XFileSharing Pro - Random slow storage server

[karvaly]

Dear users,

I have a storage server with nginx and sometime the upload speed is very low. Usually the upload speed (for me) 650kb/s and then something will be wrong and my upload speed is 250kb/s

Please add me a good advice how can I solve this problem.

Thank you very much!

There can be so many reason for that.
Maxed linkspeed 100 or 1000Mbit kills the upload speed.
Maxed disk IO kills the upload speed
Bad Datacenter routing / oversale of the link kills the upload in peak.

You need to post info related to:
Your port speed on the server
Your datacenter you have the server in
What disk setup do you have.

Thank you for your answer.

- 1Gbs port speed
- 100Tb.com where my storage server in
- I don't know the disk setup :S

Unfortunetly I'm not an IT expert. I know I'm dumb, but I have a very small sharing site and I try to make with low budget.

At the moment this server is working perfectly. Upload speed is 650Kb/s.

So....this is very interesting.

get a server administrator, he will figure it out

without server access we can only speculate what is the cause

Thanks ankurs your advice.

So....here is my atop results. I guess the 16Gb RAM is the problem. Someone agree with me?

Disk load is only 3%, don't see that as a issue.

Increasing ram will be a overkill.

Thank for your answer. If the RAM is enough and the disk load is not much, why slow the premium download speed?

I give for every premium member 1024kb/s per slot download speed, they can download only 100-125Kb/s.

Ram is ok, in this condition.

Speed will vary from location to location, it all depends on routing. Are the down loaders from same country/continent ? As the server.

[karvaly]

I have only one file server in UK (100tb.com)

My downloaders are all around the world. For example I'm in Hungary and my download speed 150Kb/s (at evening CET). Why I download at morning the download speed is much better (1Mb/s)

Maybe there is a possibility to limit premium download slot?

[::Roy::]

i am also going to buy server.
i want to take 8 gb ram.

it will work good or will give problems

its my full spec

HP DL120G7
Intel E3-1230
8GB RAM
4x1000GB HDD
100TB traffic on GigE port

one my friend said that 16 gb ram is must

tell me your openion

this could be a issue with your isp, try it from various locations and see

if there isnt much disk load, then its your datacentre or isp issue
