Tom Speirs Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I am pleased to announce our server has now moved to a host which offers much better speeds to users ouside of the USA. e.g Europe. I would like to take a moment to thank Jeremy of EmuMovies for help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I saw Jeremy was touting this on Facebook. Hope the transition was a smooth one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hope the transition was a smooth one! It was not without the odd issue but overall it was pretty smooth. I took care of it all and had to transfer nearly a terrabyte across the net.I think Jeremy will be doing an announcment shortly too as EmuMovies content (the majority of the transfer) was also migrated.So far so good but its early days We generally have better network connectivity for all now and a more resiliant storage system so it is good for everyone.

Adultery Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Always good to hit a few snags. Keeps ya sharp. Man, I'd be migrating for weeks with a TB! Lol! So you two sharing a dedicated server then? That's pretty sweet! Lower BW costs and higher speeds are always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 So you two sharing a dedicated server then?We always were. Although he has another server too. We made the decision to switch hosts when the current contract was up which is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Well what do ya know! You guys are more business savvy than I gave you credit for!I guess it makes sense now that I think about it with the Games Database tapping EmuMovies artwork.Two of my favorite sites are roomies!

wobbly Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 just a quick question about this ....should this speed-up the download of gameex update ? i just updated gameex . i could not see any improvement in download speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The major change was a direct pipe to Europe, Australia wouldn't necessarily be affected by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbly Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just curious, what sort of speed do you get if you do a manual download?just tried it then i only get between 30-70 kb/sec i have a 2 meg connection it seem to stay round 30 kb most of the time ... some time ago it was a lot quicker , i dont know what has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm sorry to hear that in other part of the world things are not always better, but I can confirm that here in Europe (Italy) the site is 30-40% faster to browse. I'll try the download speed later.just tried it then i only get between 30-70 kb/sec i have a 2 meg connection it seem to stay round 30 kb most of the time ... some time ago it was a lot quicker , i dont know what has changedOccasional low-download speed could happen from time to time. This can be caused by several temporary reasons. It already happened to me, too, to download GameEx or GameEx extra content from the site at 30-70 kbps, but in the majority of times the speed was considerably higher. You could just try several times in different hours to get a more precise idea of what's happening in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been about a year ago. When it was in Germany we had slow speeds to the US. Its quite difficult I have found to get good speeds everywhere in the world unfortunatly.

hansolo77 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm in the US, and I can honestly say I've never really noticed any major slow downs. There may have been a hiccup or two, but you usually report it when it's happening. Been going fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Ive been able to test US speeds today and I don't know if its better but its certainly very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
