Forum Attachment Download Speed

All,

I have no been able to find another like post. If this is a repeat, forgive me.
Problem I am having is the forum attachment download speed. Maps, cars, pictures -- all of that is very slow.
It has been this way since joining in the beginning of August.
I know the admin's have pushed and requested all files be attached for mods/uploads.

Specific Speeds: 75-200Kb/s
Takes about 15mins to download a 100MB file.

Looks like beamng.com is hosted in Germany and I am in the US -- that may be a contributing factor.
Does anyone know if they have the attachments hosted anywhere else?

Any suggestions other than to move to Germany?

 

I'm all the way down in New Zealand and my download speeds are usually around 500kb/s. Sometimes they tend to slow down to 200kb/s. Doesn't bother me that much, faster downloads would be nice though

 

I usually get 5-10 kB/s from forum attachments. Opening a screenshot takes minutes and maps take hours to download.

Downloads from other sites are a few hundred kB/s here, so I think external mirrors for large files would be a good idea until the issue is fixed.

 

I get 500 - 1000 kb/s here in Brazil. I guess it's normal for me here, but sometimes it can get dropdowns from 0bp/s to 200kb/s.

 

Thanks for the acknowledgement tdev.
Do you guys host your own servers?

 

On updater I get : 2-20MBPS
On forums I get : 10-850kbps

 

Thanks for looking for the problem. Here a short feedback:

I´m from Germany (Provider is KabelBW) and i get from the forum Attachments only a speed from 80-100 kb/s at any time.
If i download with a download manager, the speed goes up - per segment ca. 100 kb/s but max ca. 500 kb/s.

The updater is faster, i get speed up to 2000 kb/s and more.

Edit: Today 9.9. - i got speed from the Attachments over 2000 kb/s It look like the problem is now solved. Thanks !

 

I seem to get around 200-300kbps on both the updater and forum. 40mbps normal, upload no longer works for me. :I
