very low transfer rate - 2kb/s

0

i am traying to use AWS for the first time to store archive files. however, when i have tried to transfer data to AWS, the rate data transfer is so low that I was forced to terminate it. I ma transferring data within Europe. If I can't transfer data, I can't use AWS at all. Any comments or ideas? we are small accounting firm. I need to transfer about 1T.

Hi,

A couple of initial questions:

  1. What is the throughput of your office connection to Internet? Did you validate that it is fast enough? Please, provide throughput
  2. Was the bucket created in an AWS region close to the geographical location of your offices ? Please, provide your country (city if ok) and the AWS region of your S3 bucket creation

Best,

Didier

    Ok. Then you may want to use https://github.com/dvassallo/s3-benchmark to benchmark s3 throughput from your location. Given your raw throughput numbers, there seems to be a bottleneck somewhere that has to be identified.

i too just started with aws but maybe you can use "aws s3 transfer acceleration". this uses the Amazon’s global edge network to speed up data transfers. To enable this: Go to the S3 bucket in the AWS Management Console. Enable Transfer Acceleration under "Properties." Use the special transfer-accelerated endpoint. or maybe your problem will be solved using aws cli , but first you have to install it on your system and then Use the "aws s3 cp" or "aws s3 sync" commands with the "--multipart-chunk-size-mb" and "--max-concurrent-requests" options to increase transfer speed. hope this helps :)

    i have tried to use the transfer accelerator. the speed is 5kb/s. i have 1G to upload. it says - 2 days ... Maybe, AWS is not a solution for me. we used to keep our website materials there. I thought I can use AWS for archive storage.
