How long does it take to transfer a snapshot to another region?

Posted on October 22, 2014

I started the transfer so I can spin up another box. I just see the spinner spinning with no idea how long it will actually take. Any idea?

i’m trying to transfer 1.5GB size snapshot to another account, but it takes more than 1 hour and i dont know that how long it will take to transfer completely.

Just transfered a 3GB snapshot from sfo2 to sgp1. About 5 mins. I can accept it, but it’s better if there is some metrics

Its been more than an hour transferring a snapshot of size 5 GB from Singapore to Bangalore. Seems pretty slow.
