Download speed issues?

UniqueNY · 2015-11-14 15:56:18

Is anyone else having severe download speed issues downloading from here and/or IFM? I know it's not on my end as I have checked other sites and downloads from them don't appear affected.

Kilrogg · 2015-11-14 16:15:21

Yes. I also have a very slow download speed. The download speed is about 10 KB/s

UniqueNY · 2015-11-14 17:25:28

It was that for me, but then went up to 20 about 10m ago.

zbeast · 2015-11-14 21:10:10

HORRIBLE HERE... less than 1MB per minute.

Mistermozart · 2015-11-14 23:23:50

The download speed has made my subscription worthless in the last two days. Videos freeze a couple of seconds after they start; they can be revived for only a few seconds and then they freeze.. Other sites and videos run fine for me; so it's a BA issue. Administrators, what is happening?

Here's what Richard said over on the IFM forums yesterday, which I believe he means to be true for all Feck sites:

There is a network blockage in the US, which is nothing to do with us but is slowing down access to our sites. We expect it will be resolved soon. If any of you know how to do a tracert you could confirm that. Unfortunately we don't have the infrastructure of companies like Google/YouTube etc so you could reach us by other routes.

Mistermozart · 2015-11-15 20:12:32

What do you mean, Richard, by "you could reach us by other routes?" And thanks UniqueNY for the information.

UniqueNY · 2015-11-16 02:09:33

I'm going to take a punt that he means that sites with larger infrastructure aren't affected by outages at single points, hence "other routes".

Mistermozart · 2015-11-16 04:13:35

Thanks.

Haven't had any problems here in Northeast U.S. (Comcast)

UniqueNY · 2015-11-16 18:11:01

That might be the first thing Comcast has ever been good at

UniqueNY · 2015-11-16 18:14:54

Woops, retract that. Looks like all is back to normal.

Hi everyone,
I joined yesterday,and whilst I love the format and concept,the speeds have been terribly slow and unsatisfactory,completely spoiling enjoyment of the site.Everything else on my computer is running normally,and I do hope this is but a glitch.

I've got many troubles here in France, trying to download videos since several days. It can take me up to 2-3 hours, with many failures. I've tried with Firefox, Opera, Safari...and the results are still awful. The speed can be as low as 5-6 ko/s.

in timezone utc+1 it is for weeks now costantly very slow during the evening and night (30KB/s), during the morning hours its up to 1000 KB/s (could be 5000KB/s though on my side).

can i do anything to help finding out where slowdown might be?

meuterik · 2016-01-04 21:42:52

Here also very slow download: 1087 kbit/s
(Germany)

meuterik · 2016-01-31 16:03:19

Well. actual low download with 30-100kb. Are you set down the download speed rate?

sirgeorg · 2016-02-20 16:23:46

on location and on the time of the day (UTC+1 here)
a general speedtest shows me 50mbps (down) and 10mbps (upload)

but just BA gives me ~30kb/s (during some time of the day, in more silent times it reaches ~1000 kb/s)

i would be glad, if the admins would take care of this annoying issue

sirgeorg · 2016-02-22 20:21:56

:-(
for some days now:
30KB/s in the morning time
13KB/s during the evening times (utc+1)

thats no fun anymore

Thre days ago I ran a tracert to all the Feck sites as a curiosity... The only subscription I have is BA which has not expired yet, and up to 7:00 this morning, BA was sill OK...
This morning, sometime between 7:00 and 10:00, I wasn't able to play anything anymore and as a curiosity, I ran tracert again,and it did not show any time outs or anomolies.... It is now 17:40 EST and I still can't play anything... The player just sits there with a spinning white graphic... I tried to download a file, after 30 minutes for a 60mb file, the download ceased... Only 54mb came down and the file is corrupt.

So... This is just a general notice... and only here so I don't forget the dates...
I will update the info once I am able to download again... Hope it's before this subscription expires...
