Guys, what are your speeds from these sites?


[link to this post]
 
I am getting very [censored] speeds for any of the big sites I want to get a demo from at peak times. I can download an ISO of Linux no problem, however the sites below are [censored] for game demos, could you guys test them please?

Just pick some random demos from here

http://www.gamershell.com/

here

http://www.filefront.com/

here

http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/demos/

Are your speeds very erratic? Some downloads are fast and some terribly slow even on the 1000mbit pipes. It is driving me crazy, speedtest from here and bt speedtester show I am getting correct download speed. But it seems weird I get horrible speeds from the sites above?

I get top speeds from gamershell if I download the command and conquer demo or get a ubuntu download from http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download

It's the sites.

But I grabbed one from each and it seemed reasonable.

gamershell is normally upwards of 200k - full speed (400ish) from me unless there busy, the zen server always is like 5k tho

I would just put up with the slower speeds than pay. CnC3 demo was around a 6 hr download from EA but hey demos are getting bigger and bigger just the way they are.
