Description Francesco 2010-08-02 23:25:32 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

On a 100 Mbit network the sftp client from shell transfers files at a speed of 11.1 MiB/sec. Instead the sftp client integrated in dolphin does not exceed 4 MiB/sec.

 why dolphin is slower than pure sftp ?

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32
Compiler: cc

Hi Francesco! Would you like to try smb protocol too? Is it slower than expected?


Many thanks.

Comment 2 Francesco 2010-08-03 20:51:29 UTC

Yes, when I download a file from SMB protocol with Dolphin the speed oscillates between  3.8 MiB/sec and 6.5 MiB/sec

Thanks. Moved to KIO.

Comment 4 David Watzke 2010-10-12 22:30:45 UTC

Same problem w/ KDE's 4.5.2 Dolphin -- about ~2 MB/s with Dolphin, about ~11 MB/s with sftp... This is really annoying.

[Comment from a bug triager]
The sftp speed issue is being tracked at bug 218798. Merging. Thanks
