Hi everyone,
Since we moved to dolphin-emu.org I've heard a few people complain about the download speed from our servers. Unfortunately I've never been able to diagnose this issue, but now I might have an idea and I need all of you to test something to confirm that idea is right.
Basically, what I need every one of you to do:
- Download http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/100mb.bin (you don't need to download all of it, just enough to check your average connection speed)
- If the download speed is less than what you'd expect with your internet connection, please give me the following information: the speed you got, the speed you expect, your country (and state if you're in the US), your ISP, and the result of a traceroute to dolphin-emu.org (see below if you don't know how to do a traceroute).
To make a traceroute, here is how you should proceed on Windows:
- Open a command window (Windows+R, "cmd")
- Type "tracert dl.dolphin-emu.org" (without the quotes)
- Wait for the tracert to stop printing stuff
- Copy paste or upload a screenshot where all the tracert output is visible
On OSX and Linux: open a shell, type "traceroute dl.dolphin-emu.org", copy-paste all the traceroute output.
I'm also interested in the average download speed you get for http://dolphin-emu.org/m/user/100mb.bin if you have some time to try.
Thanks in advance to all of you!
