Just some feedback. This current file hosting is very slow.. Where about 14 KB download speed and it took 5 hours to download 295MB.. This is really discourage in long run due to rapid map update of MFM in nature.. The hosting that you guys host last time does not has this problem.. It seems like the new file hosting encourage us to PAY for the fast download... If so, really a wast of effort for MFM. Where you guys have a good mapping but all this being degraded with the hosting.. Just my 2 cents of opinion..
No one is helping to pay MfM hosting, especially this day all the data center hosting will based on the traffic that we use. The bigger files that mfm maps goes, the more heavy traffic it goes.
The public FREE File Hosting is the ONLY way for us to support the map being release.
We had more than 3000 copies of PPG map downloaded over the 30 days, this mean we are facing more than 1Tb of traffic being transfer. And, also have more than 3000 copies of Garmin maps being downloaded every week and it constribute nearly another 1Tb of traffic monthly. With total of minimum 2Tb of traffic being serve, this is EXTREMLY costly!
I DON'T expect anyone of you guys that complaints about the download speed will understand these figures. For those who understood, I believed they won't make any demand for this.
