Very bad performance downloading from Digital Ocean VPS (HTTP)
On my DO "droplet" located in NY I consistently get dismal HTTP download performance. I have tried HTTP download from multiple locations. Here is one test from a BuyVM VPS:
xxx@bvm:~$ wget -O /dev/null http://198.211.100.5/test.dat
... 10,485,760 74.5K/s in 2m 2s
A droplet from the same VM snapshot at the Amsterdam location performs better:
xxx@bvm:~$ wget -O /dev/null http://198.211.124.199/test.dat
... 10,485,760 1.62M/s in 7.6s
Anyone else experiencing similar problems? Do you get the same results when downloading those files.

Delete the droplet then create a new one.
@Spencer Did that multiple times even with different droplet sizes. Performance was always similar. Maybe they always stick me on the same bad node.
I am under the belief that DigitalOcean's US bandwidth is extremely oversold. I get horrible transfer speeds. Their Amsterdamn location is probably less popular, and yes it is faster. Scary thing is sometimes it's faster to work on an Amsterdamn node from the US than it is to be on a US node.
@kryps I was also facing slow download problem them.I have left them already though I have still 20$ credit to my account
@murky Ticket was opened seven hours ago. They told me "We are going to review this." four hours ago.
No. From Choopa (New Jersey):
Wasn't it unlimited bandwidth? What are you complaining about.
lol,They have now limit on transfer .But network is more oversold than 99% of the providers here
@MiguelQ Maybe they got a direct pipe to you. I just measured again and performance is still abysmal (<100KB/sec) from OVH FR, BuyVM LAX, ...
I wouldn't call it a "direct pipe", but it is closer than OVH FR and BuyVM LV for sure:
Yes, guys, God forbid you should talk about a provider's performance on a VPS forum. Come on.
k
RamNode doesn't give me 2000MB/s IO. (((((
You must be too scared to tell support I guess! Go open a ticket and don't ever post on a forum about performance!
Get a room
Haha. Now I'm almost certain you are gubbyte.
I thought maybe he was subigo?
Yes, must be.
Ramnode is more stable and predictable that DO
At least we know now. The DO fanboy has a new name...
Funny guy, you are.
Sometimes.
But we have something in common. I am triggered by you like you are triggered by DO. Time for me to meet the people at Betty Ford again. I was way funnier while still on drugs
From DO to Ramnode I get:
2013-02-26 18:04:10 (19.3 MB/s) - `test100.zip' saved [104874307/104874307]
DO to Ionity:
2013-02-26 10:05:16 (19.0 MB/s) - `test100.zip' saved [104874307/104874307]
So not sure why yours is so slow. Perhaps open a ticket?
@luma Did you try their official DL links? Those are faster for me too. Please try with the download links I posted above.
I used my own VPS in New york with them. I grabbed the 100 meg test file from Softlayer and put it on my VPS at DO and then used a few other VPS' to test it.
From 1gb on a 10gb uplink in NY:
What's surprising is this is pure cogent -> cogent.
Definitely DO is maxing out their pipe, or they are limiting your outbound bandwidth.
And to the amsterdam:
Still, for the price can you complain?
Maybe his Node is maxed but not the network as I am consistently getting 15-20MB/s (see above post by me)
@luma url of your test file?
I will pm you (and anyone who wants it) but I don't want to paste the ip here in the forum)
Sure - will be interesting to see the results vs @kryps ip - I'll just share the download rate
Well, @luma is right - downloading his test file from DO in NY I get very different results:
Ping is even a bit less
What's interesting is that the trace is identical to DO
So that does indicate some sort of node or at least switch specific issue with @kryps vm --- or perhaps they are actually limiting you for some reason.
