Slow Slow Slow BTG Downloads!!!

[bujrocks]

Just curious but are any of the west coast BTG members getting rediculously slow download speeds from Black-Tgirls.com??? I'm talking about less than 75KB/sec slow and it doesn't matter what time of the day, WTF??? Mr. Seanchai if you happen to have an explanation sir an answer would greatly be appreciated. I mean downloading takes forever out here. And before you ask I have Comcast high speed internet and I was downloading porn from another website with a consistent download speed of 1.5MB/SEC and maxed out at around 2.3MB/SEC. What gives???

And i'm not talking about just one day, this has been slow since I moved out here a month ago.

Just tested from a Holiday Inn wireless connection and it's no problem: 1.3mb/s

That dl speed you are getting is ridiculously slow. Can other people please let me know what they are getting?

Thanks for the feedback Seanchai and I really don't know why everything is so slow on my end. Like I said downloading content from other sites is extremely fast but BTG is sloooowwww! I just downloaded a 700mb movie on my home wireless connection and had an average download speed of 800kb/sec and now I'm downloading another vid from BTG and it's averaging 50kb/sec.

Typically when I downloaded from BTG in the previous states that I've lived in I will get average download speeds between 300kb-500kb which is OK, not great, but OK. Do you all place bandwidth restrictions on customers accounts or something, have I been blacklisted, lol???

I'm in the Bay Area and the less than 100kb/sec is not cutting it. I just want to get the most out of my membership. If you all figure it out please let me know, thanks Chief!

Actually yesterday I was getting really slow download speeds as well (about a 100Kb/sec.). But that is an anomaly.

On another note, you bankrollin' and staying at the Holiday Inn?

Try a tracert command from your windows command prompt (cmd) to www.black-tgirls.com and check for any 'hops' that time out or have a ping of more than 150ms. This would indicate a problem with a node that comcast use. I belive the btg server is in Europe somewhere so your requests will travel a certain route which might have issues. If this problem
occurs it will be an issue with comcast. Also you will find that this effects you in your current location only. Reporting it to comcast should mean they fix it but it usually takes them between a few days and a week before they realise a node is down so it shouldn't be too much to worry about as they normally fix the issue without anyone having to complain.

Oh and I forgot to add to perform a tracert in this case after you open cmd you type 'tracert www.black-tgirls.com' without the quotes.

PiedPiper,

Thanks for the advice, I ran the cmd function that you recommended and I saw that on the second line of code that something "timed out". I've attached a screen shot maybe this stuff makes more sense to you. So what exactly should I tell Comcast when I explain this to them??? I don't want to tell them that I am having problems downloading BTG porn and can they fix it on their end, lol!!! So what's the technical lingo that I need to tell them??? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Sorry that attachment is actually to small to read. But the second line of the search said that the "Request Had Timed Out"

Yes the server is in Amsterdam.
No I'm not in the Holiday Inn ... but I know who is ;-)

Try the same tracert on millenniumtga.com - you can then contact comcast and ask them what the problem is (if the result is the same which I suspect it is) - they are on the same server.

Thanks for your help everyone!

PS - we do actually have a download limit but it's rarely reached (a few times in a year) and more to stop people ripping the site or doing an attack on it.

Im downloading around 1.4 mb/s here in SoCal..

Hi,

There have been some reports of a DNS issue affecting some ISP's on the west coast although this shouldn't impact the download speed it does appear to be somehow related to this issue.

I'll explain a little.

The correct IP address for BTG is 62.93.229.147 but some IPS's appear to be reporting it as a different IP - 208.68.139.89

I would appreciate any more tracert outputs or ping outputs to help us narrow down this problem.

I can be emailed traceroutes or ping results directly on neil@grooby.com

Thanks

Neil
