I have some servers at He.net and non of them can pull a single file faster than 10 mbit/s from outside the He.net network.

Anyone have a server at He.net? Anyone have a test file on a very fast server and network?

How fast can you download this file?

ftp://ftp.uu.net/uumap.tar.Z

Please speed test this as well

http://mysql.he.net/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/mysql-4.1.0-alpha.tar.gz

They are not capped at 10mbit are they :P:D

Thomas Currie

No, they are not

Hmm, seems like He speeds are not so great.

the way u speed test ur server is not necessarily demonstrative.

concentrate on the total capacity. not a single file. how many files from different locations and networks have you tried? are they on the west coast, central or east coast? keep in mind that he.net is on the west coast and it's hard to get 10mbit+ over a single thread from across the country.

my he.net server has no speed problems at all. it does do a lot better on the west coast tho. it easily maxes out 100mbit on west coast networks such as xo, abovenet etc. single download thread from east is not that high but when i tried multiple threads (with prozilla) it often went up to 50mbit+. so the capacity is there.

and finally ru with he.net directly or a reseller? each reseller has their separate network and bandwidth commitments.

We have a 100Mbit uplink to AboveNet San Jose. AboveNet and HE have to have at least a gig between them, as I always pull a true 100Mbit when downloading from HE.

Here you go (I'd be curious to see if anyone else can beat this):

I would open a ticket with HE, definately seems like an issue, however it's more than 10mbit, so I don't think it's because you are capped at 10 :)

ClusterMania - You may want to have your NIC card swapped - If you're only getting 170 KB/s on the HE network, something may be wrong with your NIC card (or switch, or server).

-Josh

clustermania - i can get 10.23mb/sec on the mysql package and 8.6mb/sec on simpli's test file from my he server. so there's definitely a problem on your server.

Your server's network card isnt set to 10mb mode is it?

Yeah, I am trying to figure out what's wrong. I am not the only person getting these type of speeds. I can do server to server transfers at 100mbits.

What else could it be? I have had the provider open up a ticket.


media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active

27 seconds. 308 Kb/sec

I am only trying to figure out why I am getting slow speeds. My nick is set at auto detect and it's at 100mbits. I can't download a single file over 10 mbits outside the out network.

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=215353

You have a cogested newtork probably. Not HE.net, but your immediate upstream.

I have had a look at the bandwidth graph and they are not maxed out.

What equipment are they using? are they routing?

Make sure the switch is set to 100mbit for your port, you have a good ethernet cable, and there isn't a lot of electrical interfernce..

it might be a simple duplex mismatch issue

clustermania:

how did your provider respond regarding this issue? this is not a good place to solve ur problem as every1 is only "guessing". contact ur provider and tell them u r getting extremely poor and unacceptable speed and demand them 2 fix it asap. it is their responsiblity. if they cant then it means u r getting ripped off and its another issue.
