      <title>Transfer Rate issue on Vmware vCenter Converter</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/thread/619942</link>
      <description>&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyStart:803003d9-cd69-4810-99f9-928baee51887] --&gt;&lt;div class="jive-rendered-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hi All,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am trying to convert a VM from AWS to our vCenter. I have several VMs that are Centos, Ubuntu, Windows 2012 R2, Windows 2008 etc. When i start convertion for Centos VMs, the speed is about 8 MB/s. But, when i try to convert a Windows VM, the speed is around 500 kb/s. The total speed between two sites is 100 Mbps. I have 1 TB Windows Machine, that's why this speed is a bit slow. Windows Machines are using 1 Gbit Network adapter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What i did for resolving that issue;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-I have checked the pre-requisities for Windows VMs and i did but the speed is still the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Disabled anti-virus program (ESET). It was deleted in one of the Windows Machines but speed was the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Turned-off UAC&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Turned-off Firewall&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Disabled SSL Encryption from converter-worker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Increased the value in the Number of Data Connections in Converter&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The speed is still slow for Windows based machines. I don't think that slow issue is related to network between two sites. Because i can see normal speeds for Centos Machines. Is there anyone who faced this kind of slow convertion issue ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:803003d9-cd69-4810-99f9-928baee51887] --&gt;</description>

      <title>Previous versions of Converter before 6.2.0.1 are unavailable for download</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/thread/618418</link>

A few days ago when I go to the Download Product link for Converter Standalone there were 3 available options. Now, as of this past Friday, if you select anything other than 6.2 the page says the Binaries are missing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a problem given the fact that I can't seem to get 6.2 to even install properly. There are other posts in this Forum with the same issue attempting to install 6.2. I've seen mention that using version 6.0 works with no problems. But of course, 6.0 is now missing from download link.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ugggh&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:b6d96f64-b8b6-42fa-ae3b-fe35ea70dcc6] --&gt;</description>

Security has been enhanced in Converter 5.0 by encrypting the data transfer. Unfortunately this has caused a more severe performance degradation than expected. &lt;br/&gt;Switching off SSL encryption is a way to work around this issue. Here is how it is done:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Open the converter-worker.xml configuration file. It is located in "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone" folder for Windows Vista or newer or in "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone" for older Windows versions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Set the key Config/nfc/useSsl to false and save the configuration file.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Restart "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Worker" service.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I.e. it should look like:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!--[CodeBlockStart:64c489ff-bdc2-423f-89cf-818dfb7415af][excluded]--&gt;&lt;pre class="xml" name="code"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; ...
