Unlimited speed for USA?

This is not fair... :(We stick with 250 KB/s and they get unlimited speed :(Is this an bug, or what?

they dont get unlimited speed... if theres no speed showing then the server is offline.

There's standing "Unlimited Speed".

only premium members get unlimited speed.

Loony, I can confirm this. I just went to download some arbitrary rom and it clearly says Unlimited Speed under the USA option. I have not actually downloaded anything to confirm the actual speed at which it downloads, but the label clearly says it.This is something you might want to look into.

I have been doing stress testing to determine whether there is an issue with the hard drives in the server. The easiest way to do this was to allow people to download as much as they want. Whether you consider that fair or not, I don't really care.

This is the North American server:

Could you please do that to the Europe server too?BTW, it was down today, around 14:00 in my time zone.

I tried downloading the first rom on the list and it averages about 150 KB/s, 170ish peak, so really it's not Unlimited.I don't see any injustice on a 170 KB/s download.

Haha why would I do it to the Europe server? I do not need to test the disks there. Regardless, I have had enough data for a while now so it's back to normal.

OK, so now it's solved? Then this can be locked.

I've said before that I'm not a fan of locked threads, if a thread needs to be locked then we can figure that out ourself thanks.

I Just tried to download a rom from the US server (yes i am in the US) and it took about 20 full seconds to open the box to download and even as a premium member it won't even hit 60k/s download. (started off at 12k/s then steadily got higher only to max out around 58k/s)
I Really hate not having the US server working at full speed because my speed on the EU server isn't anything spectacular either compared to how the US was.
Same file on the EU server.
Save box opened within 5 seconds, download speed was ~600k/s overall.
(used to get 900-1300k/s on the old US server)

Yeah, the low speeds are why I've been testing it, because I know something is wrong with it. I will be taking it offline soon to do a full check of all hardware to see what is causing it to be so slow. Worst case scenario we have to buy a new download server. =/

That wouldn't be too awful bad i suppose.
Depending on the downtime and cost vs how much you get from donations/members/point buyers.
Start of next month i plan to buy a few stacks of points to help both of us out a little. :)

I think I am gonna donate something or get Premium...
And more people could also help..

> implying mods need your permission to lock your threads

They'll only lock threads if it's gone way off topic or it's gone AWOL and not going in it's intended direction (unless the mod is cruel and likes to watch the carnage...I hope we don't have mods like that).Yoshi-Seph doesn't like locked threads because it's uninviting to look at on a forum, plus it leaves it open for people to ask for simerlar help (even though half the time they make a new thread anyway-or they just spam the current question thread and derail it :( )

Sometimes it can't be helped. Look in the Rom Request Section.

This time it can.
Seph has returned it to normal.

Is that a rule on here?

That's why I immediately delete locked threads on my forum.

That's why no one join yours.
