I Am Getting Slow Download Speed
Download speed is based on multiple factors, of which, only some can Filemail address. Filemail server locations, traffic conditions, transfer protocol, your maximum internet speed as governed by your ISP, to name but 4 factors.
Filemail servers: are present in Central Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, and across the USA. Datacenters have core networking supplied by Level3 (2x10 GBit), Deutsche Telecom (2x10 GBit), and Global Crossings (2x10 GBit).
Transfer protocol: if you are downloading using a web browser; the protocol used will be TCP, a common but slower protocol. Our file transfer desktop apps use both TCP and UDP for much faster transfer rates.
Here is how to use it;
Make sure the desktop app is running.
Return to your browser window and click on the big green Download button. The download will be handled by Desktop which will accelerate the download

The up-and-download speed depends on your internet service as well - you can check your speed on sites like: http://www.speedtest.net to compare the speed you are getting with Filemail with the one you should get.
Take into account that Speed Test will typically use a server near your location so it will only deal with local traffic conditions. Traffic conditions locally and further afield is something we can’t do anything about.
