  1. ^I really wouldn't bother with running a tracker if speed is your only concern. Particularly not on a US server. Maintaining a tracker properly is a huge amount of work.

    Put it this way, neither OVH nor Leaseweb care about what you do with your server (e.g. if you are running a torrent client on there) unless they receive abuse notices or DMCAs and the like.

    Stick with one of those two providers, use private trackers, obviously keep your FTP secured and you won't go far wrong. OVH's Kimsufi range will give you greatest bang for your buck: http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml

  2. OP, if your problem is speed from non-Thai peers a far easier solution would be to simply rent a server in a decent European datacenter (i.e. one that a lot of other peers will be using like OVH or Leaseweb) and FTP your files back.

    I'm in Thailand and my (properly configured) FTP client almost always maxes out my connection from my OVH server in France.

  3. Ah yes, that word 'unlimited' again. Has ever a word been so abused as of late?

    In fairness, as I've said above, I've never experienced any data limits and throttling in around 6 years of using True internet and I download a shit ton of data. Maybe that will change, but it's certainly been the case up to this point.

    On the upside, since the issue has been resolved, my modem is reporting 15 down, 1 up (my plan is 13/1), which is pretty sweet.

  4. To test the theory, I rented another server on Comex in the UK. At the same time I was getting virtually nothing down from my OVH server in France, I was getting full speed from the Comex in the UK, so in the end I suspect some kind of peering issues between True and OVH rather than throttling.

    That should be Cogent, not Comex.

  5. ^Thanks for that info lop. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who knows what these limits are and to what plans they apply.

    As I stated above, I FTP sometimes for 12-14 hours straight and have never noticed any significant drop in speed. Multi-threading with CuteFTP maxes out my connection from OVH in France. In fact, I even have to throttle the connection in the client to 1,000 KB/s or it overpowers everything else.

  6. ^It's a fair point and one that occured to me yesterday. To test the theory, I rented another server on Comex in the UK. At the same time I was getting virtually nothing down from my OVH server in France, I was getting full speed from the Comex in the UK, so in the end I suspect some kind of peering issues between True and OVH rather than throttling.

    The data limit on my True plan is listed on my account page as 'unlimited.'

  7. Is it true (arf arf) that if you download too much via True Internet they reduce your speeds for the next 24 hrs ?

    I've never experienced any kind of throttling from True and I FTP stupid amounts of data from my server. Like 20-30 GBs per day sometimes.

    I have to say True were excellent when I called them yesterday and they even sent some tech dude over today, albiet by the time he arrived the issue seemed to have been resolved, presumably by their network people.

  8. Anyone have battery issues after the patch? I've read online that it's safer to do a restore in iTunes and then recover from backup vs. the incremental update. Doing that now, tested this morning, I had 4% / hour battery drain without using the phone after the 6.1 update.

    No battery issues with 6.1 plus the JB, but then I restored the firmware in iTunes then restored a backup.

    You should also bear in mind that those OTA updates usually mean that you can't restore an old firmware using blobs (assuming the devs find a way to restore 6.x after the window closes), so you're probably safer using an iTunes restore anyway.

  9. Thanks lomatopo. Local speeds are fine. It's international speeds that are the problem. Almost non-existent.

    Could you try downloading the 1 Gbit file from here and let me know what kind of speed you're getting? It's hosted on a OVH 10Gbps server and I'm currently getting around 6KBs per second on a 13/1 True ADSL line!
