Download speed test from our server

My retry was 1880kb/sec. Fast enough I couldn't take a screenshot. I'd say it made a difference.
Saw Merc's high "score" just after I posted, so I tried again. Just a shade faster 48s, but more volitility: 450-530KBps.
And now I have to go deal with that quickly multiplying rodent infestation I have on my harddrive ... out you darn blue squirrels!

I would say that about 170KB/S would be my normal DL speed. I have actually tested the BW and I get close enough to not complain. However, it is highly variable. I've had upto 800+KB/s but not with a single connection, but rather using a DL accelerator or a P2P program. In general, I normally don't pay that much attention to the speed, and when I get slow speeds, I have always assumed that the DL is server limited, rather than a problem at my end: that assumption invariably saves brain cells.

I just downloaded it at 6:39AM EST at ~825k/sec on my Comcast 6Mbit line.

The changes must have worked. I'm getting about 800KB/sec steady which is around the highest I can get on my connection from anywhere.

I didn't test when it was slow, but did just now (decided to blow the 25 MB of data xfr). It is fast!
I use a download manager these days because my speeds and reliability suck. I never have gotten the 384 kb I'm paying for. The best I've seen so far is speeds that momentarily touch 40 KB; more typical is 30 - 32 KB.
This squirrel fella is fast. I don;t know if the download mangler (FDM - Free Download Mangler) lies, but I saw it touch 105 KB once (that's 840 kb, more than twice my rated speed), hover around 75 KB and 52 KB for a few seconds, and stay pretty consistently at 41-42 KB. This is the absolute best speeds I've seen so far with this ISP. Total time = 9 min 15 secs (555 secs).
I really, really miss a fast connection.

Downloading the image, I peaked at 89KB/s and quickly dropped to 62KB/s for most of the download. At the very end, it hit 66KB/s. As a test, I uploaded the image to hlmcompany.com. My FTP upload speed was 34-35KB/s. Then, my download from hlmcompany.com (which is a shared server in Pennsylvania with a current load of .50) started at 201KB/s, dropping for a brief moment to a low of 181KB/s, and finally ending at 191KB/s. My cable ISP claims speeds "up to 12Mbps".

Storage is cool
I only get around 20-25KB/s at the moment. It used to be around 600KB/s after the problems was fixed. :|

70KB/s....not bad.

It's OK, I got around 380KB/s when I tried now.
