11:00:22<HP_Archivist>Question: I'm testing a file that is ~100GBs in size which I recently uploaded. Testing, as in, downloading a copy from the item. Is there any way to download the file faster? I'm using the CLI but still receiving slower than ideal speeds. I'm on gigabit ethernet, so I'm assuming IA would be the bottleneck in this case.

11:51:59<@Kaz>HP_Archivist: where are you in relation to IA
12:26:44pabs (pabs) joins
12:59:48<HP_Archivist>Kaz: North East, Philadelphia. IA is in San Francisco.
13:14:48<HP_Archivist>That is, I am in the North East, specifically, in Philadelphia. *
13:30:55<@Kaz>I wouldn't expect amazing speeds, not only are you limited by the fact IA is always being slammed, but latency will do you no favours either
13:31:10<@Kaz>(do not expect to be able to pull from IA at a gig)
13:35:25<spirit>i had some better speeds by chaining multiple linodes through the US. of course that used up the free bandwidth of them quickly though
13:35:35<spirit>IA was lightning fast some years ago =(

14:58:27<HP_Archivist>Kaz: Understandable. Second question: I don't have the resources for this, but what if I had the chance to upgrade to a 3Gbps symmetrical plan with my ISP, would that yield significant speeds from/to IA?
15:01:20<HP_Archivist>Actually, based on what you said for only one gig, I guess that, too, answers my question for anything greater
16:13:01<@JAA>HP_Archivist: Your connection makes very little difference, it's all in IA's networking and the latency between you and them.
16:14:36<@JAA>I'm regularly pulling data from OVH BHS, which isn't terribly far away from you geographically. 500 kB/s are the height of pleasure.
16:16:00<@JAA>You could try downloading with parallel connections, but I wouldn't hammer it too hard.
16:25:23<spirit>~6 connections is what i do from germany for ~1MB/s

16:59:52<HP_Archivist>JAA: Thanks. I actually do not know how to go about doing that. How do I initiate parallel connections, even if it's 2-3, etc. ?
17:03:55<@JAA>HP_Archivist: aria2c is the easiest I know of.
17:11:52<spirit>aria2c --split 4 --max-connection-per-server 4
17:11:57<HP_Archivist>JAA: Thank you. Looking at that now. Will have to figure out how to set up for Windows
17:16:36<HP_Archivist>Think I got it set up. Easy enough.
17:16:45<HP_Archivist>And thanks spirit, appreciate the tip
17:30:13<HP_Archivist>Got it set up and running. Thank you again JAA / spirit
17:32:25<@JAA>:-)
17:37:35<spirit>have fun!

18:19:04<HP_Archivist>Nearly 76GB in under an hour. I'm impressed... is there anything like this that can support faster uploads to IA, too?
18:22:36<HP_Archivist>Or can aria2 also support uploading with parallel connections?

20:32:28<@JAA>HP_Archivist: Definitely not. Uploads of partial data are much more complicated than downloads. I wrote a script that can (ia-upload-stream in little-things), but IA's handling of such uploads isn't great, so I'm avoiding it anyway.
