RoPieee download is REALLY slow

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 8:53pm

Does anyone have an alternative D/L site? I’m only getting like 50kbps from the main page.

I"ve kicked my VPS. Maybe you can retry.

RoPieee has a lot of users, but the downside is that my VPS sometimes has a hard time.
Time for a proper CDN I guess…

No difference. When I originally downloaded it, it only took a few minutes to download. Now it’s at 13 hours.

spockfish · January 22, 2021, 9:04pm

that’s weird. I get about 15 MB/s…

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 9:05pm

I tested my connection and it’s fine. I tried downloading something else and it’s cooking along as well.

spockfish · January 22, 2021, 9:06pm

I really don’t get it. I’m at a steady 20+ MB/s.

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 9:07pm

Can someone else give it a shot, community folks?

Forgot to mention I’ve tried it on two computers, and tested wireless and wired.

Just checked – downloading at full speed here.

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 9:17pm

This is so weird. Like, every other download I’ve tried works just fine. I’ve rebooted my router as well.

Checked in UK - decent speed.

While streaming two movies and uploading a backup to S3. Looks okay to me.

I just tried downloading the Roon client and it gave me 15mbps. So I’m not sure why the RoPieee server hates me. This doesn’t make any sense.

spockfish · January 22, 2021, 9:25pm

I can assure you I don’t hate you

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 9:29pm

Well, I guess I’m setting up the new core sometime tomorrow. -_-

spockfish · January 22, 2021, 9:30pm

Where are you located? US?

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 9:30pm

Yep. Baltimore, MD.

John_Claude · January 22, 2021, 9:45pm

A friend of mine in Canada just tried and they got the same result as me.

spockfish · January 22, 2021, 10:00pm

wow. ok.

It seems that explains the difference: the other are either in the UK or in the Netherlands (just as me).
Although I’m not sure about @Martin_Webster

Nathan_Wilkes · January 22, 2021, 10:07pm

In Vancouver, Canada, very slow speeds (on a gigabit connection full duplex).

spockfish · January 22, 2021, 10:19pm

Hmmm that’s not good. I’ve contacted the help desk of my VPS provider.
