I am having a weird issue with a dedicated server I have that I haven't really encountered before and is beyond my basic knowledge. It's a plex server, if that makes a difference. Can I post questions about how it runs/how it works in here and get some support? Or is there a better place to post?

Bob Morales posted:Ask. Worst case if nobody has any ideas they can direct you to a thread where someone else might know Okay! So I have this plex server in Finland that I've had as a shared server for a few years now. I just upgraded to a dedicated one and unfortunately was getting similar (very slow) sftp and browser download speeds. I went back and forth with support who was a huge help, but after learning about and doing MTRs from the server to me, me to the server, and the server to a friend in my city on a different isp who gets speeds I would expect, the problem lies in about 85%-90% packet loss at a single point through a tier 1 company called Telia. The internet is full of complaints about them it seems, but is there anything I can do to route through someone who isn't telia? I figure that's up to my ISP but I don't know a lot about this stuff and am in a bit over my head. The only solution I can think of is switching ISPs but that's going from DSL to Cable and not what I really want to be doing.

Biowarfare posted:Telia rate limits ICMP on their routers, it's unlikely you'll even have passable connectivity at 90% pl. They're also so large in the nordics that you'll be hard pressed to avoid them unless you find one that has mutual IX peering. Yeah that's what I figured  My SFTP speeds will spike to 1.5MBps, and then drop down to like...10kbps. My ISP is Telus, my friends is Shaw (both western Canada). Server IP 185.148.3 My IP: 154.20.191 Friends IP: 174.7.115

Biowarfare posted:lol pulsed is like the cheapest rear end single-upstream seedbox provider there, i wouldn't blame telia for this... Bummer yeah he's always been good to me but I guess I could have done more research before just staying with the same seedbox provider for a dedicated server.I was using winscp and I don't think it supports multithreading? I also don't really know what multithreading is or if I'm doing it right. Let's say I switched providers, there are probably better ones to go with?

Biowarfare posted:See if you can download in a different way, like set up a webserver and use multiple connections / a download manager, instead of using winscp. That's good to know! I'll give other ways of downloading a try. Ceros_X posted:I'm a pulsed customer, for quicker downloads I'll go to the 'access Data directory directly for HTTP downloads' page and use a download manager that supports chunks etc for large single files. Don't know how if that helps. It does! What download manager do you use?

Ceros_X posted:DownThemAll for the download manager and FileZilla for SFTP client Thank you! It didn't work super well but I appreciate the tips. I have a weird maybe solution. My work has a fast and capable connection on the ISP that does not have any packet loss. Is it possible to download through that connection with a raspberry pi or something?
