Help - Transfer Preferences

On the Transfers tab under the Preferences dialog, the Size of File Segments and Mailbox Size can be changed. 

  • Changing the Size of File Segments setting affects the size that files are split into.  For example, a request is made for a file that is 2 MB in size.  The size of file segments is set at 500 KB which is 1/2 MB.  RemoteBot would split the 2MB into four 500 KB files.

    The default segment size is 256KB. The following table illustrates recommended segment sizes by Internet connection speed.

    Internet Connection Speed Recommended Segment Size
    14.4K or 28.8K modem 100 KB
    56K modem 256 KB
    ISDN 64K (one channel) 256 KB
    ISDN 128K (two channels) 500 KB
    Cable Modem or T1 1000 KB

  • The Mailbox Size setting helps RemoteBot control the size of files sent to the mail server and prevents the mailbox from becoming full. Most ISPs limit the amount of space that your messages can occupy on their server, though some do not.  If there is no limit, change this setting to "Unlimited", otherwise change the setting to the limit set by your ISP.
