Hey,
if I remember correctly, I had also pretty slow download rates at your servers in the past... Are there general problems with the servers or is it normal?
This is a problem, when it´s urgent.....

Hi!
Today I had to download some images again, and the download speed for the iso images is still terrible. Did somebody care about this? In comparison see the speed I have at download.astaro.com:
I just did a test and I'm getting MB/s rather than kB/s from downloads.sophos.com...
First thought would be this could be location specific; either where you are in the world or your local network download speed. If you run a general internet speed test with a service like http://www.speedtest.net/ what kind of speeds does it report? For comparison, I just did one and it said...
I guess I could test by connecting to a VPN that routes via Germany, but I'm not sure what else I could do to repro the issue.

Maybe it´s kind of a peering problem, slow link from my provider. That can be. My line ís good, but maybe we have problems with this destination network/server. But that would need some investigations by the providers.... The good thing is, I do not need it that often....
It certainly shows a smaller transfer rate if I deliberately VPN via Germany...
I get a bit of packet loss too but that could be due to the VPN service.
Do you know the server you are connecting to? Can you check and let me know?

Hi,
this is the server (that also served my request last time), seems to be a different one than yours:
Hmmm. Thought it would be different as it's all load balanced etc. globally. However I forced downloads.sophos.com to that IP address using my host file...
#testing slow downloads
178.79.251.10 downloads.sophos.com
178.79.251.10 sophos-1.hs.llnwd.net
178.79.251.10 downloads.sophos.com.cn.lldns.net
...but I still get a higher transfer rate...
I think moving to a different internet provider as a test would be interesting. Not sure of your options locally but wifi to LAN; compare business to home; test from a friend's /colleague's connection or local coffee shop near by. Something like that. [:S]
