Gradually declining transfer speeds
Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2006 9:19 am
Hey guys, I have a dedicated server that I serve a lot of online video and downloads with. I notice that when I download large files from my server, they start off fast (say 450kb/sec) but gradually but rather quickly, fall to 150kb/sec and hold.
I was told before to check and make sure my server was not running at half-duplex, and I contacted my managed host and they double checked and said it certainly was not. I am on a 8mbs Comcast Cable connection, so it could be on my end, but it seems odd that this is happening with my server and I get fast downloads from other servers all the time. My server can handle A LOT more traffic than is currently getting as well.
Is this a result of my server or does this sound like my ISP? Thanks for your help and advice.
