Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Download Speeds

[WoodShedd]

What sort of download speeds do you get to your server. (ie downloading a file from a remote location to your server. ftp, wget...)

My speeds are usually between 130-220K/s; slower than I would expect from a dedicated server.

Is it slow? I have nothing to compare it to- what sort of speeds do you all experience?

thanks for any input.

It really all depends on the connection that you have at your location there. The dedicated server could be on a 100mbit connection, but your cable provider probably caps you at 1.5mbps which equals approx 180K per sec.

It's really hard to test unless your on a fast connection. For instance I am on a 5mbit adsl line and always max out on my server at approx 580k per sec.

So if you would like I can test your box speed, drop me a e-mail if you would like..

[WoodShedd]

Thanks, Goose. I am not speaking of downloading a file from my server to my home computer.

I am speaking of downloading a file with my server; No home connection is involved. (My home connection is 28.8 so downloading with it is pretty well useless.

Hmm, is there a way to check max throughput of my Cogent line?

[WoodShedd]

Why is my speed so slow compared to all of yours.

I'm at exodus.

[ClusterMania]

Hmm, maybe you should try again. Isn't exodus a ton more expensive than Cogent?

Hmm, my numbers not always the same. Is there a way to do it ten times and get the average?

Hmmm... this seems to confirm what was said elsewhere... fdc servers seem to be fast either coming in or going out. Never both.

Rackshack & eservers both seem stable, and quick enough. That test was done in the morning?

I don't think the speed difference had anything to do with which program I used, I just tried using both for the hell of it When the server I just ordered from Webreseller.net gets setup I'll try it from there too.
