I finally got my server up. icon_smile.gif

But speeds seem quite... low.

My bandwidth is precious - Removed.

Everbody care to post their download speeds on that file and your location?

Mine is averaging around 130kb/s
London, UK

It's pretty low..

Submitted a ticket assuming this is not normal here.

Thanks!

Maxed at 650Kb/sec to my home cable connection and averaged around 600kb/sec. I would guess it is your route going to the UK. I am nto sure what sort of speeds you normally expect from the US.

I kept trying, and a few moments ago I achieved 440 Kb/s + on the same wireless BlueYonder cable line. This is better. But am curious as to why not before. Support contacted back saying - make sure it's not the ISP. But I'm quite sure it wasn't.

Everything seems speedy now so I'll remove the file which is eating some precious bandwidth. icon_biggrin.gif

It may have just been a random routing issue with the internet. The transatlantic routes get screwed up sometimes and cause all sorts of trouble. Who knows somebody may have accidently cut a cable somewhere and it was taking a different route then normal.

Maybe this was just one of EV1's many messy routes?

I have to say, network is really solid.

But download speeds from a few of the many locations I've tried/asked others to do, were not so good at around 100 - 150kb/s only. I do think perhaps some routes are are clearly not as good as the rest.
