Average download/export speed
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2021 9:19 am
Hi,
I'm wondering about the download and export speed, and whether there is a difference in first downloading or directly exporting data. Currently on my side it takes forever to download/export data (got a standard subscription, my connection is at 250 MB/sec).
Example: in the last 24 hours, I was able to export 5-year history for 7 symbols, each in two versions: 5-min bars and tick data. Total volume was about 47 GB. That's around 2 GB per hour, or about 0.5 MB/second.
Questions:
- am I doing something wrong?
- is my download speed average or I'm at the low end?
- also exporting from already downloaded history takes about the same time. Is that normal?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Sandro
