into a server and my Laptop can install it from there?
Also I could manage to get the ISO on the Laptops HDD (which is currently Windows XP), but haven't found a way how I can install it as I mounted the ISO to a CD drive, can access the files but windows xp wont let me install it from there.

I wanted to test 10.04 and downloaded Wubi to do so. Normal setup, it automatically picked the 64-bit version. After booting into Wubi, installing my ATI drivers and restarting it did no longer connect to my ethernet. A few reboots didn't help so I went back to Windows for troubleshooting.
However now Windows doesn't connect to the ethernet either. It's plain dead, Windows doesn't find any connections and the modem doesn't light the Ethernet cable LED. The modem itself works fine with wireless devices. I have now tried everything including uninstalling Ubuntu, system restore, driver rollback, driver update, BIOS default settings, a different cable, a different modem etc.
This is a 64-bit specific issue because I tested the 32-bit version of Wubi 10.04 a few months ago without problems.
Windows 7 x64
Wubi 10.04 x64
Gigabyte P55-UD3 with onboard Realtek RTL8111D LAN.
I'd like to get out of this without Ubuntu effectively having broken my hardware and my trust in it.

I need to test network card throughput and speed between two computers, one is running Fedora and other running Windows 7. Usually I would use netperf to perform this task, however I can't find Windows build of netperf. Can anyone recommend any network evaluation tool, similar to netperf (clien/server) which has both Windows and Linux versions.

Ubuntu 64bit. The sound system works and plays noises correctly when I test the speakers in sound preferances. The internet BBCi player(Radio) plays sound correctly. Banshee & Rhythmbox try to play music files at double, or more, speed with no sound output. Spotify Linux version also tries to playback at double speed with no sound output. Media Player attempts to play music files at high speed. Media player plays the Video and audio tracks at high speed. VLC Will play the video at normal speed but with no audio.

I installed UBUNTU 10.10 alongside windows 7. Now the problem is: If i boot into UBUNTU first, ethernet does not work. But it works if i boot windows first and restart back into UBUNTU. Which means i have to boot windows first to make ethernet work on UBUNTU every time i start my PC.
