RE: PTF FTP download speed

TCP rcv/send buffer is 65535

I suppose I will just need to remain patient.

Even though we have a smoking hot internet connection I experience your
results also. You may want to prompt CHGTCPA and see what you have for TCP
receive buffer size TCP send buffer size .
I swore I changed these up to 65535 at our last IPL but they seem to be back
down to 8192. I just changed it on the fly. Others have encouraged me to
do so. There's even a Websphere install thing that I've seen which
encourages you to kick it up to 65535.
I have literally ordered them on physical media and have them beat the
internet. I suggest you run this in batch so that you can disconnect your
session at night. Or use your HMC remote console capability to do it that
way.

I am downloading the latest cume for V7R2 via FTP from IBM.

I have a total of 7 gig to download and have received only 1.7 gig in
about
3 hours.



Why so slow?



I will probably just kick this FTP session off again overnight to get the
last 2 files, but at the current rate it will take another 10 hours to do
the entire cume.
