AT effect request for server test. (with a useful download too!)

[aircooled]

Website here.

The box is older but it's sitting on a T-1 so I hope the download speeds are acceptable.

There's a 5.5MB file for testing download speeds (RealAlt 1.02, so it's actually a useful download if you dont have it).

If you have a few seconds, please download the 5.5MB file and post back your average speed (including your method of connection (broadband / dial-up, etc.)

Thanks!

edit = spelling...thanks jumpr

 

It's the AT effect - but we will be AFFECTING the server.

hehe effect not affect.. I'll go edit now

 

I started at 220 kbps but went down to about 175 kbps halfway through.

 

[SaigonK]

80k average....tried again later...275k.

 

[crumpet19]

Peak -230kbps average around 185kbps.
Cable internet.
Thanks!

 

[neovan]

120K-220K

 

[MeanMeosh]

cable internet, started at 350k/sec burst and went down to around 175k/sec, but ended up going down more to average at 125k/sec

 

[aircooled]

Thanks for the testing. seems pretty consistent so far (I get over 900k on my company T-1, but looking for real world numbers )

 

[aircooled]

bump for more testing...

Thanks again for those that already posted your average speed.

 

[Ameesh]

70Kbps

 

[GregGreen]

about 71.9kB/s from my 768kbps adsl

 

[Koing]

70kb/s constant.

Cable in England.

 

[aircooled]

Thanks everyone. Not too bad for a PII233 on a T1

Everyone else feel free to test it and post your numbers. Any dial-upers?? Would be more intereted in "how many minutes" rather than kbps on dial-up.

 

[rocadelpunk]

60-70 KBps

out of 250KBps max.

Averaging just under 100 kbps just before posting this.

Processor speed doesn't really matter on download speed or static web page serving. Put 1GB or RAM or so in that thing and all the pages will load into memory as their selected by users and it will be almost impossible for anyone to tell the actual processor is that slow. Unless you're doing a lot of server side processing, that P2 233MHz is more than enough for most serving situations.

I have dialup...

Getting 5.0 k a sec.. which is good for this dialup...

EDIT:
went down to 3.6 at 50% downloading...

This box will only handle 512 max RAM, I have 256 in it now, but will double that shortly. Thanks for the reminder though, I forgot it was only at 256 until I read your post.

Thanks for the dial-up report. How long did it take?

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Down to 120kbps where it stabilized then upto 150kbps within a few seconds gradually and stayed about there.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Around 130 KB/s.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Could you tell me what a 233mhz computer on a T1 is going to do? That T1's monthly cost must be higher than the whole system itself :Q

 

[Acanthus]

88.1 KB/sec, 768k ADSL.

 

[SuepaFly]

140kbps

My friend owns the T-1 and said I could put 1 box on it for free. My only spare was this PII 233, I figured I'd slap it on there just for kicks. (It's a learning experience...)
Plus it's a side of I.T. I don't usually get to mess with. I'm a network admin but all of our websites are hosted elsewhere and I just needed something to experiment with.
