OMG thats so slow, how could you possibly handle having to download amv's at such painfully slow speeds?

Hey C_Leckie,

Do a tracert to nago.animemusicvideos.org and see where the slow down is. It could be that your ISP switched to a cheaper/slower connection to the US for your convenience.

Um, you know, same thing just happened to me for some reason. And I doubt my ISP is anywhere near Scotland

Perhaps server issues again?

Hey,

Otohiko: Our new storage server was installed last night around 2am. When they hooked it up, the network auto-detect thought it was only a 10Mbps connection instead of a 100Mbps line. It stayed really slow until I contacted them at 9:30am.

C_Leckie: tracert is a command called "trace route". It will give the ping times for each hop along the internet network it takes to get from your computer to the destination. It should start out with fast ping times (10-30ms) and steadily get longer (40-60ms or higher). Once it gets to the hop that takes you over the Atlantic, ping times should get kinda high (>100ms). It the pings get really high (>250ms), then that is most likely the problem in your connection.

I hope this helps.

Actually, I've been getting some slower than usual connections. Considering that I'm on an Internet2 node, chances are good that things are on the Org's end.

A tracert shows cogentco by hop 6, and the Nago at hop 18, with no notably high ping times along the way.

Go figure.

Hey Kalium,

At this very moment, the connection is saturated so you will get a little slowdown right now. I'm waiting a bit longer to see how donations are holding up before renegotiating additional bandwidth. There is currently only a 7% buffer margin between the monthly amount that comes in as donations and out bandwidth cost. Taking that buffer down to, say, 2% would make me very nervous and leave no saving room for an additional server down the line. Hopefully donations will pick up this month and I'll see about up-ing our bandwidth next month.

Not if all you get is "* * * Request timed out." no matter how many times you try it.

I'm thinking this is a problem with my college firewall though; ping gives me the same problem (if I try to access any server that's not on the TCNJ network).
