Very Slow Download of 3.11 - Beta2?

[-Archmage-]

I've been getting a speed of around 100KB/s.
Is something wrong with the server?
Speedtest.net shows my internet is fine.

Just recently others downloaded , which I think was pretty normal speed.

I just downloaded it (http://megaglest.org/3-11-beta2.html) and average speed was 1MiB/s.

These downloads are currently hosted at snapshots.megaglest.org (I'm not sure that's the best place - GitHub's CDN may be better suited).

Snapshot downloads are currently bandwidth limited to 1 MB/s (but not 100 KB/s).

Downloading 1 Megabyte / second means 60 MB / min, which is ~ 3,5 GB / hour.

Is this too slow?

Put differently, if ~10 people downloaded this file at the same time the servers' bandwidth would almost get saturated:
10 x (1 MB/s x 8) = 10 x 8 Megabit/s = 80 Mbps

And this server hosts a lot more sites and files which may get simultaneous downloads.

I'd be OK with increasing this to 2 MB/s but more could be harmful.

I would suggest putting up mirrors and mentioning the limit next to the download link.

1MB/s download would be acceptable, but that's not what I'm getting.

Actually I was wrong, there's no bandwidth limiting in place on snapshots at this time.

I just downloaded a file at ~5.5 MBytes/s which basically matches the limit of my line (50 Mbit/s). But that's from Germany to Germany. Germany to USA may be different. However, a limitation on your upstream should be considered, too (and first of all).
