Download Performance Slow - What is an acceptable download speed?

 Hi, I have a server that has very slow performance.

I have read numerous posts and run maintenance etc. but I can't work out what is wrong and was hoping someone had any ideas or maybe even tell me that my data transfer speeds are typical. What is an acceptabledownload speed?

Vault Download Performance Slow - What is an acceptable speed?

We haven't yet migrated all the data to 2021 (but the performance issue is on both the old 2019 + new 2021 server and 2019 is fully migrated)

Plenty of free disc space + network has more than enough capacity

Have run all the maintenance + purged (dataset went from over 1TB to under  TB) as per autodesk recommendations

Download speeds (on the same network with gigabit connection)

105 MB / 60 files - average 2 mins

36 GIG / 40k files - 12 - 14 hours.

Both of these are roughly working out to 50 Meg a minute.

Download speeds - VPN + direct connection

105 MB / 60 files - 2 minutes average

Connection Speed (7ms latency 80 down / 15 Up)

Download speed (on virtual machine / same server)

105 MB / 60 files - 45 seconds - (This is just for reference as we don't use virtual machines)

Server - Windows / 1.9 TB SATA SSD Raid

- gigabit network (10 gig switches .. I think that's the correct terminology)

- internet speed 250+ megabit down / 100+ megabit up

What is an acceptable download speed for an ADSL2 connection?

ADSL2 and download speed is currently 1.03Mbpms.   It seems much slower than usual. What is anacceptable download speed for an ADSL2 connection?

ADSL2 is a standard for delivering internet connectivity through telephone connections. It is designed to work approximately twice as quickly as ADSL. This means speeds of up to 24Mb/s for downloads and 3.5Mb/s for uploads are theoretically possible.

 ADSL2 works on the same principles but uses an advanced form of technology to cope with faster speeds. It requires new equipment at both ends of the connection.

This means that ADSL2 will only be available in an area once the local telephone exchange has been upgraded. Customers who want to use ADSL2 services will then need a new modem router. There is no need to make any changes to the phone line itself.

Using an ADSL2 router, more than one PC or internet-enabled device can be connected to the internet at any one time. In comparison to a standard ADSL connection, ADSL2 can achieve speeds three times faster, however, real-time speed and performance are still subject to distance from the exchange (ideally you need to be within a 5km range).

Acceptable download speed, upload speed, and latency

So I was wondering what you all would think an acceptable download speed/upload speed/latency would be for playing games online. I'm currently running at Download (56.13), Upload (10.46), and Latency (96). I've been playing my fair share of titanfall, and I've noticed a fair bit of lag and lost server connections. Thoughts?



I think it depends on who you are. Personally, I'm happy with anything that I can download within a few minutes or so depending on how big the file is. I don't really care though. Downloading really depends on the server you're downloading from. I've downloaded from sites at over 1 megabyte per second (I have Comcast) and at the same time I've downloaded from sites that were 2 kilobytes per second with the same connection. I also download things that take me a couple of days even though I have a fast connection.

The Average Ping Speed

  By Jacob Andrew Many services, particularly games, measure performance according to ping. Acquiring your ping is relatively easy, but interpreting the results requires a deeper understanding of Internet bandwidth and server response times. To get your average ping, use tools available natively to Windows, or online speed measurement websites. Understanding Ping Ping measures the time it takes for a remote device to respond to your ping request. The results are measured in milliseconds or ms. As part of the Internet Control Messaging Protocol, the ICMP ping command requires a specific destination. Your response time varies depending on the location of that destination, typically a server or router. Pinging your gateway address, for example, should result in less than a 1 ms response time. Pinging google.com, however, may take 50ms. A single ping is also affected by a number of factors, including load on the server and congestion on your own network; this is why ping commands ...
