Hey guys, if you could *please* download the two files here. They are files provided by a two webhosts I am considering and d/l speed *ESPECIALLY FROM EUROPE* is the major deciding factor.

#2: http://www.e5hosting.com/testfiles/10MB.txt

With your replies Please include:

1) Speeds of #1 and #2
2) Your physical location (city or state or whatever)
3) If they cap out your internet connection speed

Thanks a million board!
 
1. First one topped out at 280 KB/s, second one topped out at 380 KB/s. I've gotten as fast as 700 KB/s sustained before.
2. New Jersey
3. No
 
#1 550kb/s and steady
#2 finished at 660kb/s and still going up
UK
University fat pipe (have got 4MB/s and more before, from UK websites though)
 
1) 1: 1200 KB/s 2: 1150 KB/s
2) Iowa 🙁
3) Not sure if it's maxed out... I'm on a huge university connection. 1 MB/s is pretty dang good for non-Internet2 hosts though.
 
#1: 500KB/s
#2: 500KB/s

Honolulu, HI

Both capped me out, although #2 started around 300KB/s and eventually built up to max my link, #1 started strong and stayed strong.
