[silent2k8]

Hi guys

ovh have crappy routing to some countries and their sla/nosla crap gives really bad speeds during "peak times"

True true.


Try opening 4 or 5 threads.

i think you right dude, now its between 50 and 10 kb.
conclusion dont get seedbox from ovh unless you are from france or somewhere near guys :)

I live in the USA and I can max out at ~350kb/s per connection, per file. so it's not too bad :D

And remember guys, OVH is cheap for a reason.

i took sometimes 8 kBs/s too but when i got it .It was really hard to connect to server to with remote desktop or web gui maybe this is a down time?
and look ftp server setting did some1 limit your download speed?

[rulereric]

Is this box dedicated to just you?

[silent2k8]

nice now its 1 kb for like 3 hours . thats nice .
yes the box is of my friend
its a nightmare getting my files to my pc :)))))

ovh= not for me, thanks

if u mean 100mbit yes ive had speeds of 17mb many times.

[silent2k8]

now the speed is ok 193kb

so what we understand from this
in themorning its was from 50 kb to 10 kb for 4 hours
in the afternoon 5kb to 0 kb for 5 hours
in the evening 200 to 100 kb now thats the speed - for couple of minutes
its back 0kb while i am writing the post :)) its ok standing still! :)
now back 200 kb :)
maybe they are blocking or something.i should go talk to the support immadietely i am sick of it

whats going on here, why its so unstable??????????? :)

Use a good multithreading ftp client like 3dftp. use the search function to find at least 3 more threads talking about this issue.

[silent2k8]

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people .

haha funny :)

is this true or do people just not know what they're doing? i'm planning on leaving Leaseweb for ovh but i won't if it's this gay. i max out my 20mb connection with leaseweb. will ovh not do this?

[ericab]

it will if you know what you are doing.
i max out my 32mbit cable connection with OVH, and im in the usa.
setup vsftpd on your box correctly; get a client like 3d-ftp, and youll be good to go.

I used to download at 1MB/s which was ok, but now i can't get speeds greater than 200KB/s (avg. speed 150KB/s) and as low as 30KB/s which pretty much sucks.

3d-ftp will do nothing if OVH's link to your country/ISP is lame.But since i'm on a shared box i'd give OVH the benefit of the doubt.This could be due to a lot of reasons.

Got a dedicated Kimi and the ftp seeds do indeed suck at 8k-20k a thread :(

this thread almost persuaded me not to buy an ovh dedi. i'm so glad i decided to pay it no attention. i purchased the kimsufi XL and i easily max my 20mbit connection. i also remote-upload via ftp to rapidshare at 10+ mb/s. couldn't be happier with ovh..

Glad you have a good experience. Just tried again and get the same slow speeds roughly 8-15 kbps per thread on a Kimi L and Kimi Xl via ftp download :frusty:

that sucks. are you using vsftpd? that's the ftp server i'm using. i've never tried the other ones but this one works great. the problem may be your ftp server.
