Slow download speed from a specific server / connection

[Jakg]

I'm getting slow download speeds from a specific server.

Other people can get fast speeds, even I can when tethered to my phone - but on my connection, this one server is slow.

Slow:
~300kb/s
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snap...

Fast:
~3.5mb/s
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/rele...

Obviously I've tried rebooting modem, different PC etc.

Can it be my ISP (Onestream)?

Routing issue - try a different DNS maybe? ISP throttling?

I hate these kind of problems, it's tricky to get the full picture when you're reliant on multiple other services that you don't really have any control of...

I'm using Google DNS, but if I use an online DNS lookup tool to get the IP for the hostname and access it directly, I get the same speed on the slow server.

It seems like something on the host's side is affecting the transfer speeds for the two linked files relative to one another.

I get the first one at approx 200Mbps and the second at wire speed on 1Gbps links, consistent across several providers.

It would seem the host is capable of serving them much faster than you're experiencing though.

They are actually coming from different hosts.

If you hit the slow one it is a straight request to 54.235.164.218, if you hit the fast one it does a 302 and 301 redirect before then pointing you to the file which is located on 199.232.192.209.

The slow one comes from oss.sonatype.org, the fast one from repo1.maven.org.

If you open developer tools and make the requests you'll see the differences.
