new direct download

Post by nikos »

hi, i'd like to ask your help for testing the direct download feature:
http://zabkat.com/x2down2.htm

if you click on the download button you should get the xplorer2 download directly (no intermediate pages). Can you let me know how this works for you and what kind of download speed are you getting, especially if you are living outside the US?

if you are getting slow download speeds please contrast them to the old download location found here:

thanks

Tried both.

The download speed of the original site was an indicated 150KB/sec from IE, but overall took longer because of the intermediate site to go through.

The second site was about 220KB/sec, again from IE. Felt much more slick rather than having to go through another site.

I think in that the downloads speeds will vary and will probably be about the same for both sites.

Downloaded through a company intranet in the UK.

I could not detect differences between the two other than the extra screens in the old method. I prefer the new server without the intervening URL.
