Weird Upload Behaviour / Speed from Kimsufi

KerberosKerberos Member

Hello everyone!

Hoping to pick some brains, re the upload speeds of my Kimsufi box (RBX). I'm thinking this must be a config issue on my end, but I'm just not sure where to look...

I'm trying to download a file from my Kimsufi box and getting about 50kbps down. I've tried transferring via sshfs, sftp and http. All downloads get about the same speed. I've tried downloading the 1Gb file from rbx.proof.ovh.net and I will get about 5Mb down (pretty much saturates my 50Mbit connection) so I don't think it's my connection to OVH.

I've also watched torrents seed at around 5-6Mb, with a few peers coming in at 1.5 / 2.0 Mb each, so I don't understand why if it's a config issue, torrents would seed so well.

I'm just at a loss as to why my file transfer to my local pc is so slow ...

Any ideas????

(Also I know LET isn't a help desk so if this isn't appropriate for LET, please let me know.)

    Something else is using the upload on your Kimsufi? Try using it to upload test file somewhere via ftp, or run speedtest-cli and check up speed.

    Are you behind their VAC firewall thing? That kills speed for me :(

    Care to message me the file link? I could test what speed I get to rule out it being a config issue with your sftp / http etc

    Not going to lie ... have no idea what that is.

    OVH's DDoS protection.

    Forgot to mention, checked the Control Panel and nothing else is uploading. That was my first thought, so I wanted to make sure.

    Got you. Just read about it on their website. Is there a way to "turn this off" to see if speed improves?

    I remember seeing reports of the same problem somewhere on OVH's forums.

    Did you check if the upload is slow just to your home (one location), or to anywhere? E.g. try downloading the file to your other VPS/dedis that you have, or if you don't have any, PM the link to me or @sc754 who posted above.

    If it's slow to anywhere, then contact OVH (I believe on Kimsufi they require this sort of thing to be reported via their forum). If just to one location, you could try contacting them as well, but with a much lower chance of getting it fixed.

    Great idea. Thanks! Tried and download to Jacksonville is pretty much MAX. It's just so bizarre that their proof.ovh.net test file downloads great, but the transfer from my specific dedi is so freaking slow.

    Could it be your ISP throttling your download from this specific IP because you downloaded too much from it?

    I have tried your link too, getting 7 MB/sec to a VPS in Europe, about the same to a RBX KS server, and 5 MB/sec to a home broadband connection in Russia.

    wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py

    chmod +x speedtest-cli

    ./speedtest-cli

    Thanks for checking!

    That I did :)

    Copying the file from RBX -> Jacksonville worked at about 5-6MB. From Jacksonville to LocalPC completed at about 1.5MB.

    Talk about weird.

  • How are your drive(s)?

  • @Acaton, any solutions? As I'm facing the same issue as well

    Turns out it looks like it was my firewall. That being said, I still only get about 1.5MB down from France to North America.

    Testing from other VPS's worked fine. After a reboot, the speed improved dramatically. Very weird.

    I'm still facing the same issue even after the reboot........... I really don't know why anymore
