New mirrors are slow !

Postby xerces8 » 03 Sep 2010 23:33

The new download mirrors (sourceforge) are much slower than the old ones.

Is there nothing that could be done?

An official bittorrent?

Now I use download accelerators, but I doubt the mirror admins condone it.

Orders of magnitude.

For example I just tried to download the windows exe installer and got 345 KB/sec (according to Firefox download window) download speed.

Before I got above 1 MB/s.
