Slow FIJI Dowloads

[David Webster]

FIJI'ans

I have been trying to download the latest version of FIJI from
http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/Downloads, but the rate are
around 10 Kb/sec. I just and ImageJ download and it is at about 500
Kb/sec. Does anyone know what the problem is and/or is it going ti be
fixed soon?

I have no idea where your slow download rate comes from; I have a much
higher one right as we speak.

Ciao,

All (I think),

I read Dscho's message and re-tried my download. I am still getting the
real slow download speeds. Could it having something to do with my being
in southern California and Fiji being in Germany along with Dscho? Are
there any SoCal members out there who could try a download?

Hi David,

I get about 20k/sec at home; I'm on RoadRunner in San Diego.  The
machine at work (.salk.edu) gets 600k/sec.

All,

Wayne also reported low download speed from Fiji (mpi). I tried
downloading a pdf from MPI and still get 25kb/sec. But downloads from TU
Delf and INRIA both go at about 250 Kb/sec. So, there must be a problem
with Germany, or at least MPI. How do we find out what it is? My ISP was
not surprisingly unhelpful.

To all:

I am also in Southern California (San Fernando Valley) and I also use
Road Runner. I use http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ to check speeds.
My speed at home was measured now at 15,224 kbps download and 964 kbps
upload.

All,

Hmm! I am using Road Runner as well in the San Fernando Valley and got the
same results
with http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest. On the other hnd, Wayne Rasband got
low (about 20kb/sec) transfer rates from Germany to Maryland. In any case, I
hope it's not Road Runner
as they have already told me it's not their problem.

I have gotten higher rates from other places in Europe, but other downloads
from Max Planck Institute were slow as well. Does nayone have another site
Germany they can try?

Does anyone know how we can find out where the problem is.

To all:

Here is an excellent summary of all the factors involved in how fast a
file is downloaded to your computer:

    * the power of your work station (computer) and software (browser)
configuration
    * the (nominal) speed of your connection to your ISP (Internet
service provider)
    * the Internet traffic between your ISP and the ISP for the site you
are accessing
    * the speed of the connection between the "other" ISP and your
target site
    * the power of the server hosting the pages or files you are
interested in

*The weakest link in this chain determines the final result

*The above is from a discussion that, while 10 years old by Manfred
Kuechler at Hunter College, CUNY, still summarizes the problems in an
excellent manner.
