amc11890 Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 just a few days ago i have been experiencing very slow dl speeds while downloading game demos and stuff from microsoft.com. I have experience downloads as low as 10 kbps. am i the only one with this problem? Also when actually testing the connection threw testmy the scores are 1.3mbps so my connection is not the problem.

Swimmer Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 Have you heard about vista and IE7? The betas are downloadable to the IT/Corp people in the Beta section. that is my guess why the servers are running slow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just- Posted August 7, 2005 CID Share Posted August 7, 2005 i dont think it would be the vista slowing u guys down must be something else i mean once its in their servers its in their internal network it would not go across their DMZ zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 It isn't always apparent what the issue it when you see a slow download. I do know that they run a large cluster of servers and if I see a slow download, I just cancel it and retry. Usually that fixes the issue for me. It just gets another server and swoosh, here comes the bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 HAHAHAHA.. yeah maybe.. i guess there is going to be a q/a session at an upcomming conference with the "Linux Lab Manager" from microsoft.. Maybe he can explain the slow ass downloads.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 I am not seeing anything as far as notice for this slow down.. maybe they are doing some server work or upgrading some neworking equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
