Crashplan upload performance

Hey Satiated, Have you tried increasing the upload rate in CP's network settings? Below is a good guide to help with increasing CP's speed. http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/recipe/speeding_up_your_backup I'm about 3 months in of my initial seed. So far I've up'd about 1.4TB. My ISP upload bandwidth is capped at 1.9 Mb per sec. and CP maxes it out. I normally throttle it at 1 Mbps so my normal browsing isn't effected.

Hi fbmachines,

Thanks for your reply. I followed the steps in that article - no improvement in speed. It's still sitting at around 450-500kbps. I did another ftp test to a ftp server on the net, sending a 5MB JPG and it got around 1040kbps. The line speed is 1300kbps, so 1040kbps is probably pretty close to the max it's capable of.

I ran "top" to see if it's maxing out the CPU - it's not. Crashplan is using about 10-15% CPU and it's the only active process on the machine.

I did notice that there's only 24MB of free physical memory on the box. The java process for crashplan is using 682MB of virtual memory and has 71MB of phyiscal memory, if I'm reading top's output correctly.

Confused!
