Question

Inbound Data Transfer Into Droplet

Posted October 3, 2019 1.8k views
DigitalOcean Accounts

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:

    My EC2 is based in Mumbai (India) and DO droplet is based in Bengaluru (India), I transferred a zip file of 6.5 GB and it took me around 3.5 Hours. I tested with another droplet from another DO account based in bengaluru (india) still the speeds are very low when transferring data into droplet, always below 1 Mb/S for me.

      Hello,

      This would really depend on the source host that you are downloading from as well.

      I’ve created a droplet in Bengaluru and I tested the download speed and it reported to be:

      Testing download speed...............................................
Download: 752.26 Mbit/s

      I also tested this with a server from Mumbai:

      Testing download speed...............................................
Download: 482.28 Mbit/s

      There’s some difference due to the ~900km distance between the two locations.

      Regards,
      Bobby
