    I used to use a cat5e cable with my xbox to my router, then connect my PC to my XBOX through FTP, that lasted a couple months maybe, I don't remember... then it started acting very slow when moving files to the XBOX from PC, like 70kb/s and I changed the cable to a cat6 cable and then got my normal speeds back (7-9mb/s) and ive been using this cat6 cable for a good 6 months I guess. But today when I tried moving files to the XBOX the speeds were around 70kb/s and it would take hours for the files to transfer. I don't understand this crap! Now, do i gotta buy a cat cable every so often because they go bad? i just don't understand it

    any ideas?

    Please, if anybody can help me I would greatly appreciate it. If you know of an alternative way of transfering files to XBOX via FTP and not using a cat cable, please explain. I need to transfer files to my xbox. I don't understand why it's going soooo slow. =(

    Ive had similiar problems. I just got a wireless router and my transfer speeds are around 500K a second instead of the usual 7-9m a second. I tried turning off passive mode and tried different cables both to no avail.

    grab urself a wireless g router, lynksys is the best i think, then get a bridge or a gammin bridge, bother are the same eb the gammin is like 60$ cheaper. u connect ur pc with a G card and u use the router to send the signal between ur com an xbox, or just straight from ur xbox to ur pc
