[Benchmarking] Average Network Speed of some of the Popular File Hosts

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

For some freak reason, I got the speed... why would I lie? [trollface]
and about different locations: http://www.besthostingforums.com/1255181-post10.htm

and yeah, cowboy, File size: 1GB for all except Hotfile: 400MB, Mediafire: 200MB... I am not dumb you know? testing them with a 10MB -50MB file will be ridiculous!

MegaUpload: 6 MBps? It never crossed 400 KB/s

[tahaa]

On 1Gbps Connection:
Filepost upload speed for PPD =3.91mbps/file(mega bits per sec)
Filepost upload speed for PPS =40mbps/file(mega bits per sec)

other members max upload speed for filepost?

For some freak reason, I got the speed... why would I lie?

Why wouldn't you post screens? At least three people said impossible.

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

MegaUpload and Mediafire doesn't show the speed...

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

okkay... I made a slight miscalculation: missed a 0 for MegaUpload... [trollface]
so the actual upload speed of MegaUpload is 600 kBps

[m@ster]

this doesnt really make much sense coz:

1) it depends on country where you are located
2) it depends on country where are servers hosted (many hosts have different locations, i.e. USA+EU)
3) it depends on time of the day (evening = peak time)
4) it depends on particular load on the server (i can get 2 MB/s or also 100 kB/s on filesonic premium)

Pretty useless, because these benchmarks are only valid for your location.

And I am surprised about the upload speeds of Megaupload and Mediafire.

It is generally known that these hosts have very low upload speeds (not exceeding 500-600KBs).

I've uploaded to them from 1Gbs server and still got low speeds. Like to see screenshots.

As far as I know, SoftLayer's users can reach 3000+KB/s while they're uploading files to MediaFire.
That is, 100tb.com is able to get very high speed to MediaFire.

BTW, MegaUpload is down now.
I hope it's a temporary issue of their site.
