I'm seeing verrrrrry slow downloads from Wikipedia on the hotel wifi, on the order of 20-30 kbytes/sec, whereas I get a very respectable 500 kbytes/sec to everywhere else.
slow test URLs:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/b/b7/How_Open_Acce...
vs fast downloads from my test site:
- https://brionv.com/misc/mjpeg/How_Open_Access_Empowered_a_16-Year-Old_to_Mak...
or the speed test widget at http://speedtest.comcast.net
Does anybody know if this might be some kind of throttling specific to Wikipedia (did they notice we're all using it? ;) or a technical problem between our servers and the hotel's ISP?
