Hello,

We are wondering what the download speed is from your dedicated server(s) at burst.net

We allways could download files with 400kb/s and more but since a few weeks we can't get more then 25kb/s with a single thread and 40kb/s tops with more threads(download accelerator). It looks like we are capped at 40kb/s but I only say that it looks that way but let's not jump to conclusions.

I want to know what other peoples download speeds are (from their own dedicated at burst.net) before I go and complain about it. :bawling:

Thank you!
Domenico

Post a file up for download and I can tell you what I get for a download speed on it.

-Brendan

It's allready tested by different people worldwide. It's the same everywhere so now I need to know if others have the same with their dedicated at burst.net

Thank you.
Domenico

i think theres been like a million posts like this before...:yawn:

Give me a few minutes and I will post a file up for you to download from my server...

Michael

Ok, this is on a Burst.net server...

http://66.197.134.225/test_download.zip it is 598k that should be big enough to test with and small enough not to be bothersome...

Hope that helps.

EDIT: If you need the file bigger let me know...


Michael

EDIT: I made the filesize bigger. It is now: 2152 k

It was pretty small so I couldnt really tell but I was getting several hundred k/sec over our connection here.

-Brendan

It was too small, but it loaded in less than a second for me (I'm behind a 100MBit connection) .

Maybe loading something of 10MB would give a better benchmark.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for trying to help me out here.
Maybe the file is to smal to be accurate but it seems I get the same speed as on our server.
I see that others get higher speeds so my guess so far is that it is because of AT&T having problems like Sean from Burst said in another thread.

From the Netherlands we get to New York with @home and from new York to burst.net is done by AT&T now while when we got the high speeds the connection from new York till Burst.net was done by Sprint.

I want to be connected from New York till Burst.net by SPRINT because it seems they have the better connection there for me.

Domenico

Well give me a second and I will make it 2 megs. That should be large enough... :)


Michael

Ok the file is now 2152 k....

I would think that has got to be long enough...

Let me know...

Michael

http://66.197.134.225/test_download.zip

162kbps for me.

I averaged 54kb per sec on DSL.

But then again. My ISP stinks.....

Michael

leveled out at about the same for me.

-Brendan

Hmmm, not more then 24kbps :(

I can easily get 700 kbps with my connection so that is not the bottleneck. I think AT&T is screwing up and I will complain about it at burst.net

I'm used to access the server with 400kbps and the last weeks only with 25kbps. The CAP has got to go don't you think?

Domenico

I got 264 KB/s using Road Runner cable.

I got about 200k from home.

I got about 156 k from school

My friend got a few k from his work connection

The speed looks pretty darn good

Domenico:

We do not have anything capped.

Also, our MCI/Worldcom line is going live today or tomorrow, so that will make things even faster....so give it until then, an then get back to us if you still have this problem.

That would be great Sean.
I never said you capped anything but maybe AT&T does. How can you explain the speed drop from 400kbps to 40kbps then?

I hope that when the MCI/Worldcom line goes live everything will be normal again because the packet loss for the last days does make it difficult to upload to our server and more.

I will get back to you when everything stays the same.
btw. I just wanted to know what others had for download speeds from their server at burst.net to compare.

Thank you,
Domenico

145K/s on my DSL(max my line will go)

80 average on my line

it fluctuated betweek 40 and 80kb on my dsl which i average 150kb elsewhere.

http://www.exampledomain.net/test_download.zip

It's about 400kb/sec now...

Ouch! Never went above 17K/s for me on a 300K/s down cable ( formerly @home ) connection. Something is definately wrong.

Just tested again, 239kb/sec ...

I hit between 197-380 with it...

AT&T Broadband in the southeast USA... Hope this helps any

I seem to be connecting to them through worldcomm/uunet so the new connection must be up now.

If that is the case my download speed should go up again but that still isn't the case :(

do us a favour and download another file from another site...see if ur download speed still is the same...if it is then its ur connection man....

What are you saying here?
I'm not a newbie!

I get 700kbps from other sites easily.
There is nothing wrong wih my connection but it could be the connection from me to the server and that is exactly what I'm trying to find out here. :mad:

I see this is your second post and if your postings continue to be of this quality you are the only one that could really do us all a favour and that is to stop posting.

Read the thread before making any comments.

Thank you,
Domenico

Tried agin.. getting 280+.

We are getting 354kps through their worldcom connection.

I peaked at around 800 KB/s. Not too bad :)

Trace complete.

Our connection to burst.net goes as you can see from the Netherlands to New York to Washington and then back to New York again and then to Middletown(burst.net).

It seems that something has changed at AT&T or @home a couple of weeks ago.
Bad luck for us I guess because there is really nothing anyone can do about it :(
Well, they could drop some more lines in the ocean offcourse :)

Any Europeans tried to download the file because I see the Americans have a very good connection to the burst.net servers.

Domenico

As of a few minutes ago:

http://www.exampledomain.net is no longer on a burst.net server. I have moved it to a server at Ventures Online..

So as of now if you want to download the file from burst.net to test the speed you can download it from here:
http://66.197.134.225/test_download.zip

I have edited the posts above to reflect accordingly

If you want to download the file from VO to test the spead you can download it here:
http://www.exampledomain.net/test_download.zip

Currently through my DSL I am getting about 54k from burst.net and 36k from VO...

Remember though my DSL stinks... That is why my connections are so low..

Nice connection you have there :rolleyes:

ROFL

Burst.net gets faster connections through MCI-Worldcom and Verizon the week we decide to move everything over to VO..

Aint that life... :)

Fine, here are some new results using wget from my linux box:

burst : 11:47:01 (1.34 MB/s) - `test_download.zip' saved [2204161/2204161]

vo: 11:48:52 (381.58 KB/s) - `test_download.zip.2' saved [2204161/2204161]

vo must be a little slower today but burst is rocking

OK, wget is faster actually. 1.88 MB/sec here.

I can go on forever so i'll leave it at that :)

Burst is pretty much smokin VO from here.
