    • I think I mentioned it in that thread but I’ve been testing a 128k that’s been provided to me free of charge. I’ve been finding it very snappy and quick at least with apt-get’s, compiling, file transfers and the like.

      The only major issue is that older versions of OSes are provided, in my case Debian 5.0. ISOs for newer versions (ie Debian 6.0.3) are provided but there are no instructions as to how to use them. I asked twice to be pointed to a tutorial but never got that question answered and I couldn’t find anything on the net as to how to do it either. I finally just installed Debian 5.0 from the control panel and did the upgrade from the prompt.

      If anyone wants me to run a test, please feel free to ask. The actual command would be a plus just so we all know what’s being run.

      • I’m pretty surprised actually, I have our NL node which I think is probably under more load VM wise & my results are pretty standard. 20mb/s has to be some of the slowest i’ve seen on leb.

      Did anyone want me to run the other tests? May be the same box as above.

      • @Yomero – We’re all out of stock so I wouldn’t class it as advertising, and I didn’t mean to in any way. Just interested to see what he was running.

        @Drmike

        Do you have a speed test you could give me? I just want to test throughput on the port see if they’re limiting. We’ve had issues since OpenVZ/SolusVM disabled limiting & we had them re-enable it in the latest beta but it seems to work half the time and not the others.

          And i’m still having problem with the UUID (hard drive identifier), everything is ok except the hard drive space. but i’m very sure this is my first priority for updating OS template in all our node.
