So here's the thing: I am observing the mentioned effect for some time now and I don't get it. It starts to really annoy me and I cannot get a grip on it. So I am turning to this community with the hope for help.
What is my situation?
I have two situations in which the effect occurs:
- When initializing terraform which downloads all the necessary plugins every time.
- When updating my vagrant boxes.
The common denominator here seems to be that in both situations the actual data is located on AWS.
What is the effect?
The effect is - plain and easy - that the download throughput drops below the bit measurement. Like it does not say 12 kbit/s but rather 12 bit/s. No network connection - not internal nor external - shows at least a similar situation. Also the effect is not persistent. Sometimes it occurs, sometimes not.
Here is a live example of the situation when updating a vagrant box:
Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/bento/boxes/ubuntu-18.04/versions/202012.21.0/providers/virtualbox.box
Download redirected to host: vagrantcloud-files-production.s3.amazonaws.com
Progress: 0% (Rate: 7092/s, Estimated time remaining: 8:54:17)
The worst part is, that this is a good rate actually.
Can anyone point me into a direction on how to tackle this? I really cannot get a grip.
I will update this question as soon as information arrives.
Thanks in advance!
