I really like the dropbox experience but I really wish they didn't limit the download bandwidth.
My dropbox is about 35 GB, I just installed dropbox on a brand new computer and the download speed is 7KB/sec. It will literally take almost 20 days to sync my files.
That's terrible.
By the way, I'm an early adopter and have introduced dropbox to many people, I just hope download speeds were somewhat decent.
Very interesting; try downloading a file from your Dropbox public folder via HTTP, and see if that's any faster. If it is, your ISP is probably throttling/QoSing Dropbox, the ports it uses, or the kind of traffic it generates specifically, and you should get in touch with them about it. If it's slow as well, your ISP might be having a peering problem to Dropbox's colo.
Yeah, i get pretty shitty speeds with dropbox too. But i'm guessing it's because i'm in europe and they only have US servers.. i usually max out at 100-200K which is pretty slow when you're used to 100MBit speeds :(
This is pretty much what I was expecting the iPad was going to be instead of just an oversized ipod touch that doesn't run real applications but a bunch of jokes from the app store.
After the iPad was officially announced I thought I was going to have to get a joojoo instead but this looks way more promising.I think I will wait a few months then.
