Any one else getting REALLY slow speed today?
As we speak im hitting 8.44KB/S, ive downloaded with other providers and no speed issues there, so it is hotfile.

I suppose the backlash from rapdishare falling apart has finally caught up on their servers.

I kept my rapidshare account so I can just fall back on that for the mo. Hopefully the issue will be resolved promptly.

Im thinking I should have done the same, i bought a fivers worth of points to download the full 7 seasons of Knightmare, so I have some traffic left, but still I hope hotfile isnt like this for too long.

www.fileserve.com, seems to be used a lot now.

Using Jdownloader and IDM and it seems certain Hotfile servers are giving slow speeds (my guess is some throttling going on when certain servers are maxed out). Most of their files are maxing out my connection but certain files just trickle along at 10-20 kbps.

Never had this problem with Rapidshare, Megaupload and Megashares.

I agree, notice hotfile to be much slower than the like of rapidshare etc... Its cheaper but I would expect a better service... Premium member btw..

Yup same here, you can see why people are moving away from hotfile already.
I wonder if you emailed them and said your not providing full speeds as advertised, what would they have to say.

waster81 · 14-10-2010, 17:57

Yeah been really slow last couple days

jeffk · 14-10-2010, 18:03

You can get away with it if you use 3 or 4 downloads @ once, then you hit full speed. But for say videos that isn't always an option.

Not for me. Even when downloading say 4-5 files I'm rarely getting above 300KB/s..roughly 60-70KB/s per file.
