I've two shared hosting accounts, one is hostgator and other is godaddy.
I've uploaded a file (.flv) on hostgator and same file on godaddy.
here a link to both
Hostgator flv
Goddady flv
Now i am use a Download manager " free download manager" to download files
The hostgator file downloads at 17-35kb/s
The godaddy file downloads at 200kb/s
I am using 2Mbps dsl.
Also my hostgator cpanel loads slow. and other files are downloads at very low max 40kb/s.
What are the issues. I've contacted hostgator support and they say that every thing is ok on their end.
I have to stream videos on hostgator but the speed is too slow. and it buffers alot.

I ask some Company about that but No one give me test or any thing like that ,
We have several site that are downloading. how may i limit this site limit bw,omit speed download,limit connection and ... ecause this sites have very download and ...
The problem is that HTTP file download speed is nearly 10 times lower than FTP download speed. What could be limiting it? It's about 7Mb for FTP and 70-100Kb for HTTP. Strangely, download speed is OK when browsing from the server itself (e.g. via RDP)
I have just gotten a new server and the ping results were pretty fine. However, when it comes to the download speed its horrible. What could be the issue?
If you met any problems with downloading from Odin servers (autoinstall.plesk.com or autoinstall-win.pp.parallels.com) - please describe this problem briefly and specify geographic location (country, city) of your Plesk server.
I've been trying in vain to find out how to download files from online sites directly to my server hosted with Siteground. Basically, I figure why bother downloading to my local HDD when I back everything up on my online server anyway.
I know this classes as a server to server file transfer but I want to download things like software, particularly Linux distros, and archive them directly on my server. I just can't think how to word it any other way. I use my browser and click the download link and it asks me to save it to my local HDD but instead I'd like to save it to my backup server bypassing my local comp totally.
Currently Siteground give me "unlimited" bandwidth and "unlimited" storage space, overselling obviously but now I want to use some of my space. My home upload speed it 20kb on average so this is why I'd rather upload/download/save interesting software etc onto my backup server.
I've looked briefly at WGET and CURL but it looks too complicated. I'd just like to be able to FTP all my 'normal' downloads right onto my server. I'd use an intermediary service for this as well as this backup is for non-private files only, if only I knew how to word the concept.
I just don't know how to search for the right tools or whatever for what I want to do.
I just want to add a "save to my server" option to my normal download dialog for want of a better description.
I'm starting a file download site. I've done a lot of research and I'm currently planning a head for growth and scaling. Looking to serve around 250-500 thousand 5MB files a day.
I would like some input from people that KNOW what they are talking about, hopefully people that have hosted/ran similar sites.
The main question I need answered is what will be the first bottle neck for a single download server will run into when delivering the following.
File size = 10MB. Number of downloads = As many 1.2mbit download streams as possible.
Am I correct in assuming the bottle neck will be the HD's here? So would I be right in assuming this could handle around 200 concurrent downloads @ 1.2mbit(250mbit)?
I'm running a remote dl site where user will request a file from various file sharing site like rapidshare and megaupload, and allow it to stream and dl. Few days ago everything was normal, but since yesterday all rar files download have corrupt name and sizes but when trying to extract it seems to be corrupted, zip files are running fine though.
It's on a FDC Servers 1gbit connection with a 100mbit guarantee, their largest plan. I've used this plan (though with another server) before to push 241mbit/sec so there should be plenty of bandwidth.
The downloads will be anywhere from a few megabytes to CD sized downloads so there might be quite a bit of large files, mostly files will be around 20-50 megabytes though.
Basically I'd like a sort of rapidshare setup with two types of members, premium and non-premium.
Non-premium members should be limited to a certain speed across all connections but not necessarily limited to one connection only since Asia and Europe traffic have a hard time getting really good speeds without using several connections.
But I'd still like to be able to limit them at 4 connections or so, premium members should just be limited at some other value, that part shouldn't be the problem.
Currently I can limit the speed through the php script that checks if a user is premium but that limit only works per connection and not across all connections.
I'm looking for a software configuration setup, httpd etc. Hardware upgrade suggestions are also welcome for the future.
So far I'm thinking setting up two virtual hosts, one for premium and one for non-premium and then use mod_limitipconn.c. But maybe there's a better way without using apache?
When using a download manager to download stuff from server, download manager detects server unable to support resume and parallel downloads, is there a way to set the server to allow it?
to getting a second server, specifically for downloads for my site. Without going into too much detail, my website requires that I get a separate server for downloads, and another for the webserver.
I've already gone ahead and configured the server I want; however, I'm trying to do something different from what I'm used to. I'd like to use Lighttpd, instead of apache, as well as not having cPanel installed on the server. I'd still have cPanel and Apache on my regular webserver, but I'd rather keep my download server relatively clean.
So, once I get my server, and I install Lighttpd, how do I go about setting up everything so that my two servers can communicate? I'd like the download server to be something like: download.mydomain.com , so would I have to set up an A Hostname on my webserver?
I have a website, where i provide streaming videos. Recently i read somewhere that, streaming video or audio files increases server load a loot. Is providing direct download to files is a better option than streaming videos? Please let me know.
Does anyone know of a "Windows Server 2003 Standard" download link? It seems that Microsoft has taken this OFF their 2003 download page, or has somehow "hidden" the link to only show the newer "2008" links (and the updates to 2003).
The trial software link here ...
[url]
...works for 2003 to begin the download process, but in the end no download URL is provided.
Recently our network of servers all started to prematurely disconnect in middle of data download. This can be download of pictures or files.
Eg: [url]
You'll notice on first go it only downloads +-5% of the images. Then you gotta keep pressing F5 many times for images to complete downloading.
Having attempted many solutions to correct this (so that it downloads data 100%), I though I ask on forums since there's always somewhere here that knows more then admins.
Would you please share any solutions that would solve this challange? Or any guidence on what to adjust.
SErvers specs: Linux 2.6 kernel (latest) Apache 2.0
My server (serving hosting) constantly keeps cutting out data download of files or pictures. So pictures usually load only 10%, then you need to keep pressing refresh to see whole picture.
As for downloads, I tested with a 8MB file. I downloaded with typical firefox browser and 1st time it claimed it finished downloading at 3MB mark. Second time at 1MB mark.
I have no idea how to fix this. Any solutions as to what to change or adjust in order to prevent this from happening?
Additional notes:
Server only supports php/static pages. It's limited to 150Mbits, and constantly wants to do more. But I can't lift now due to financial concerns.

What would be best method to test quality of server?For example,how site loads,do they load at all,speed of loading,etc.
What bothers me some of my site which i host on my servers start to lose traffic a lot lately.It could be beacuse of summer slowdown,but i simply cant belive in that.
Maybe server have a downtime or server have bad hardware router which doesnt accept all traffic.In shortly i belive something is wrong.So please tell me how do i do deep scan/check of all my servers.
