Hi all

I would be appreciated if everyone could post their download speed for the following link:

http://205.161.97.189/test.zip

I am getting roughly 400- 500 KB/s from two locations and traceroute appears to be okay too.

Just under 16mbps, not too shabby :D

Excellent ping too :)

The IP is located at Virginia (East Coast) so I would guess downloading from east coast will be much faster. Here are two resuls:

Very nice (up to 35Mbps)! Which brings me to my question, I thought ardentcomm has data centers only in the west coast? Do you happen to know the list of their datacenters?

cheers,

I think they have 29 POPs. But they told me to send servers to Virginia.

Ardent Communications Operations Center
6861 Elm Street, Third Floor
McLean, Virginia 22101

They only have manned colocation in Virginia. The rest is unamanned.

From box hosted at visuallink.com i hadn't had enough quota ... to dl the whole file, but it was lightning fast .... the mb's just ran down the screen ;o)

greets

Nice speeds...I'm on a DSL line and usually get around 70KB/s....your file evened out at about 82KB, so thats better than I normally get.

Download started at 400 kb/s and then it went down to 75 kb/s. Rest of the download remained at 75 kb/s (more or less).

Not bad, but not really fast. I'm on 4Mbps cable and my average speed is around 400 kb/s, so 75 is not much.

Maybe because I live in Belgium, Europe?

Could anyone give me the command to type in the command line, in order to download the above file?

login to shell and simply type:


wget http://205.161.97.189/test.zip

To do this you can either have a shared hosting account w/ ssh or a dedicated server. (must be linux)

and have wget installed :D btw here's my results from my colorado boxen:
