1.10.4 download speed...

Post by jedi180 »

I just want to let everyone know that if you are trying to download v. 1.10.4 from SourceForge, most of the mirrors located in the USA are terribly slow and failed me several times. They only hover around 2.2 kbps. I would recommend downloading from "Switch", the file server located in Switzerland. I got a much faster download speed from that server.

I just tested, I get ~300K/s from most of the US servers. Switch is much better though, more than twice as fast. Could have something to do with the fact that I live in Europe. :D

I wish sunet.se would have an SF mirror.

I only have 56k so it is not as fast but Switch was twice as fast for me too, even though I am located about 10,000 miles away from Switzerland...
