    Why you use old firefox?

    Might be coincidence, but I get better results my way.

    Qualityservers UK (12 quid a year XEN) - 11.7MB/sec

    Veeble DE - 11.6MB/sec (This used to be gbit, seems limited to 100mbit now :/ )

    Qualityservers US - horrendous. like 5mbit or something. I got bored waiting for the 100MB file to download, but it was at:

    I'll open a ticket, maybe that node is having problems. They answer pretty fast usually, so I'm not too worried about it.

    No such thing as a reverse Wget, unfortunately.

    Sure there is. It's called ftp/sftp. :)

    Download from your vps to either your home computer or another vps and see what you get.

    Hardly the same. Most people don't have home net that'd even get close to 100mbit, never mind gbit.

    I don't understand why datacentres/hosting providers seem to ignore the inbound speeds when selling their service. We're not all hosting websites. I'd love to see a provider have an anonymous write-only FTP setup that deletes the files once they're complete, so we could test a provider's inbound speed before going with them.
