I need some international downloaders to help test S3 download speeds

[sdsumike619]

I'm doing some speed tests with Amazon S3 and just curious to see what kind of speeds people throughout the world are getting. I've uploaded a 92MB zip file to buckets in 3 regions. If you'd like to help, please reply with your location, what type of internet connection you're using, the bucket(s) you downloaded from, and the average speed in KB/sec that the file downloaded from the bucket(s). I'm most concerned with people that are physically located far away from the bucket. So, for example, a good test would be someone in New Zealand downloading from the Ireland bucket, you get the idea....

Ireland bucket:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/irelandtestbucket/avast_free_antivirus_setup.zip

Northern California bucket:
https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/norcalbuck/avast_free_antivirus_setup.zip

Sao Paulo bucket:
https://s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com/saopaulobuck/avast_free_antivirus_setup.zip

Thanks for your help!

Northern California to Southern California: ~1.9 MB/s
Sao Paulo to Southern California: ~1.2 MB/s

Thanks guys, so far so good. Seems S3 speeds are pretty consistent. I was concerned that I might need to use Cloudfront which is Amazon's CDN, but 700KB/sec+ is perfectly acceptable for downloading even large files.

wow 700MB/s? 5.6 Gb/s that's a nice pipe jag!

[sdsumike619]

I'm sure he meant KB/s for the 700

[aedipuss]

it was a jest

[jagabo]

LOL. Sorry. Yes it was 700 KB/s. I fixed the post.

Ireland bucket: 4,000 KB/s
Northern California bucket: 360 KB/s
Sao Paulo bucket: 315 KB/s

KB/s = kilobytes per second. Speeds from Firefox.

from Amsterdam (The Netherlands) on a 100Mbps connection.
