Well my exam and coursework period is now officially over and the university term is over until October. To "celebrate" I have purchased a fourth file server for TESNexus to deal with growing demand on the site.

Many people have complained about slow download speeds recently but unfortunately I have been too busy to investigate. As a result an above average number of people have signed up for premium accounts that has enabled me to fund a fourth file server for the site.

Located in Texas, USA, FS4 can serve up to 10TB of bandwidth every month. Give the server a go and report back on your findings!

I may well be upgrading the Chicago server as well. Lots to come over the summer

Thanks DO for adding the new server. Another one will be much appreciated although I've never really stressed too much about download rates myself. Free mods can come to me at any speed they like frankly. If the flow goes slow it's a small price to pay.

Speeds on new server are good, others have come up as well....seems server saturation or maximum connections was slowing the downloads.

Go baby go!

I have a 2850kb connection.

I use FireFox on Vista.

At 12:50pm EST(-5 GMT)on 5/23/08 I downloaded a
54mb file from S4(uncapped)

speed remained consistent between
320kb and 350kb and peaked at 354.3kb

man nice its about time we got a new server the first texas one has been super slow lately (5-10 kb/s)
but this new server im getting an upwards of 150 kb/s
if this was funded by premium accounts perhaps ill sign up for one

AVG=125KB\s 30% better than Chicago.

OK when the file finished it was more like 87.45KB/s

Hey dude, nice, thx.. How does it actually feel to make a site urself that suddenly becomes way more popular and active then you (probably) would guessed it would be? =)

Nice! I was wondering why the download speed was so slow...
However, the London server still seems to be slow and I'm from Europe - the DL speed was approx. 20 KB/s(8 KB/s before). The Chicago server is twice as quick for me.

Those are great news. Thx, DarkOne.

Sweeeeeeet ...although i'm from Europe this one works better for me
