    Do me a favor: How fast is it?

    Hi,

    my website used to pretty fast to people living in other than North America. But recently, some friends who live in Europe told me it takes them ~30 seconds to access the website.

    Can you do me a favor, check how fast is it? http://www.Panda-Greatwall.com (which is hosted by BGFweb.com). If it is confirmed slow, I will consider changing to another hosting company.

    thank you!

    Loaded OK from Ukraine (not a fast link, though).

    Consider putting up a big file and placing a link here, so that people could test download speeds.

    thank you for your nice help. Yes, please test the downloading speed if you want.

    Here's a link to a famouse Chinese classical music which is not protected by copyrights any more:

    Hope you'll like it.

    thanks again.

    cheers,

    Impressive - this download easily fills out my 10Mbit link. I'm at Savvis, as I said.
