How good are the inbound network speeds in Hosthatch?
I'm doing a large backup between UltraVPS and Hosthatch and the speeds are very slow, averaging about 1 Mbps hence my earlier question.
Both VMs are in Amsterdam and speeds should be much faster between them.
The speed has been maximum and steady 1 MiB/s and it makes me wonder if there is some deliberate throttling or capping going on somewhere. I would expect to be fluctuating as loads changed but it has been steady.
Hosthatch does a lot of storage servers and I wonder if their network gets overwhelmed.
Any experiences with both providers as regards network speeds?

HostHatch, Amsterdam Storage server, looks alright , wget hetzner FSN1 test file
try wget this file on both of yours , see how it goes
MTR ? Both directions ?
There is definitely a problem with Hosthatch. The node I'm using must be capped. The speed is averaging 550KB/s and the time estimate is about 30min.

I've transferred about 50Gb inbound already so they must be throttling the download speeds to my account, but honestly if they are capping it is still too low.
This the figure for UltraVPS
check download, if upload might be a problem?
when I download from other place, this is "inbound" to hosthatch server, right ? or am I mistaken something ?
Yes, right.
any chance you are over your quota for the month?
I can't be over my quota, and this is the first time I'm using the server after its installation.
I've just transferred about 200GB in about 2 days and that seems to have triggered the throttling.
I doubt you ran into any throttling.
I have transferred 8TBs to my storage server at hosthatch in one day and had to limit the speed on my end because I was saturating my 2.5gbps fiber connection.
What could be the problem then? It is a stock install from their own templates.
When I transferred the data out it was the same issue. 1 MiB/s on each connection.
I am not sure, but it seems you are the only one experiencing this problem, everyone else who has responding is getting 2gbps+.
I was just letting you know I personally have experienced no throttling on their end. I have done multiple multi TB transfers with no throttling.
Have you attempted transfers to/from another location? Have you opened a ticket with them?
Have you tried contacting the support?

What does this mean? Is it the destination IP that has been limited or the Hosthatch server itself?
Who is doing the limiting? Is it the nws.sh script itself?
It's a speedtest thing. Too many runs in a row, wait for 1 hour.

There is definitely a problem with the download speeds.
Another fact is that the high speed of Eranium is skewing the results.
The script needs to be changed to accommodate it. A single unusual location should not distort the summary.
Has HH responsed to your ticket yet? This could be a bad nic on the host or switch port. Otherwise, you probably need mtr traces to see why you had that one good download and the rest sucked.
Lastly, download speedtest from their site and test one of the hundreds available from command line rather than 12 minute scripts each time.
0.19 ms.. nearest server was around the corner.
The Eranium location looks like it is in the same data or very nearby and it shouldn't even count in the North America tests.=
Rather than go back and forth with Hosthatch support🙄🤔 over the issue I decided to blow away the installation and reinstall from scratch. The figures look more normal now, but the acid test will be those 3 simultaneous multi-gigabyte downloads.
Here are the latest figures from nws.sh
Another question - if you reinstall the server, does the default template leave the storage volume untouched?
After the reinstall I can't see the partitions there with
blkid. In principle they should still be there.I suspect a manual reinstall should leave the storage volume untouched. The problem is if I did a manual install it would be harder to diagnose the problem in relation to the base setup.
Note that if you reinstall the vps from the panel on hosthatch you could be assigned a different node based on their internal algorithms. The new node may not have the bandwidth issue altogether.
This the acid test with 3 transfers run simultaneously and they were all a minimum f 12MB/s.
Is that fast enough?
No, it's gone.
I don't think you're really doing any diagnostics...
Download the speedtest-cli app from speedtest.net website/repo.
Use the command to list all the speedtest servers. Start with the lowest latency servers and run individual tests to them. Keep going further away until it goes from 10Gbps bidirectional to asymmetrical 10Gbps/1Gbps. Report those findings to HH. They fix their routes. Done.
At that rate my monthly quota may run out before I finish, but I'll give that a try.
It's way more efficient than using that script over and over. You should also monitor your usage in the panel.
