Wooshum Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi All, Any help with this is much appreciated - I am currently rendering out a Project and the deadline is looming. I am using the Amazon EC2 service via HQueue, the render speeds are good but I am getting really slow download times which is pushing out my render job times massively. I am currently only getting a 7Mb frame downloaded in 4 minutes (ridiculous) - I have been checking regularly and my connection is around 80Mbs on the download. At this rate I definitely wont be hitting the deadline. Does anybody know how I can speed up my download times on the Amazon side of things? * I have raised this as a support issue with SESI, haven't heard back yet * Thanks!

Mandrake0 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) i never used the amazone ec2 services but the only problem i cloud think of is on witch place are your render job? is it in the usa or near by you like singapur or tokyo? it could be when it's in the usa that the oversea cable limits the transfer! or the local provider peering reaches his limits....... i just looked in to the hqueue cloud region list there is nothing near by.... ask sesi to add singapur and tokyo that will help you for sure :-) good luck.....

symek Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think I rendered both in Ireland and US (from Poland), and transfer was decent, up to the limits of our pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooshum Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Pressure is off for now, deadline has been pushed back so rendering can chug along with my machine in the meantime. I could only submit by job to Ireland, kept getting errors when trying to submit to the US facilities. Using the centre in Singapore would be handy, have even read about an amazon setting up a centre in Sydney. You can probably put the slow speeds to Australia's woefull communications infrastructure. I was really clutching a straws there for a while, trying every last avenue to get the speeds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello world Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 @wooshum: any luck using amazon? is it free of cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooshum Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 @Hello world - I have had a few troubles with the service for my most recent job, but these could probably get put down to the infrastructure and connection on my side of the equation. It is a service you can use at a cost and render times are all dependent on how many machines you want to throw at the job.
