Slow MSDN download?

| I guess this is normal for MSDN downloads. I usually get about 10-60
kbytes/s from MSDN but get as much as 1015 kbytes/s from a few other sites.
Nothing wrong with my fiber...

Oh well :-( I'll leave it downloading then...
Cheers, Rob.

| We are in the middle of a major platform upgrade, which has affected
download speeds somewhat. The good news is that in the very immediate
future (early this w , most likely) we'll be finalizing a cutover to the
new download servers which will significantly increase both our server
capacity and download bandwidth for MSDN Subscriber Downloads.

| We've been using MSDN subscriber downloads for many years and never had any
good download speeds. Let's hope the new download servers have better
capacity. The two lines I am using (a 2mbit fiber and a 10mbit fiber) can do
alot better than 10-60kbytes/s.

Just downloaded SourceSafe 6.0d and it downloaded at a very healthy 70KB/s
which is almost full broadband speed for me.
Cheers, Rob.

Wow.... Over 200KB/s here (in the UK) .... That's some improvement Andy !!!
Loz.

| Thanks. Our average transfer speeds are *way* up, particularly in Europe
and Asia. In addition to considerably more bandwidth in these datacenters
our new download system offloads a good deal of the encryption and
packet-checking overhead to hardware which was another bottleneck during
peak downloads.
