We're investigating the possibility of switching web hosts pre-2.0, specifically with an eye towards getting better bandwidth to Asia - even with the mirror in HK there's still the frustrating experience of going to the online store / downloading keyfiles / etc from our poky US server.
So I'd very much appreciate it if a few people outside of the US could let me know about the ping times / download speeds for the following IP addresses / test files. To ping a server in Windows, just go to the Start menu, choose Run, and then type "ping " followed by the IP address.
206.251.72.1, http://nocnx.com/100mb.bin
72.37.185.1, http://webnx.com/100mb.bin
69.46.41.32, http://69.46.41.32/100mb.bin
72.232.23.203, http://speedtest.layeredtech.com/8mb.test.file.zip
72.232.210.203, http://speedtest2.layeredtech.com/8mb.test.file.zip
If you could also let me know your ping time / download speed for Pleco's server (IP is 64.91.238.95, downloads of course are at http://www.pleco.com/palmdownload.html or http://www.pleco.com/ppcdownload.html) for comparison that would be great. Ping / download speeds from our HK mirror server (203.194.198.182, http://www.pulike.com/mirror.html would also help.
We're trying to get test IPs / file addresses for a few other hosts too, so I may post them here in a few days.
Many many thanks,
