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!

Server #1
Server #2
Server #3

Thanks for your help!

From USA - New Jersey (Comcast cable)
#1 - started at 130KB/s and slowly went up - rised to 940KB/s near the end of the download
#2 - 1.3MB/s
#3 - 26KB/s (very slow!)

Server #2 was clearly the best in my case.
