whats wrong with the server speed, I have road runner cable,runs at about 12 mb, when I download from here lately, it runs at 40 kbps. Ive tested my speed at 6 diff. places and it runs great there. just wondering if the server speed has been slowed down or something??? thanks.

Iwent back thru my files and I have some downloads from here that top out at 1.5 mbps and then to start getting 40 to50 kbps was just odd to me.

My 50th of a dollar: It was slow yesterday (50KB/Sec) but seems to be back to normal, if not better (330KB/Sec), today. Beats dial-up either way and you can't complain about the price.

If people would stop downloading all the libraries for a course in myzip DL speeds would be ALOT faster....what I mean is people are downloading everything regardless if they have it installed already or not.

EXP:ECT a change very soon, like today myzip will be going to 60 MB

Seemed better today. Thanks Kevin. I don't think many files should be over 60 MB anyway.

I could not agree more.....

Also I tested soemthing this week in preperation for the new servers. I wanted to find out exactly how much bandwidth we needed. The slow speeds were caused by me intentionnaly. I have never tested how much of our 100MB connection we actually use. Needless to say the tests showed me what I was looking for, and I turned them back up after 100000000000 complaints....lol. The server is now running at full power it took about 24 hours to recache everything for the higher speeds.

I am still getting very slow d/load speeds, down to 10 kbs so its taking 10 minutes instead of 30 seconds to d/load a course. I only d/load the course + missing libs as required.I have read in this topic that the problems have been fixed, can anyone suggest a solution.

FYI, I downloaded 2 courses tonight and the download speeds were extremely quick. Like about 20 seconds apiece. No complaints from me!!

Yep. If you take the time to download the libraries individually instead of using myzip youll be surprised how many new releases require only the course file. Its a little bit of pain up front but the payback is that a new course release becomes a minor download. It also means less traffic, faster speeds for all, a lower cost for the site owners and therefore less donations eventually required from the end user.

Dont know if anyone else is having this issue, but many times I end up downloading a course twice. I'll select a course, click download this course,create my zipfile, then download my zipfile. Then the caddy pops up and I click run. When the caddy gets done loading the course, it ends up being a course that I had previously loaded. Then I have to go back and load the course all over again. This doesn't happen all the time, but quite often.

I only have a slow d/load speed at this site, 270 kbs from other sites but still on 10-30kbs here, other club members are at 260kbs from here, what could cause this???

If your still getting slow download speeds, it is not a problem on our end. You need to empty your temporary internet files and restart your PC. I have a 10MB Connection, and my avg download is 300 - 500 KBs.

I also highly recommend using Firefox and CCleaner.
