Indeed, that is some nice speed coming all the way from Greece I take it your on the ADSL2+ plan? $70 (

Oh.. their France Datacenter. Yeah, that looked pretty sh*te to me too.. but they gave me the option to move into one of the ones in Netherlands (mainly for the fact of the torrent business). I think its Netrouting or Graffix or something (or it peers through them to the uk).. Not too sure though. But for the price even with the specs at the moment, it doesnt hardly break the bank and imo, seems like an awsome deal! (I can watch my ratio fly high )

Hi D Thanks for your comments. They have reassured me it is not a shared pipe. I just got thinking about the HDD Read/Write speeds limiting, which you have reaffirmed Just installed some apps through wine and running some synchronous downloads and uploads, and I am more closer to the figure (well, closer then before, but then baring in mind the HDD limitations). That said, although its not that high, its uber-cool seeing a 5gb movie download in a few minutes now just getting it onto my pc is going to be the hard bit -K

Heya Guys and Girls. Just a quick question for all you linux experts Recently, (Actually, Just a couple of days ago), I got a couple of dedi-servers from OVH (http://www.ovh.co.uk/products/mgplus.xml) all is fine. Super-Duper responces etc. However, my main uses were/was going to be a seedbox (where I can seed/leech my torrents from) and then sell a few slots off (use up some of the pipe). Both servers claim to be on 1Gbps pipes, yet, I am unable to transfer files at anywhere near those speeds. -bash-3.1# wget ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/test/100mb.bin --12:52:48-- ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/test/100mb.bin => `100mb.bin.1' Resolving dl.xs4all.nl... 194.109.21.66 Connecting to dl.xs4all.nl|194.109.21.66|:21... connected.

Length: 104857600 (100M) 80% [==============================================================================================> ] 84,910,888 36.7M/s eta 0s ^^I am certain that host server (for the files) is able to max out way more then that. So I was wondering are there any tweaks (or general optimizations) I can apply etc? (I am starting to know a fair bit of Linux and dandy with the commands etc).

I have to admit, I struggle on the Russian and Dutch. The rest I am pretty fluent with

Oh.. No worries.. I was just wondering what they were.. "Gen gens" as I thought they were some new invention or something

No lol.. I just took Dutch at GCSE (Along with Swedish, Russian, French and German )

What are "gen gens" (thats a serious question )

Ik denk het ook Nederlands is

Oh, The days of MaxDSL ("upto 8Mb"). See my SIG now Roco, I think the UK broadband infrastructure is totally screwed. I mean the only hope with getting things sorted was Ofcom (Regulator). However when a regulator sets: "100kps or more - acceptable on 512Kbps products 200kbs or more - acceptable on 1Mb products 400kbs or more - acceptable on 2Mb, 4Mb & 8Mb products" ^^there really isn't any hope anymore. Also, What I totally find bizzare is, When an ISP buys up another ISP to create a bigger better service - and does so (taking customers from other ISPs - who are absolutely dreadful) they scream murder and the government gets involved for "unfair competition".

The ISP seems to be Knology (aka PrairieWave), However the fastest they advertise is 8Mb? Cached or something.

This is pretty interesting, (Unless my ISP has updated its routing/peering).
