OK so the available LR4 files are now up on Amazon. I'd appreciate again if a few people would try a download and post their location, speed and comments

Hi Chris,

Just down loaded from home connection LR4_13-1 (219MB) at 1.9MB/per sec. Total time was just at 2 minutes.
Now I am on AT&T Uverse with download 18Mbps and upload 1.4Mbps.
Let add that I am on a MacBook Pro 2.66 (June 2009) with 8GB DDR3 Ram with a 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drive.

Best,

Stu

I´m getting the max speed of my line at home here in Norway (6Mbit/sec -> 800KByte/sec)

Many thanks again for all of the input. It has given us the confidence to migrate everything over to Amazon's S3 - but over time. A lot of our content will still come through the regular Store server for the next several weeks.

Right now only LR4 & C2PS are coming off AmazonS3

I will be publishing the next videos of LR4 in less than five days and will do a mass email to all customers. That will be the acid test to see if a few thousand hits on the same download file will still give acceptable rates. But don't go to the Store for new LR4 stuff yet, I will post here when it's available (and prior to the mass email)

In the UK I downloaded LR4_11.zip at 807 kbytes/s which is slightly less than half my maximum download speed.

In comparison c2ps-30.zip from Camera to Print and Screen (a similar sized file) downloaded at 831 kbytes/sec within half an hour of the LR4 download.

Therefore S3 seems to be slightly slower than your normal server in the UK when there is not a 'feeding frenzy' for new downloads - the download speed for the LR file was much slower when I download it in the first 48 hours after issue, unfortunately I didn't note the speed.

I obviously don't know how Amazon S3 will stand up to large numbers of simultaneous connections but the test I just carried out, while you were posting, showed a worse performance for S3 than your normal server for a UK download. The test was carried out between about 8.30 pm and 9 pm local time on a Friday evening. If it is of any use to you I could retest at a different time of day.

Regards
Nigel

PS a slightly slower download for your legacy files is not a personal concern, as I have either already bought and downloaded all the LL videos or for the earlier LLVJs have the DVDs.

Just tried one and averaged 2.44mb per second in Tokyo.

Brisbane, Australia - Getting mostly 812 kB/sec for LR4_11 (270 MB) so it took 5-6 mins.
I am very happy with that.
(My connection is ADSL2+ , 6.5 Mbit/sec download)
Looking forward to the next instalment!

From Brisbane Australia

Camera to print download between 1 - 1.2MB/sec
Where the **** pictures download straight after varied between 116 - 125KB/sec
at 6pm AEDT

StuartOnline · « **Reply #33 on:** March 17, 2012, 05:47:40 pm »

Chris,

Just downloaded:
LR4 14 (230MB) 630.4KB/Sec about 8 minutes.
LR4 15 (245MB) 1.4MB/Sec was under 5 minutes.

Download was via home connection with AT&T Uverse download 18Mbps and upload 1.4Mbps (US).
I am using a MacBook Pro 2.66 (June 2009) with 8GB DDR3 Ram with a 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drive.

Best,

Stu

Chris,

Just finished downloading LR4 14. Took between 40 and 45 minutes. The lowest transfer speed seen was about 50KB/sec, highest was over 200KB/sec.

On the basis of my download of C2ps from Amazon, I'm not terribly surprised by this performance. It is significantly better than the experience downloading the LR4 basic files which I did after the announcement that the rush was over.

I was able to get both videos at more or less my maximum connection speed - about 150 - 160 KBps. I am on 1.5mbps DSL connection with OS X SnowLeopard and Firefox 10 in SW Washington state.

Oddly enough, when I started it settled down to a roaring 15 KBps with time estimated at over 3 hours. I killed the download, rebooted the DSL modem and tried again, and promptly went up to about 150ish KBps.

AlanShaw · « **Reply #36 on:** March 17, 2012, 07:37:48 pm »

In Melbourne, Australia.

Downloads ran at around 300kb/s. About 10 minutes for each file. That's my Sunday morning sorted.

Cheers,
Alan.

Hi

I got 1,7MB/s from Europe or about 4 times as fast.

Going slow as an elderly canine in Canberra, Australia, at the moment - 17 Kb/s. I am assuming that I don't have to do anything special to get the Amazon server, just click on the files on my order information page - or am I mistaken about that? Is there some different path to using the Amazon server?

Triolo · « **Reply #39 on:** March 17, 2012, 08:48:18 pm »

Trying to download the two new videos from New Jersey.
Maximum speed of the download is impressive at 2.35 MB/sec., but the downloads are aborted before completion giving a error "the server retured an error response of 403=forbidden".
The previous server was slower, but with the same problem.
