</span>No, we do not throttle connections, and our uplink should be quite<br>
fast. If you can run<br>
<br>
traceroute <a href="http://www.math.utah.edu" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.math.utah.edu</a><br>
<br>
from your system, that should tell you how many router hops it takes,<br>
and which ones are the bandwidth bottlenecks.<br>
<br>
I just made a test from a guest account that I have at another<br>
university in the state of California:<br>
<br>
wget <a href="http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive/bin/i386-freebsd-9.1.tar.xz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive/bin/i386-freebsd-9.1.tar.xz</a><br>
...<br>
100%[======================================>] 35,882,840 29.1MB/s in 1.2s<br>
<br>
<br>
wget <a href="ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive/bin/i386-freebsd-9.1.tar.xz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive/bin/i386-freebsd-9.1.tar.xz</a><br>
...<br>
100%[======================================>] 35,882,840 33.7MB/s in 1.0s<br>
<br>
At the moment, that is the only user account that I have outside the<br>
state of Utah.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Here in Prague, 50s via http, 10s via ftp. The bottleneck seems to be in France as reported by traceroute. The second wget via http succeeded within 20s but the file might be cached in one of the squid's on the way. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Perhaps others on this list could report download times for the above<br>
URLs (identical filesystem locations, but different protocols).<br>
<br>
>From my home system (Comcast cable-modem connection), just 5km south<br>
of my office on campus, I got transfer rates of 0.717MB/s and<br>
0.419MB/s, about 50 to 100 times slower than the inter-state<br>
inter-university download. That is just a reflection of the poor<br>
Internet service speeds that we have to put up with at homes in Salt<br>
Lake City from our only two major providers: cable and telephone DSL.<br>
Most local users report higher bandwidth from cable than from DSL.<br>
<br>
Google Fiber is coming to our city, but deployment has not yet reached<br>
my neighborhood, and I pay $90/month for my current service.<br></blockquote><div><br><br><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div>
