I stand corrected as I cant find it there haha . Its obvious that they dont do that anyway looking at gpforums with people downloading as much as they want . Tell that to the GO Large customers - a huge number either walked, or were getting some form of ongoing compensation from Telecom . Go Large was a balls up from the get go and continued to be one, not suprised people walked from that . You are kidding, right? Why on earth would you back up a server via HTTP? Use rsync or something, you'll do far better with that . I did try things like rsync to see which would get the best speed but for me all were quite limited as in never above 50kB/s, HTTP was the fastest option available .	FlashZ (15743)

Indeed... and from where I sit, Big Time looks like pretty much the same thing.

Using rsync to pull a diff for 300GB at 50k/sec will almost always be far faster than pulling the entire 300GB over HTTP at a much higher speed - the only exception to that is if your data has almost 100% volatility between backups - which would mean that what you're actually backing up is a seedbox or something similar. Also, try piping rsync through openssl on port 443 - that should hopefully get you some improvement in speed; as far as the traffic management is concerned it'll just look like HTTPS traffic.

Thanks for the suggestion about piping though ssl, I'll definitely give that a try. Cant believe I didnt think of that before.	FlashZ (15743)

Here's my results; Using the Firefox download manager, with no referrer trick; average swing range - 30-50Kb/s, average overall - 35Kb/s, peak - 80Kb/s, stopped after - 11Mb. Using Free download manager, with 12 threads, and no referrer trick; average swing range - 130-180Kb/s, average overall - 170Kb/s, peak - 185Kb/s, stopped after - 20Mb. Using Free download manager, with 12 threads, using referrer trick; average swing range - 170-190Kb/s, average overall - 180Kb/s, peak - 195Kb/s, stopped after - 25Mb. It seems that, for archive.org at least, the gains are small. Don't know if it matters, but the full referrer I used was http://www.youtube.com/	ubergeek85 (131)

879871	2010-04-30 07:36:00	It might just be that archive.org limits it's upload to share it round, I dunno. Either way, I didn't get 500Kb/s down. I guess I'll have to try it on another site.	ubergeek85 (131)
