Stardock Central download speeds? 30 "bytes" per second?!
Thursday, August 14, 2003 by Waldo1967 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
What's up with the erratic download speeds from Stardock? I'm updating a bunch of my programs and I'm getting anywhere from 30KB per second (which is acceptable) to as low as 30 bytes per second!? One current download, that I'm still waiting for, is taking forever, and it's only a couple of megabytes. I'm on cable and at most sites I get 50 - 250 KB/sec.
And why do I sometimes see the speed pick up right near the end of the download? It will go for 30 bytes/sec for the longest time and then all of a sudden, about 2/3 the way through it will shoot up to 100 KB/sec?
Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you on the Atlanta server? If so, try the California server. The Atlanta's bandwidth gets maxed now and then during peak times.

Ahhh, I didn't know there were 2 servers.
Changed to California and all is well now.
Thanks.
