35 B/s, but we support Linux

[Comment]

April 29th, 2007 in Micro Blog

I haven’t seen anyone else complain about slow transfers from adobe.com, but when I download flash-player from any of my Linux systems it’s as slow as playing on a old 6505. I’ve tested it on a number of systems now, on different networks, and a few times over the past few months. I get the same result: 35 B/s. Yes, that’s bytes. Is Adobe filtering connections from Linux systems, or are they just incompetent?

Update - It sped up after 4 hours, hitting a whopping 10Kb/s. Wow.
