While that window is busy lugging over that 60MB file, open up a new connection with the server. You'll see you can get in fine. (At least, you should be able to.) Use this new window to pull over other files while the first window is still busy with that big one.
Hi Carrie.Ah, but that is the problem. While transferring the file I can't do anything with the server. I have tried other connections from my local machine and from other machines in other colo facilities. I have tried http/ftp/ssh/telnet/ping and traceroute. They all can't find the server anymore.
I am used to a large file taking time to transfer, but in 20 minutes last night on a slightly more successful attempt, the file transferred at 2.2MB per minute. That works out to 37.54KB per second. I know that the connection that we have can handle a lot more than that! The colo claims to have multiple OC48's. My old colo I know has multiple OC3's. So bandwidth should not be a problem.
Even the cobalt technicien was not completely sure last night.So, I am still at a loss. Anyone else can help? I will be calling cobalt this morning and see what they say. Any other suggestions from users would be appreciated.
