How can you do this? & what is a good transfer rate?

?? KBs

I don't think there is a way to check this 100%. But try to
download a large file from Sunsite or some other FTP site
with a lot of bandwith. I think 250-300 kB would be a good
transfer rate (2-2,5 Mbits).

ftp.uu.net

ftp.newaol.com

Other sites such as sunsite (and mirrors), kernel.org..

Again, this is just a good way to see how fast your server can burst while downloading. I would say anything over 500 KB/sec is decent. I have boxes where it would burst to about 50 megabits (awesome).

How can I check the ftp rate of server. In India bandwith is a big problem. Can I check out from anywebsite or is there any tool to test from browser. Like we test the response time of one IP from diff countries from visualroute. Please let me know.

Well what you can do is download a 1000MB file or download linux using your server to download it


wget http://url.to/linux.zip

and at the end it shows you how long it took to download a 600 MB file....

When i was moving a site, i used the server to download a 800 MB Tar file and it took 23 Seconds (or 32 i fergot).

Ok, my server at RACKSHACK: (wget from 2 servers I own - 1 from dialtone.com and tera-byte.com)

ETA: 3:14 13.35/ 21.14 MB 41.96 kB/s


This is my transfer rate for 3 days now. What do you think about this speed? They give 300 gig with this speed!! :angry:
