Hi,

I searched but nobody else complained …

I wonder why the overall performance of the myeclipse portal and expecially the download speed are sooo slooooow?

I try do download and it estimates about 5 hours at 5kB/s. Since I’m on DSL this seems a little slow.

There are no mirrors, are there?

thanks

You are not alone.

I have been trying to download the lastest version for the last 24 hours without success. It just grinds to a halt after about 10MB with speeds never getting above 5KB/s!!!

I have an 8Mb/s DSL and this is driving me insane. I’ll be moving over to .NET at this rate.

Can I humbly request the distributions are mirrored asap.

Sorry guys we hadn’t aniticipated the crippling number of downloads that the 4.0 milestone was going to see. We are setting up more servers to distribute the load to for downloads so it will stop effecting the main site’s speed.

It could be worse.
It could have been on /. with the Eclipse 3.1 release.

Thank you for fixing this so quickly!

For me, it was ok, I only have ISDN 64k
so I did not have any speed Problems. 🙂
But the Package size is about 300% from 3.8.4…
It has the same size as Eclipse 3.1

I can’t await the evening to make a fresh install and to port my projects to 3.1/4.0 m2
30 Euro p.a. for myEclipse is one of my best software-investments!

Yeah, sorry about that. We’ve been busy adding features and haven’t really concentrated on reducing the size of the distro yet.

Thank you for that! We think you’ll really like this release.

On the server front, we should have the download server installed late today / over the weekend which should triple our capacity.

[Rob Rutherford]

You guy’s did great job solving the bandwidth issue. One minute hours to go, the next all done!

[Scott Anderson]

As you’re starting to notice, we’ve rolled out a another server and tripled our capacity. I think you’ll find the new download infrastructure both fast and reliable. Also, the downloads now run off a completely separate server from the forums so high-download days won’t necessarily cause slow forum days. 🙂

Enjoy, and thanks again for your support and understanding.
