This is an often problem for me, most files when downloaded are downloading at a horribly slow speed. 20-40 Kb/s

Beatmap - http://osu.ppy.sh/s/48366

Consider getting Supporter.

The downloads are balanced by mirrors, which differ in location and speed.

Either way it should not be this low (this person contacted me by email so I suggested they post here).
I made some tweaks to settings today; did it help at all?

Yes, it's much better then what I was receiving before. It's around 300 KB/s.

Thanks

I'm still getting random 11-15 minute downloads on maps as well and I do am supporter.

For example this map: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/48366

edit: Oh wow, what are the odds that the topic was already about this map. I do get this sometimes on other maps as well though.

For what it's worth, every time I try either of the active beatmap mirrors it maxes my line (860KB/s). This hardly ever happens for me. The beatmap mirrors operate under capacity at all times and should never be slow. Non-supporters should never expect less than 200KB/s unless there is an issue with routing somewhere out of my control.

Have you looked into using a CDN such as Amazons Cloudfront or MaxCDN?

Or possible even Amazons S3.

Have you looked into the pricing? (Hint: it's expensive and I would go bankrupt in days)

I have, and then just realizing how much data you probably actually serve a month.

This sounds like it could be an ISP specific thing. I have heard that UK ISPs like to transparently proxy some connections.

Just for a general tip if people come back here wondering the same thing...

I remember having issues downloading from certain sites. I would get regular speeds in most places, but certain sites would be horrendous. After a year and a half of dealing with this, I learned that my router's firmware was horribly out of date. A quick google search told me how to update it, and now all of the sites work.

The only thing I can presume is that it's server locations.

I've done speedtests to Utah and Texas and get roughly about 2-3Mbp/s. When using speedtest mini on the server I manage in the US(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) I get around 10-18Mbp/s (http://www.gamezgalaxy.com/speedtest.html)

If it's 3 Megabit connection then that is your normal speed.

Confirmed that updating router wireframe worked, at least for me. I was using an old version and after the update the download speed returned to 700kb/s from 40-60kb/s, the same I had a week ago.

EDIT:
After a second download, the speed returned to 40-60 kb/s. :(

RE-EDIT:
The only way to get a fast normal speed for me is trying multiple times the same download. Usually after 2-4 attemps the beatmap is downloaded fast!
