Sure,


It's slower, but I did multiple DL tests and sometimes it runs at 15MB/s, sometimes less than 1MB/s. Strange :)

Strange though, while I was downloading it at 1MB/s from windows, from the linux shell I was still able to download it at ~15MB/s

Fastest I was able to get is from a US shell ~100MB/s

What country are you downloading from, if you want I can test it from one of these networks:

Yes, the same here in Italy.

Sometimes it's lightning fast, other times the download drops to 150 kbps... I don't know why...
Gabriele Maoret - Head of SysAdmins and CISO at SERSIS Currently manages 6 SmarterMail installations (1 in the cloud for SERSIS which provides services to a few hundred third-party email domains + 5 on-premise for customers who prefer to have their mail server in-house)
Frustrating. Looks like throttling of bandwith from the ISP that smartermail uses.
