dl.atrpms.net slow?

Anyone else notice that lately downloads from dl.atrpms.net are
extremely slow? I typically get less than 10 kBps when downloading
from here in California. It has made downloading the latest mythtv
updates quite painful.

I'm not sure where the bandwidth bottleneck lies, a traceroute shows a
large jump in latency between a level3.net router in Los Angeles and a
dfn.de router in Germany (that's quite a long ways to go in one hop!).

Access to the atrpms.net website, however seems to be quite snappy
despite the near 175ms latency, though.

I didn't respond immediately as I was waiting for others to comment on
this. It doesn't seem to be a problem that many are facing.

Note that latency and bandwidth are quite different, you may have a
large latency and still very good bandwidth performance, most large
ftp installations are that way. But you have both bad latency and
bad bandwidth :(

Perhaps it was a transient routing setup and if you try again there is
a saner traceroute path shown and nices bandwidth performance?

I'm having the same problem, I've been getting consistent download speeds
less than 10 kBps for about a month or two now. I believe the change
coincided with my change from AT&T DSL to AT&T Uverse (fiber optic) here in
Houston.

traceroute to dl.atrpms.net (130.133.35.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 2.179 ms 2.662 ms 3.131 ms
2 99-53-248-1.lightspeed.hstntx.sbcglobal.net (99.53.248.1) 10.460 ms
10.684 ms 10.908 ms

and it times out to each server from there on.

I'm trying to resolve it with AT&T first, but I was just curious if there
were others with the same problem.

I have noticed the slow download speeds (~10 kBps) as well for about the
same amount of time. I just checked my traceroute and everything appears to
be okay there (155ms) however. I don't have a whole lot more to add that
hasn't already been said, but I did want to mention that I had noticed it
too.

Cheers!

Hehe -- a little chicken and egg going on here: I didn't respond because I wanted to hear what Axel had to say...

I offer this merely as a data point -- about 2 wks ago I noticed ~8-9KB/s rate here in the SF bay area, California. Just confirmed that's still the case today.

It hasn't been of any concern to me as it's completely functional and the CPU doesn't seam to mind me spending quality time with the kiddos while it slurps down updates :)

As always, thank you Axel for the packages you provide to us!

Cheers,

~john
