FTP Connection Speed Is Different For Different Regions.
Feb 23, 2007
I have a client in the US who uses FTP server based in The Planet datacenter. He complains that since several days he experiences a way low connection speed (just 5 kbytes/s), while the speed to other FTP servers is at average 75 kbytes/s. So th eproblem seems to be with this particular server.
However, I tried the speed from Ukraine (where I'm based in). It is at the level of 100 kbytes/s.
I have been working on this site only 1 hour so it is not finished. I just seem to be having really slow connection issues and want to verify this as my computer probably only has 1gb space left from the 300gb space I used so this could be causing the problem.
I recently swithced to HostGator.com Shared. I may need to go back to LunarPages.

I have a dedicated server, but i dont know how i can measure the bandwidth at specific time, the problem that i feal that my bandwidth is below what i requested...
what i mean with Bandwidth is not trfic, it is the connection speed at a moment (i.e. 50Mbps)
I am using their RVPS-3 plan (30$/mo, 1024 MB RAM, 40 GB drive, 500GB BW) and I am pretty unhappy about the connection and response speeds of their servers - especially during traffic peaks in the US. The server is sometimes so slow that I have to wait 5-10 seconds for a simple HTML page to load. :/
However the hardware itself works fine and for the money is IMO a very good deal. Also tech support is fine, I've had 3 requests so far and all were solved almost immediately (<20 mins). Although during the setup stage they changed the OS WITHOUT letting me know due to installation of an admin panel. They quickly changed it back when I asked them, but it's pretty strange anyway.
It really is a pity that the connection speed is so bad, because other than that I couldn't say a bad word about them. Now I have to consider moving somewhere else...
Can you conduct me to check the server speed by commands ( linux fedora )?
How to check connection speed of the server. i.e. 100 Mbps , 10 Mbps, etc.
I saw an message like this : " NIC Link is Up 10 Mbps Full Duplex", according to my knowledge, this is my server connection speed/ bandwidth is 10 Mbps, isn't it?
- Download/Upload files from/to my other servers very fast. - 1 GBps Port - Storage no more 250 GB . - 600 GB Traffic - access the server from the IP no domain - Cheaper always better : )
I am having some serious speed issues with my 1Gbit server at FDC. After opening a ticket, they've simply dismissed it as a server configuration problem. However I am convinced it isn't because certain ISP's (usually universities) get good speeds, usually 700kb/sec but the vast majority of my users get between 20-50 kb/sec and it's causing a lot of complaints.
Furthermore I have other servers with FDC which are 100mbit which perform better than my 1 Gbit one. There are no server bottlenecks (CPU/RAM/HDD), since I've closely monitored them (PRTG) and they aren't even heavily utilised. So the problem is with the network at some point.

where abouts you are downloading from, your ISP and net connection. Wget's from servers are also welcome as are traceroutes.
After reading tons and tons of messages on these forums... I have decided to get a VPS from KnownHost or SLhost.com.
KnownHost packages are a bit more expensive than SLHost (prepaying 6 months), however I am not looking to save a buck or two. I want the best speed for the money.
Can anyone tell me which of these two has the best performance (server performance and bandwidth performance) for the money?
KnownHost offers: 200GB Premium Bandwidth 256MB Guaranteed RAM Burstable to 768 MB 10 GB Disk Space $5 - Control Panel $402 per year with Control Panel
SLHost offers: 300 GB Bandwidth 384 Guaranteed RAM (Burstable unknown?) 20 GB Storage 4 IPs Free Control Panel $389.64 per year
Just trying to figure out which one would give me the best performance...
ive got a site (heavily mysql/php based) and ive installed e-accel and mod_gzip. im wondering if anyone knows any other ways to speed up the site ?. mysql has been optimized also.
its pretty quick loading now but i want tho get it running as fast as possible
I want ask How i know the Server Download speed from Rapidshare ? I have windows Dedicated Server with 1GB Port and when i download something from rapidshare its just 2MB/s , is that Normal ? and now i am thinking to Buy another one , How i can know the Download speed from rapidshare site ? I ask some Company about that but No one give me test or any thing like that ,
I recently setup WAMP on my dedicated, and I'm unsure if the slow download speed is from WAMP or something else I need to remove from the dedicated. Might just be the distance I am from the dedicated because it's hitting 88.74Mb/s down and 71.19Mb/s up from a local city.
I ordered my first vps and uploaded a 1 page web site with a few graphics. I browsed to the web site and it took longer than normal to load the entire site with all graphics.
Is there a way that I can test my vps account speed?
i have this couple of windows 2003 servers, colocated in data center, i need to improve download speeds to our customers who are at least 200ms away, the end user is not using download accelarator,
is there a way that any settings to be done on server so that per thread speed can be increased, this case the server and client both have the ability to make a connection at more than a megabit speed. i did some search but all the articles point to end user and not the server saying to increase tcp window size etc.. not sure if those articles relate to server side changes.
After reading a lot of good reviews on Softlayer around here, I was thinking about switching to them. They have some really good deals and I'm planning on getting one of their dual opterons, but I have a question about the processor speed in relation to database intense stuff (like a forum with a good number of users on at once, or a CMS).
I have the option of either going for a Dual Opteron 248 (2.2 gHz) or a 252 (2.6 gHz) which costs $50 more. My question: is the 252 really worth the extra money compared to the 248? All I have on my server is an IPB forum with 100-450+ users on at any given time, and a static site (soon to be converted to a CMS), and I'm thinking that RAM is more important than the processor for a database app like those (that, and hard drive speed). So I wanted to know if it would be better to go with the 248 and spend the money on more Ram and a SA SCSI 10k drive or two?
I just bought a hosting on one of the American servers providers, so I am interested how fast my site loads at different locations around the world. Mainly I am interested in US, Europe and Australia. I am from Europe but, my connection is not so great I want you input on how fast does it load on your end, and maybe how high ping is from your provider.
I hope there are some people who want to help me. I want post a link here because then people will complaint that I am advertising the site...
So if it is not a problem just post a message on this topic and I will send you a link true private message.
we have 9 rack each rack have 2 cisco switch 2950(1 for internet and 1 for private network) if we try to do a transfer files between two server we can't go over 1mbps, the same if we move the file from the web, every server nic is set to 100mbps the same for swith port, why we get a so slow speed?
Is there anywhere when you can check the performance of some kind of script on different VPS hardware?. For instance in a 128RAM, 256RAM,....... or in a P4 2.4Htz comparing to a Dual, etc.???
I know all this is affected but many factors but approximate result would be good interesting.
