Hello all,

Now that we're finally on, what is hopefully the last of changing servers for a long time, what do you think of the speed? Please answer in the poll or if an option isn't there that describes it for you, please post.

Comments and questions are of course welcome.

138ms Ping.

Fairly quick in use, I don't see a huge difference in speed though.

Bender · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jan 02, 2008 1:41 pm

I'm getting a ping of 100ms to 150ms. Not bad, considering I'm running 5 torrents, and serving files off of a server...

Andy · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jan 02, 2008 1:42 pm

With the server being hosted in Roubaix, France, its now roughly in the middle of the user base, eg, USA to the West and Australia to the East. This means its fairly fast to everyone and definitely faster for users in Australia.

Apache · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jan 02, 2008 1:50 pm

I'm getting a ping of 25-30ms

Now that we are on the new server are you going to put all of the beta files on it?

Not sure yet. I'll decide soon. Problem is I'd rather not have the server taken offline if the DC decide its unsuitable to host. So I'm still debating whether to do it.

Apache · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jan 02, 2008 1:59 pm

There is that yes

idontknow · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Wed Jan 02, 2008 2:39 pm

The site does not feel faster, but then again it was never slow to begin with.

There was this one time when my ISP broke something, and I couldn't access most sites, including Google, Wikipedia etc, but this site worked!

The new server is pretty good.
Except that sometimes, the page wouldn't load, refreshing wouldn't help.

Aren't our files hosted in the same datacenter anyways?

It's a bit slower on this end now, but I can't notice too big of a difference.

Yeah I'm having a small issue. Basically I'm downloading the beta's from SP server as a backup, and once it goes over 40Mbps it drops the connection for some reason. I suspect the NIC isn't working properly. I've requested the datacentre take a look at it for me.

Well, this evening when the traffic is high ...

... my server still pwns yours Andy, lol ...

More seriously though, the site is soooo much faster now!
The old server used to ping at over 250ms for me!

See Andy, told you OVH was worth it ...

I second that.

although I'm at dial up right now I noticed that the speed is faster now.

I will tell you the speed next week, when I'm back at university.

So, we're on the new server, whats the speed like?

Who is online
