D-link Drivers are very slow downloading
« on: January 26, 2009, 05:50:58 PM »
Hi All and Support,

I am downloading a Driver Update from D-Link and the Speed is under 6 kbps.

How come?

Tried different sites and the speed is blazing fast.

I tried uploading two small attachments with this message, but it said that the Upload directory was not writeable.

Sounds like a Dlink server problem.

So what? the largest downloadable package is a few Megabytes. I got a 30 Kb/s download speed. Took me less then a minute to download the firmware. If a minute is already an issue you might consider taking some time management courses.  ;)

I've been spending too much time on the forum. Which might cloud my judgment as to the importance of issues  ;D

Or buy a coffee machine, come back home and make a cup to stay awake.
By the way it took me less than a minute too and that`s from Turkey at a lousy 1 MB connection.

Or (laat die zeikerds effe lekker in hun vet gaar smoren)

Slow download caused by DNS-resolution problem? ;)

Indeed...hahaha. Too tempting to let it go..."laat die zeikerds effe lekker in hun vet gaar smoren": met peper en zout.

We're doing maintenance on our hardware here. Should be resolved soon.

I'd expect at least a full 1MB/s from a company of D-Links caliber.

If you can not achieve that in house then the company really should be using a content delivery network (CDN) such as these listed here:

You're quite demanding. Do you really need that extra 30 sec. gain for a 2 MB firmware file? Sorry for the moral judgment but I guess you still got a lot to learn about priorities.

PS: this will increase the price of a router (if you have any knowledge of how a business works, I'll gladly explain it to you).

We're doing maintenance to the servers. We're not operating full capacity. I'm locking this thread as it's completely ridiculous and not product oriented.
