Title: VERY slow D/L Speeds
Post by wowie on Dec 15th, 2012 at 3:26am
Although an Express paid-up member my D/L speeds are between 7-10KBsec.
I have tried everything, including Firefox to speed it up to no avail. No other sites have this problem.
I have a fast ADSL connection.

Any suggestions are more than welcom. :-/

Hi Alan

As you know I have tried everything to help you and even refunded your payment.

You have joined up again but I can only suggest there is something in your system that is preventing access. It could be some kind of security that thinks simviation is a file sharing site -- or firewall ---- so many possibilities.


If you have another PC that may help to identify the problem - but other than clearing cache - ccleaner - another browser - rebooting your PC -- turning off firewall/anti virus for one session to see if that is causing the problem --- I can't help much further at this distance from you.

You have gone to huge lengths to help me solve this problem which impressed me and I am willing to donate my Express fee regardless of fixing it.

Follow-up.
Regarding my one in ten thousand plus problem with "Simviation.com".

I have now tried downloading on 3 different computers each using a different system and different virus killers and the only constant between all three is the server "iinet".

I have contacted them and will let you know the results.

Be well all and take care......Alan :)

Hey Pete

I think you have a issue with your hdd. You reached sometimes your maximum of reads per sec. I had the same problem last year with my site. So i splitted my download server in 3 vservers with 3 dedicated hdds. I think you run freebsd on your server so you can check the reads and writes on our hdd with iosys
