Our server is at it's new home, and hopefully you will see an improvement in speed and ping times. |

Using pingtest.net and speedtest.net
Darkspace server is in Leland, NC. There is no testing server in Leland. You have to pick Wilson, NC or Conway, SC with speedtest; Columbia, SC with pingtest. The result might not reflect the true speed to darkspace server; but with international players - whose packet travels oversea - neighbourhood region speed can give a clue.
Obviously, you can open CMD and ping darkspace.net manually. But I didn't ping darkspace when it was in LA so I couldn't remember.
When DS is in LA, my line grade was D, jitter 10ms. Now DS is in NC, my line grade is C, jitter 1ms. Much better I can tell.
How about yours?

judging by the download speed, it goes really fast(250kbyte/sec) when the download is initialized but appears to slow down to about 70kbyte - 60 kbyte. havent tested for ping or anything, but thatshould be in the 190-250 range.
Edit: speed is still slowly ticking down. When will it stoooooopp.
when i got on this morning i was thinking "Woah, new darkspace server, finally it might utilise my 12mbit line!".

darkspace.net will work as a ping test instead of typing the IP - but the server is infact in Virginia.

average 367 from australia.
Also getting a couple timeouts too.
Packets: Sent = 99, Received = 96, lost = 3 (3% loss),
Aproximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 253ms, Maximum = 467ms, Average = 366ms
EDIT:
did some futher testing with a larger sample -
Packets: Sent = 1880, Received = 1829, lost = 51 (3% loss),
Aproximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 253ms, Maximum = 646ms, Average = 376ms

That timeout isn't going to be on the servers end, and is more than likely from your ISP.
