Programs like Wget and Wput

Hi guys!

Currently I have made a chat program that allows you to speak to anyone in the world in batch. Although, the current program I am using 'wget' and also 'wput' are a bit slow, mainly the wput. Are there any other batch-friendly programs like that which allow me to download files and upload files at a faster rate than these do?

If so, I would be very appreciative. Also, please don't do the normal thing and be like: "Geez! You shouldn't be making that stuff in batch." Cause really I don't care. It is a bit of fun.

Thanks in Advance!

~ Matt

Does wput need to log into the remote connection that you are using?

Maybe that is where the delay is...

Are you using FTP servers to connect to?

Currently I am using a free ftp, netftp from 000webhost.com

Do you have any other ones that might be faster?

You can host one on your computer.

Problem with that is I would most likely have to keep my computer on for this, so that it out of the question.

You know how online games get and send info really quick so they can position people? Is it possible to have that speed via a batch file? I know I am being a bit hopeful but that would be amazing.

Thanks

Online games don't use plain old FTP, and they have fast dedicated servers for the game, and quick connections to the internet.

You'd need some server that remains logged in, to eliminate that login delay, and I'm not sure FTP will provide a quick response even if you use a binary and high level language.

Where would I find a server like this? Would it cost a lot?

Thanks for your so far

You're looking for what is called a Dedicated Server.

Low-end machines start at around $50 a month and go up from there. I've got one that runs me $230 a month.

Between that host and using FTP for the communication that is pretty much your bottle neck. Free webhosts are going to give you all kinds of dedicated bandwidth.

It's not using wput and wget, but what about using an irc server? If you can figure out how to communicate in batch, they would eliminate the lag.
