Very slow direct link downloads?

[dougfunny64]

Is anyone facing really slow speeds while direct downloading ISOS/ROMS from EP,or are there any issues with bandwdith? During all this weekend, I can't get past 150 KB/s,and sometimes I get as low as 70 or 80 KB/s (I'm usually able to download files in EP at 1.0+ MB/s), even though I have a 10MB DSL connection(.The same happens with download managers(orbit,jdownloader).Download speeds in other sites are fine,and speedtest.net reports maximum download/upload rates for my connection.Are you also encountering slow speeds?

EDIT:I'm accessing EP fom Brazil,maybe it's a regional issue?

It's hit and miss for me at times. Sometimes I get 20 KB/s tops. Other times 1 MB +. I think it just depends on the amount of traffic

It's usually a weekend thing. We get hit with tons of traffic on weekends and this causes slowdowns for a lot of folks. Another thing is that we just added 2000+ PS2 PAL ISOs so our servers are getting hit quite hard. Things should stabilize over the next few days though..

^This is why I always go for the putlocker links through the multiupload links on most downloads; generally much faster and stable speeds.

Does it support resuming?

All our servers support resuming

I'm having a lot of trouble downloading from Direct Links over FTP. I'm trying to get Resident Evil 4 (US for PS2) since Friday and when I get to download it (HTTP 503 Unavailable) my average speed don't get over 40KB/s.

Yes, they do.

Yes, they do.

Where are you located ? I just ran two tests (one from the US and another from Europe) and though I only downloaded the first 100 Megs of the file, I got an average of 350kb/s from the US and 1Mb/s from Europe.

The 503 unavailable message only shows up if you simultaneously try to download more than one file from the same server. For a spin, try changing the http part of the link to ftp (currently all files are being served over http since many users were facing issues with ftp - but ftp tends to be faster and more reliable for large files..).

Up until about a month ago, I could snag about a gig from here in probably under 15 minutes to a half hour. I haven't really tried to dl for a while until this past week and my speeds have been really, really slow. I can't complain, I'm still able to get something I want overnite, but I was just curious if it is just me because if so I will have to figure out the problem on my end. Anybody else?

I refer you to this thread

I read that already but thank you. I was just curious if it is only me because it has been consistent for the last week or 2 at all different hours of the day and night.

If you read that thread then why didn't you just post in there instead of creating a new thread in FFA?

[Mailmann006]

Because I didn't notice the date on it. Also I was curious if the "Happy Hour's" were still going on or if that was a thing of the disant past. Found it on a back page but it didn't have any date on it.

Fair enough.

I was just suspicious about a FFA thread on this topic...like it could become a place where people could complain endlessly about slow speeds.
Don't mind me, it's just a pet dislike I have (people complaining about slow speeds, and even filehosts...but that's a bit offtopic)

If you read the other thread MasJ says a heap of PS2 games were added, so I guess that means the server's probably being raped atm

[Mailmann006]

I know I apologize. I didn't know there was an actual area to post such questions in. I just happened to come across the thread in google and didn't see it was current. Usually the threads I find on google are really dated. On a better note, I started a dl here at 6 a.m. and it is burning it up now. Thanks!
