What do You think of the speed of my new host

[tommykjensen]

I got a new host.

Let me know what You think of the speed for loading following photos:

Regular size

A panorama size

To be honest I found it rather slow. On the panorama photo the download speed was between 20-35k a second. I am on a 1.5 meg connection so should easily get 150kb/s plus.

[Moppie]

I have to agree.

Iv seen those photos before, loaded off your old host, and they load much much faster.

Your new host made me feel like I was back on dail up :(

[tommykjensen]

Strange, from my work they load almost instantly. The panorama is a bit slower but still.

Would You mind sending me a traceroute in PM ?

[Jemmind]

The loaded up speedily for me!

[jaypie77]

Slow for me.

[clorich]

Running about 211 Kb/s here. (compared to ~300-350 Kb/s from the big corporate sites)

RRREEEAAALLLLYYYY SSSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWW!
They are fast on your computer because they are in your cache.

[Jemmind]

It looks fast to me, but how can I tell how many kb/sec his photos are loading on my computer??

Slowwwwwww

Can anyone measure speed of http://www.photography-on-the.net/1DmarkII/markIIfiles/HV8O9890.jpg please.

[Moppie]

I did two for Tommy last night, but Im unable to get it to work for yours Peka.
I keep "unable to resolove target system name www.photography-on-the.net"

Average 349 Kb/s to download the entire file ---> that's 93% of my theoretical maximum, and about as high as I see for sustained downloads anywhere.

[Scottes]

Can anyone measure speed...
Wget reports 211 K/s on a 3 Mb/s cable modem near Boston, MA.

NOPE thats not the case. wget downloads from the site everytime besides I tested several photos that I knew was not in my cache.

Less than 1 sec for the lion. Close to 2 seconds for the pano. Would probably be less time if it didn't have to open a new window first.

[edsarkiss]

on my FreeBSD machine at work (big corporate network, lots of bandwidth [we're talking GB/s to the campus], most people are at home) i get:

750KB/s for pekka's file
100KB/s for timmy's file

as a comparison, i get about 5MB/s downloading from microsoft, and 2.5MB/s downloading from freebsd.org.

According to PC Pitstop, I have 3000 Kb/s to 3500 Kb/s to the desktop.
Times (from Mozilla "save") for Tommy's 167 KB/ 1-2 sec; 455 KB/ 5 sec. showing peak of 88 KB/sec
For Pekka's 4832 KB/20 sec. peaked at about 288 KB/sec.
Just opening the page, I could watch Tommy's images roll down the page, so I think the times above reflect what I'd see browsing his site. Pekka's opened at about the same pace, but they're much bigger. So from here, it looks like Tommy's host is about 1/4 the speed of Pekka's. Maybe less, since the rates from Pekka's were pretty close to my limits.

Don't the performance characteristics of one's PC influence the speed at which images appear on one's monitor?

At home, on my PC, the photos appeared in less than 2 seconds (3 GHz, Pent 4 w/1GB ram). On my laptop at work they took 3 times longer (850MHz, Pent 3, 512MB ram)--and my laptop was using roadrunner business class service versus residential service for the PC.

[Jon]

Try running PC Pitstop's d/l test to see what you're really getting. My times are from a "save image", so independent of computer's display abilities, but roughly corresponded to the times needed to bring the images up on screen by download. I can think of several reasons why a nominally slower connection could outpace a "faster" one in real-world tests, not least the known influence of load factors on cable modem services.

I right click the link the select 'Save link as' and then it is treated as a download.

Then it give k/sec and your PC speed is not really a factor.
