We had a few remarks from users having slow download speeds from our site. It has been a few weeks we have a mirror running to offer better speed for non European users but it seems not to be sufficient and we are currently considering to open an extra mirror site for downloads.

Can you please test the links below (all of them if possible) and report your download speed, please also specify your location (country) and Internet access speed.

The first 2 links are referring to current arctablet.com servers.

Link #1: Arctablet main site: http://goo.gl/Ajt9e

Link #2A: Arctablet mirror2 (US): http://goo.gl/nSYjO

Link #2B: Arctablet mirror1 (US): http://goo.gl/89vgW

Link #2C: Arctablet mirror3 (Hong-Kong): http://goo.gl/3Gw7x

The following (#3 to #7) are possible options for a new mirror server:

Link #3 (Hong Kong): http://goo.gl/wqKjq

Link #4: (Hong Kong) : http://goo.gl/yrcFK

Link #5: (Asia) : http://goo.gl/8n2yI

Link #6: (USA): http://goo.gl/2Nkwn

Link #7: (Germany) http://goo.gl/Z8dSl

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for your report, it seems you are getting good speed with our existing servers.

That's weird you can't open link #3 to #7, which error are you getting ?

(link #4 had a problem and was doing a 404, it's fixed now)

Cheers.

Tried it again and here are the results:

Link #1: 1.4 MB/s

Link #2: 1.3 MB/s

Link #3 166KB/s

Link #4 30-33KB/s

Link #5 670KB/s

Link #6 1.1 MB/s

Link #7 1.4MB/s

Not bad at all for size of the files you are sharing.

Thanks for the good work.

Thanks for the test guys.

According to your reports and my other tests, link #7 seems quite good and has good speed to Asia.

I hope we'll get more speed reports by people outside Europe Wink

Cheers.

Thanks to you all for helping with the bandwidth tests, we have interesting data here.

Still, I need more tests from users outside Europe, specially in Asia and Russia so we can decide where to locate the new mirror server.

Thank you for your help.

I have made some changes in the mirror and added 2 news servers, one in the US and another in Hong Kong for Asian users.

Please report speed test on the mirrors:

Link #2B: Arctablet mirror (US): http://goo.gl/89vgW

Link #2C: Arctablet mirror (Hong-Kong): http://goo.gl/3Gw7x

Thank you.

Thanks for the tests guys, looks like Link #2B does good both of Americans and Europeans.

I'm still looking for feedback from Asian users, specially on link #2C.
