Test Files
Jul 5, 2007
I decided this probably belongs in its own thread. It's also posted in Colo Suggestions/Help. Maybe mods can remove it there?
I think it'd be nice to have a thread with test files from a bunch of different colo providers. In particular I'm looking for ColoPronto and Colo4Dallas, but hopefully people will post from data centers all over to help others that are shopping around as well.
I have tested the Colostore test file[url] from a few connections I readily have access to.
My home Comcast cable connection downloads at about 480kbps.
My work T1 connections downloads about the same. But my works Comcast cable connection can only download it at about 40kbps, and it takes well over an hour to download.
Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be?
Also, does anyone know where I can find a test file for ColoPronto and Colo4Dallas?
Anyone willing to post one for me if there are none available from the DC? I would really like to test speeds.

I am in Europe, and during this week I´ve been doing some speed tests with the files most providers have on their website or they gave me the link here.
I am using a DSL 25Mpbs net connection for the tests.
Here some results from just 3 providers:
FDC (Chicago) - 250k
iWEB (Canada) - 1.2MB
Take2Hosting (San Jose, California) - 1.4MB
My point is, does these speed test file are of any use to have
an idea what speed you can expect with the servers?
The way I see it ,there´s so many variables (shared and how many shared servers for port,
your location, peak hours traffic, etc).
So how does this tests influence you to go for one provide, instead of another?

Is there a simple windows based tool that we can test two websites on two different VPSs?
Basically just load and what not, but some of the tools we have found are a bit intimidating.. We are just looking for something easy to setup and use.

I have 2 VPS in 2 differents networks. One of these 2 VPS have a WHM/Cpanel load time very high to me. I already contact with my hostiing company support and I told the problem. Support saied that the problem is with my ISP connection. I agree that is possible my ISP issue, but I already test with 3 ISP connections diferents.
So I would like a help to test it. I am creating 2 dummys reseller accounts in my 2 VPSs and I inform the WHM login details here. So I would like that you access both WHMs and try to create a new account and tell me the time to finish the creation process.
From my end one account takes around 90 sec and other take onlu 13 sec.
how much time do you give in creation account on the followinf 2 dummys accounts?

I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.
God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!
So...
Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)
200 odd files which total to 25 GB
1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)
I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.

I just installed Squid V3. I set up putty to ssh socks proxy to my vps that I installed squid on.
Here is a snippet of my cache.logs, but there is no cache log of websites I have visited. The access.log is empty.
How to I tell if squid is working?

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.
It's located in Kansas city, MO.

Can a few people try to download the test file in [url] and tell me what speeds you get and from which location?
I'm comparing UK2 and RapidSwitch. I'm interested to know the d/l speeds from East/West coast USA, Asia, Australia. I'm assuming Europe would be fast.

We are a small development team mostly coding in php/mysql as an unpaid hobby. Anyways yesterday our test server had hardware problems and to get a decent new one would be $300. Well this seems a lot to ask for someone that does get any compensation for it. So we are looking for some cheap way of providing a test server. We need at least a way that provides svn, apache w/ php and mysql. We tried to use the webserver, but the head dev didnt like the idea. Any suggestions?
The three devs are in charge of wcreplays.com .

I noticed that lately there are tons of cheap vps offers.
Before you pay for it ahead for next 5 years, test it.
From my experience with vpses going years back i do it this way.
Install Webmin if you do not have it.
Set it for https and MCS.Linux Them, one with all graphics.
Run WHT benchmark.
If you get a score 60+ great, test several times (day, night etc.).
Login into Webmin in https mode.
Go to others and click on System and Server Status.
If you get a full update under 8 sec that is good.
Reload few times and time it again.
In my opinion you are testing connectivity as well and not
only vps itself.
Otherwise i think you will be looking for another vps soon.

I've tried googling, searching on webhosting talk for 100meg test file, speed test for linux server, ect.. ect.. ect.. and I cant seem to find a damn thing.
Anyone have a recommendation for a place to download a 100mb test file to test out my speed? I'm looking for a server on a gig line.

How do I test to see if I am getting the bandwidth I am signed up for?
Right now I have a vps with futurehosting.biz IP: 75.126.49.194.
On their advertisements they say everyone will be on a 100mbit port.
However, I have never gotten speeds above 10mbit UNLESS I am downloading from another machine in the same datacenter:
dallas.futurehosting. biz/test100.zip*
When I try downloading from a machine outside the same building such as:
www .futurehosting.biz/test100.zip* (Their Chicago DC)
I never, ever get speeds over 10 mbit outside the same DC.
I opened up a ticket regarding this, and all they say over at future hosting is that Virtuozzo confirms it's a 100mbit link, and that other users in the node may be using the bandwidth at the same time.
The only explanation I can think of is that it truly is a 100mbit port, but is capped to 10mbit once it goes outside the datacenter. If this is the case, they should clearly state this in their advertisement. Or is this a common practice with VPS hosts?
* Links mangled because of the 5 post requirement....

I'm behind the firewall on a public computer and all online port scan tests I've tried show that ALL ports on a computer I'm using are closed. Is this possible? I've been previously succesfully uploaded some files through cpanelproxy.net to get access to my site, for which opened port 80 was needed.

Anyone have a good download test in chicago other then FDC's?
I was told i was upgraded to a 1GBPS port for free by my host(from a 10mbit) which is sort of weird, i want to confirm. at this time FDC's 100MB file takes me about 3 seconds to download and downloads at 44.7M/s.
the file is too small for me to try and pull 1gbit, by that speed i have a 500mbit line odviosely but i want to test against something outside of FDC.

Anyone got a 100mbit server at corenetworks that I could speed test from? The test file that I got from corenetworks was only able to give me about 500KB/sec so I think their server might only be 10mbit.

Just moved to a 1and1 managed server in which FastCGI is enabled.
But I'm having problems getting Movable Type to run under fastcgi - which has never been a problem before, even on shared hosts.
Is there a 'hello world'-type test for fastcgi - so I can check if it is enabled?

What download speed do you get
I have 100MB/Sec port and normally always get around 500-600kbps download speed with DedicatedNOW but today I am only getting around 170kbps
I have a 10mb connection and when downloading file from here [url]I get 1.2MB/sec download speed
I asked support to confirm if I had 100MB/sec port and got a reply with:
"Your server is on a 100mbps port:
-bash-3.2# ethtool eth0 |grep Speed:
Speed: 100Mb/s
-bash-3.2#"
Sounds like a local issue. I am able to download at:
Response: 226-File successfully transferred
Response: 226 32.674 seconds (measured here), 6.12 Mbytes per second

I'd like to install xen vps system to test out instead of paying Virtuozzo $1k+ for licensing.
I found this article:
[url]
I installed this on Centos 5 server. I got one tiny problem now:
[root@server ~]# virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 304, in ?
main()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 224, in main
import gtk
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 76, in ?
_init()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 64, in _init
_gtk.init_check()
RuntimeError: could not open display
Also, that tutorial doesn't explain how to create actual vps
Anyone care to explain? Isn't there some web gui available for xen too?
