BIM 360 very slow
I find BIM360 to be slow as well, there is no consistency in speed and it goes in waves. I am on a fiber connection with download speed of around 90mbps but I get 500kb download speed.
After the "upgrade" over the past weekend, BIM 360 has been worse; far, far worse (if that were possible).
It took each of our team members nearly 45 mins to open their files this morning. Saves take around 10 - 15 minutes to complete. With a team of a mere 8 people this is simply untenable.
BIIM360 costs a fortune compared to most other cloud services; and the performance is simply dreadful. As I type here I'm downloading a file for offline archiving at a massive 640kbps. Thats kilo-bits, not even bytes! Running speedtest.net on our link gives me 99Mbps up and down, our firewall is set to whitelist every DNS Autodesk has ever said to whitelist, or AV is set not to scan anything Revit related - yet the download performance is still horrid.
See the image below for proof of the laughable download speed offered by BIM360 - it's the only thing running on my ethernet connection (1G as specced by Autodesk) and it's barely hitting 1Mbps. In abotu 30 mins it has downloaded a whopping 137MB of a 4.3GB file.
This is seriously WASTING OUR TIME - both because the process itself is slow, and I have to take the time to write posts like this in the hope of getting a response.
I see your fancy 500kbps and raise (lower?) you 123kbps. Yes, 1990's dial up. A moment ago it dropped to 40kbps.
We're in the little known hamlet of Sydney, NSW. Wynyard in fact - about as CBD as you can get. If anyone gets decent internet speed it should be us! And we do - usually around 99-100Mbps up and down.
seems I'm still winning...yeah we've been getting 140Mbps in Brissy City recently
Another Aussie chiming in to say this is honestly beyond ridiculous. I'm working in an office building right in Melbourne CBD, getting ~370Mbps up/down on speed tests and similar actual speeds on other sites, but downloading BIM360 models averages 200kbps, it's often at 60kbps for extended periods, and we've had as low as 3kbps.
Nowadays if I'm opening a large model I'll set it to open in the morning, go out for a coffee and breakfast and still get back in time before it's finished downloading.
