Anyone else seeing this?I just did a quick test and I get much better results. Obviously, to my office is 5-10 MB/s which is expected since the servers are very close to me. But even downloading to my personal machine at home over a cable modem averaged around 1 MB/s. There's probably a point when you're too far away for pings to accurately model the bandwidth between, but I think you should be getting something better than 10KB/s anyway.I was downloading the gcc41 distfiles. The first file took forever, transferring at about 5KB/sec. The next file transferred (or at least, began transferring) at 130KB/sec or so. I think it's ok most of the time, but sometimes it's very slow. I don't think it's my network.Right now: ---> Fetching ruby ---> Attempting to fetch ruby-1.8.7-p22.tar.bz2 from http://distfiles.macports.org/rubyIt's fetching at about 4KB/sec. My wireless signal strength is at maximum and it's the same if I put my MacBook Pro very near the access point. I'm on a Time Warner cable modem in San Antonio, TX. While this distfile is loading, I can view web pages from www.apple.com transferring at 200KB/sec so the problem is not at my end.
Any chance you can tcpdump/wireshark a download to see if anything obvious is happening? Also, www.apple.com is hosted in a different location than macosforge.org. So a better comparison would be traffic from one of our servers. An XQuartz or WebKit nightly dmg would be a good target.
