DL speed from MU/RS/HF

Seric · **DL speed from MU/RS/HF -** 06-24-2011, 01:34 AM

For some reason lately when I try downloading from any of the sites they are extremely slow. What would originally take 9 minutes to download is taking me up to half an hour.

The downloads are inconsistent with speeds dropping randomly. I usually use megaupload (free) and get around 600KB/s. Now I'm getting around 200-300.

Is anyone else having trouble with this?

MU free usually get leftover bandwidth and it is the same with the other download sites.

pump said it, speed for free users depends on traffic they get
my usual is 2.3mbs, drops to 700kbs

You guys are way better off than me. I barely get 1mbps because I live in the boonies at the very end of the DSL run for my area. Sucks when you're paying for 1200 syncronous and get only a small portion of it.

I feel your pain. What's really bad is paying for premium service and still get a drop in speed.

I know, i actually feel pleased when it is at 250kbps and here people are complaing about it. The fastest download I have ever had in my life was a 700kbps torrent, and the slowest and 10kbps from megaupload.

It could be other reasons than the providers, such as network issues, especially if you're wireless.

For my part, I have crappy Verizon DSL, so my maximum DL speed is 350 KB/s, period... I take what I can get.

I've got the same problem the speed of Megaupload is lately low, I get most of the time around 200-300 to, this is rather painful, When I still had a free account it was around the 1.2 Mbps.... Premium is slower

Well, if you want great speed then it's better to buy a premium on a host that is usual slow, they reserved all speed for premium users.
