THIS IS A THREAD REPOST. I AM GOING TO RUN ADDITIONAL TESTS. PLEASE READ BELOW; I'm going to attempt to decrease the time it takes to download files from the server. One of the steps I will be making to do this is to try moving the FastDL to a faster server if I find that players are not downloading files as fast as their connection allows. This will help reduce the large initial download for the server and any subsequent downloads after that to download additional maps, new admin skins as they are added, etc. Please provide me with the following data to help me test the current and potentially new Fast Download server: Please post that information in kiloBytes per second. IE, Chrome, and FireFox uses this measurement by default. For example, I get: FastDL #1: http://plaguefest.com/cstrike/maps/mg_n64_goldeneye_v2.bsp.bz2 FastDL #2: http://69.162.109.180/test/mg_n64_goldeneye_v2.bsp.bz2 Additionally, please run a speedtest at speedtest.net Thanks.
FastDL #1: Minimum Speed:1.4 mbs Maximum Speed:2.0 Mbs FastDL #2: Minimum Speed:190 kbs Maximum Speed:350 kbs SpeedTest: 10-15 mbs I hate sharing using 3 comps on the same network :/
FastDL #1: Avg speed: 600kbs FastDL #2: Avg speed: 450-550 kbs SpeedTest: 17.96mbs - newyork, newyork, 25 ping
Fast DL #1: 2700 KB/s Fast DL #2: maxed at 250 KB/s and fell to ~150 KB/s to ~200 KB/s No idea why the box was so much slower for me. Averaged 180 KB/s the entire download. Speedtest: 23.72mbps
Just tried it again now 2.5 hours later and it's still slow as tits. It's constantly prioritizing SRCDS? Would it then be pointless for me to continue to try #2 at different times? :geek:
Once server load decreases it should be better. It would probably be really good on the new box, actually... Considering it's not under much load.
