Just for fun I downloaded winamp on the server a bunch of times in a row with no wait between. Look at this speed.



Those are all like 10MB files by the way... and as I said, they were downloaded in rapid succession.

It's like a 90 MB/s average to Winamps server.

Although, they are pretty close by...

90 MB/s
= 720.00 Mbps
= 85.83 MiB/s
= 324.00 GB/h
= 5.40 GB/min

If the connection ran full bore for 24 hours at that rate it would transfer 7.8TB of data.

At full line capacity...

1 Gbps
= 125.00 MB/s
= 119.21 MiB/s
= 450.00 GB/h
= 7.50 GB/min
= 1.00 Gbps
(10.8 TB / 24H)

All speeds converted with http://web.forret.co...s/bandwidth.asp --- I like his conversion calc. I may take some notes from it for my next version of that tool.

This server is definitely fast, I hope you guys enjoy it. It can keep up for sure

I'm pretty sure I'm maxing out that server... off the top of my head I think that's 100Mbit

Hmmm.... I was actually able to more then 100 Mbps from that before.

Try this http://speedtest.dal...ads/test100.zip if that one is no good try this one http://speedtest.sea...ads/test100.zip its bigger but not quite big enough. You need a larger file then your connection can really download at to test it. Using the 100 MB test file from softlayer I was able to get 52.7 MB/s thats 421 Mbps to my server in Portland, but the file is too small the test only lasted 1.9 seconds.

I will try to find a larger file to see what your connection can really do over a longer amount of time.

Well that was fast. I found one. Try this http://speedtest.dal...ads/test500.zip if Dallas is no good try this one http://speedtest.wdc...ads/test500.zip

I was able to average 45.8 MB/s from one of my servers from the seattle one.

NICE. So in the real world you probably looking at being able to do a sustained ~500 Mbps or so. I don't think you will want to be paying for a 500 Mbps bandwidth bill tho. Thats enough for 166 TB in a single month.
