    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Downloads Seem to be throttled to 56k

I'm trying to DL Ed's Moose Creek scenery and only getting 56kbps. Is the site having technical issues?

That particular file only has had 37 hits.

So my guess is that speeds have indeed been throttled back.

If there is a need to throttle back, no problem. But it only seems fair to inform (paying) members about it.

Just sayin'

I agree about download speed. In the past, I always had enjoyed very fast download speeds with SOH at the speed of 2 mb per second. But since 2 or 3 weeks ago, it went down to 28 kb per second which made it almost impossible for me to download fast. 2 days ago, I downloaded Buffalo livery painted by world famous Jankees at the speed of 56 kb per second which took me 50 minutes to download a single livery.

What happened to wonderful blazing fast 2 mb per second download speed that SOH is famous for??

It may have escaped your notice that admins have been moving the site to a new server, but they have been. That’s why download speed was reduced, but I expect speeds to pick up again when everything is done.
 
Hairyspin,

Thanks for kind answer and I look forward to resumption of high speed downloading

By the way, I just right now have experienced new kind of forum glitch problem. For first time, the replying post no longer has quote function. I could not use quote function on your statement above.

Weird Quote function was working yesterday

Strange, works for me.

For what it's worth, I grabbed a couple of files earlier just to see how they came down and I hit 1Mbs on each file (one was 68+ Mb zipped and the other was 41+ Mb zipped).

Quote function worked fine here.

Please try again.

Was the button just not there or was it there and not working. If not working what happened when you clicked the button.

Thanks
 
Opus,

The quote function is working now. Must be one time glitch problem.

Thanks for your kind concern.

Just to let the management know that yesterday I downloaded 100 MB size Jankees livery at the much improved speed of 200 kb per second which took me about 8 minutes to complete the download which is certainly far better than 28 kb or 56 kb per second. But I miss regular 2 mb per second download speed of SOH library.

Regards,

Aharon
 
Just like Tako_Kichi 1 Mbps. Never had those speeds on SOH before. I'm happy!

I am still working out what the server can handle in the download department. I just increased them again across the board.
 
Allow me to second that remark- from my perspective, the move to the new server seemed to go very seamlessly. That doesn't happen with out a lot of hard work!

Thanks! -Mike
