Download Speed Problem

[larrytalbot]

Download speed looks like it's back to normal (for now). I'll let you if that changes again.

My speeds still at around 20 min per file

It's been off and on for speed on transfers at this time, (I've  even run into it, timing out on some flie transfers) till the server has everything over on it.

Sorry guys,
there's nothing we can do for you for now until Capt finalizes things.

Will investigate this now and get back to you on this.

Unable to notice any problems on server side guys but I have enabled a network monitoring tool to monitor and graph the current output of the network card.

If you experience any slow down can you please post here with a date and time please so can check logs.

Thanks Capt.
I sure as heck hope it's not another wonky HD on the server!  Two of them is more than enough!

I've been having this issue again just within the last few days. Sometimes it will say a book will download in a few hours and the download usually fails, then sometimes it takes just a few minutes and all goes normally. Other sites work fine and at normal download speeds, so I know it isn't a connection issue. Did anyone ever figure out what the problem was?

I don't recall for sure but I suspect it's the package we are under with our server provider.
We're paying a flat rate for unlimited bandwidth - but we do share the provider's bandwidth with other sites.  I think sharing as well as general net traffic can sometimes result is poor speeds on the site.  It's the trade-off for having a set price each month instead of better speeds but variable server bills based on bandwidth.  The other bonus to our choice is we don't have to cap download speeds or total files per a month like in the old GAC days.  *shudder*

We always suggest trying the same file at a different time and seeing if it's better.
