Re: hello guys

I was surprised to hear that a machine outside Israel is giving a better bandwidth than a machine inside Israel, connected one hop from the Israeli Internet eXchange (IIX), so I tried your download: $ wget http://www.host1.co.il/mirrors/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip --07:17:33-- http://www.host1.co.il/mirrors/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip => `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' 07:18:47 (95.56 KB/s) - `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' saved [7120037/7120037] And then the same file from my mirror: --07:21:30-- http://il.php.net/distributions/php-4.3.9-Win32.zip => `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' 07:22:07 (193.12 KB/s) - `php-4.3.9-Win32.zip' saved [7120037/7120037] My DSL line capacity is ~195KB/s. Now I did this test when the international communications lines are pretty "clear", at 7:20am. I would guess that at 10pm, when the "international" internet is really busy, I'll get even lower download speed from your host. And some more: --- il.php.net ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 18.022/18.658/19.375/0.541 ms --- host1.co.il ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 186.595/187.394/188.102/0.753 ms ???
