Search download mirrors for better download speed

·


I was trying to download the latest version of Nero v7.2.7.0 few hours ago and the download speed was unbearably slow at 5-7kbps. The filesize of Nero v7.2.7.0 is 129MB which means it should take like so many hours to complete downloading the file. I felt that it’s not worth to leave my computer on to download at 5-7kbps when my download speed is 1MBps.

Nero’s download page only offers me to download by FTP or HTTP but doesn’t have other mirrors located at other country.

Here’s a tip on what you can do if you’re trying to download a very large file but the download speed is very slow.


You can use FileMirrors, a website maintained by HeadLight Software, the developer of GetRight to search for mirrors of the file.
At the top right of the page, you can search for the file if by just typing the filename.
For example, I tried searching for Nero-7.2.7.0_eng_no_yt.exe at FileMirrors.

I easily got more than 10 locations and was able to find a file mirror that maxed out my download speed at 100kbps.

Hope this helps 🙂
