FeralHosting issue

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but basically, I have a seedbox over at FeralHosting.

I'm very pleased with it, I get great speeds, up and down.

However, when I want to transfer files to my PC off of the seedbox, the max speeds I get are around 250kb/s, which is very slow. I've tried from both FTP clients, and SSH programs.

My question is, is there any way I can improve the speed of downloading files off my FeralHosting seedbox onto my PC?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

So whats the advertised speed of your home connection ?

Advertised speed is 20megabits/second. Which is roughly 2.5mb/s, and when downloading via usenet/newsbins I reach speeds of 2mb/s easily, hence why I see this as a dramatic decrease.

Have you tried setting up a file transfer connection via HTTP?
They are comparatively much faster, Feral offers a guide for it, check there FAQ database.

Just tried that, the result was even slower, hitting a maximum of 52 kb/s.

Have you tried FileZilla over SFTP ?

Yes, Filezilla was resulting in speeds between 240 and 250 kb/s.

FTP or SFTP ?

Both, however I just tried SFTP once again and am now getting even less, around 90 to 140 kb/s

Strange .....

You appear not to be the only one with this problem. Maybe you can get a solution here.

Single file or multiple .rars (assuming its a movie for example) ?

If its a single file try using multi thread FTP programs instead of conventional ones

Technically though as mentioned HTTP download speeds are your best indicator as to the max achievable speed

I had the same problem with Feral.

There servers are from leaseweb based in America.

Wrong my friend, there servers are OVH lines and are based in Europe.
And for there price they are very good.

They are definately OVH Europe....

I found a solution to the issue, if I download via HTTP using JDownloader I can get decent speeds, almost maxed out on my home connection (I can hit around 2.2 mb/s), only for multiple RAR files though. On a single file It can reach about 600-700 kb/s, most of my downloads are split RAR's though so it looks like this solution will do for now.

Thanks for the help guys.

When I had the problem there staff told me that because I was from Europe and there servers are leaseweb american servers that could be the problem.

Maybe they changed but on there slots page it says leaseweb network.

Have spoken to the owner of feral hosting many times, his name is Josuha.

I think it says on there website that they rent the lines from OVH, but they could have been different in the past.

Nice to see another person from Dublin: )

Go to your FTP client's transfer settings menu and increase your connections to 10. On feral you should get 1 to 2 MB/s with your connection speed even with SFTP.

Tried that, same result. Jdownloader is my only option.
