loose it? Also: I've tried the speed tests using the site: testmy.net using the 12M download and I get anywhere from 40M to 50M which should be very good. Yet it seems to take a while for a site to come up compared to when I was on dsl with Century Link. Is this just the nature of the beast (latency issue)? My LAN has 3 Linux boxes running Ubuntu 16.04 and a Windows 7 box going to a 24 port switch. I tried the download test with the main workstation plugged directly into the modem and then threw the switch as normal. That doesn't seem to make a difference in the test. I mostly use youtube-dl to download youtube videos and it seems real slow too. I think it may be because I need to download bigger chunks at a time using the download options: -r, --limit-rate RATE Maximum download rate in bytes per second
(e.g. 50K or 4.2M)
-R, --retries RETRIES Number of retries (default is 10), or
"infinite".
--fragment-retries RETRIES Number of retries for a fragment (default
is 10), or "infinite" (DASH, hlsnative and
ISM)
--skip-unavailable-fragments Skip unavailable fragments (DASH, hlsnative
and ISM)
--abort-on-unavailable-fragment Abort downloading when some fragment is not
available
--keep-fragments Keep downloaded fragments on disk after
downloading is finished; fragments are
erased by default
--buffer-size SIZE Size of download buffer (e.g. 1024 or 16K)
(default is 1024)
--no-resize-buffer Do not automatically adjust the buffer
size. By default, the buffer size is
automatically resized from an initial value
of SIZE.
--playlist-reverse Download playlist videos in reverse order
--playlist-random Download playlist videos in random order
--xattr-set-filesize Set file xattribute ytdl.filesize with
expected file size (experimental)
--hls-prefer-native Use the native HLS downloader instead of
ffmpeg
--hls-prefer-ffmpeg Use ffmpeg instead of the native HLS
downloader
--hls-use-mpegts Use the mpegts container for HLS videos,
allowing to play the video while
downloading (some players may not be able
to play it)
--external-downloader COMMAND Use the specified external downloader.
Currently supports
aria2c,avconv,axel,curl,ffmpeg,httpie,wget
--external-downloader-args ARGS Give these arguments to the external
downloader I'll experiment with it and let you know what I find out...
