Slow downloading.
Saturday, June 28, 2008 by Cavan1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
Is it just me or are the download rates for skins very slow, just took 2 min to download a 12 meg IP, I am on a 5meg dsl. That averages to a 100 KB/sec download, at any other site my downloads are at 510 - 520 KB/sec and hold that. The IP I download started at 60, peaked at 269 and finished at about 60 again, jumping all over the place for entire download.
As a test downloaded a 3.77 meg skin from SA, downloaded so fast that downloads window did not show a rate, just went almost straight to scanning for viruses.
Windows XP Home SP3
FF 3.

Extra info, when downloading from subscriber resources page the downloads fly along at 510-540 KB/sec.
It is basically just the WC galleries that are slow. At time worse than stats in this thread.

We had some problems with the server wincustomize was residing on and are scrambling to get a 'weekend fix' in place. I've noted the download speeds you've posted and will have a look at it as soon as I'm able.

Still experiencing slow downloading. As a test started downloading a 142 meg Dream, at 10 min. 50 meg downloaded, that averages to about 83 KB/sec. At that average it would take about 28.5 min. for a download that should take about 4.6 min. on my service. Again this is on a 5 meg DSL and downloads at others sites run at 510-520 KB/sec.
