i need to move my project from AWS to Digital ocean which about 6-7 GB of data and i have already made a droplet on DO with ubuntu installed in it, now the thing is i have fired “wget” command to transfer a zip file containing all data on AWS EC2 instance to DO Droplet, i have a 2 core 40$/Month droplet but the data transfer is painfully slow at 200KBPS, can i know the reason ? and what about the data transfer charges is inbound data transfer included in the given bandwidth of droplet cost or its billed separately?

Hello,
According to the documentation, the Inbound bandwidth to Droplets is always free:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/accounts/billing/bandwidth/#droplets
Regarding the download speed, I’ve just tested it on my droplet and it is currently:
Download: 4676.29 Mbit/s
What are the locations of your AWS EC2 instance and the location of your DO droplet?
You could try using this tool to check your download speed:
