Currently @ work, i will update later 2night with the speed tests, but the best i seem able to obtain is 6.6/6.8 down and 384kbit up, yet i sync @ 7616 (<500 meters from dslam) i did apply some cablenut tweaks and took my windows box from 550kbyte/sec upto around 770ish, but (of course) my linux box didnt move, i am wondering if i may be at the boundaries of tweaking and this could be a hardware (modem) issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac Posted March 19, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 okay kinda bored n not home yet *sigh* i hate the 8am->9pm days but i decided to get some stats for this here thread so i ssh'd into my server @ home while it was idle n did a simple wget, yes i know, this is all about tweaking windows etc etc, but here it is: (partly through a 15mb pic download used for www.ozspeedtest.com.au: [root@##### ~]# wget --20:31:32-- => `grass_15mb.jpg?t=1174301784530.1' Resolving speedtest-2.internode.on.net... 203.26.94.189 Connecting to speedtest-2.internode.on.net|203.26.94.189|:80... connected.

insomniac Posted March 22, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2007 seems like a weird thing to mention before, but the file i had loaded, well i dont remember which one it was, lol so im back to random testing, but it may also seem weird but the version 9 files, the 3mbit css file gives a better end speed than the 5mb+ file. but ill welcome all other idea's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted March 22, 2007 CID Share Posted March 22, 2007 use these links, when you compare speed before/after tweaking, you should use the same testmirrors.... Also the same testsize. http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?&st=st&tt=1&ta=1&top=mirror-ria-tech&out_src=20MB.txt http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/u_load.php?&tt=1&st=st&ta=1&top=mirror-ria-tech&align=center&s=2992 VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac Posted March 22, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 22, 2007 i would love to use the same mirror, but i would have to wait for next month to test that cause its hit its donation. ria-tech, even tho its in australia, is useless, the results are not accurate, perhaps for people in that state, but its not in any 'major routes' (ie: my connection goes adelaide -> sydney -> san jose) where qld (ria tech) is off a small pipe from sydney, and not too accurate. but on both speed tests i have tested with file from my isp: [`[*Test Results*]`] [(---------------------------------- Test run on [*20/03/2007*] @ [*07:11 PM*] Mirror: [*Internode*] Data: [*15 MB*] Test Time: [*19.95 secs*] Your line speed is [*6.28 Mbps*] (6281 Kbps). Your download speed is [*785 kB/s*] (0.77 MB/s). )] as in my isp is internode. also fyi, riatech isn't configured for 2mb uploads, it re-directs to another server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac Posted March 25, 2007 Author CID Share Posted March 25, 2007 anyone able to help? i dont think tweaking is the answer here, linux hits 770kb/s down, and so does my windows box, thats why i believe it to be an issue with my router. im going to try with a cisco 800 series later this week, that should give me a much better idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
