You certainly have noticed that we've been having some rather big bandwidth issues lately, forcing us to deactivate part of our streaming system while looking for a solution. Well, we have part of this solution ready, but now we need you to fine tune it!
It's very easy, all you have to do is try downloading for at least 30 seconds the file from each of these three servers, and then report the speed you got in the news comments. It's *very* important that you do not use a download manager (or that you use only one thread) for this test to be worthwhile!
Thanks for your help!

PS for everyone who write kb = kilibit some eg write 50 kb is the same as 6,4kB just so you know you may confuse quite a chunk of peoples.

Commented on 2008-04-19 01:35:25 In reply to MugiMugiI honestly doubt anyone with the knowledge to know the difference between kb and kB will be confused.
It's correct to write a lower-case k for kilo, it's not "kili". An upper-case K stands for Kelvin, and not kilo.
Neither does ki, in the context of binary calculation and expressions, stand for kilo but in fact kibi.
On the other hand though, lower-case b is in fact bit and an upper-case B is in fact byte.
When you see someone write that they've got a "20mb" connection, and then they write 2.2mb/s... it's a logical assumption in the context and comparison of previous messages that the person means in fact 2.2MB/s.
Edit:
To clarify: kibit (kibibit - or - "kilibit") is 1024 bytes (2^10).
kilobit on the other hand, is 1000 bytes (10^3).

#1 is the fastest download i ever made... even on the speedtest-site of my ISP i dont reach this speed! Very nice to see this download-capability.
