IMX.to - support

[V]

I did some testing too.

Let's say you have a gallery of 40 images, each 5 MB. The first 1 MB of each image downloads as fast as your connection (or the image host) allows. The remaining 4 MB is capped at about 1 MB/s per download. With 4 downloads at a time per IP, your steady speed is about 4 MB/s (32 Mbit/s). Because the first 1 MB of each file comes in faster, the average works out to about 4.5–5 MB/s. That means the whole 200 MB gallery takes about 40–45 seconds. If your own connection is slower than about 32 Mbit/s, the limit doesn't affect you, and your connection is the bottleneck.

Also, I'm pretty sure i.imx.to is uncapped because some big test images downloaded at 4gbit/sec+ which is quite insane. But it also makes sense as it appears their i.imx.to domain is exclusively used for new uploads or at least recent uploads. I see October and November uploads are served over this domain but September for example is hitting i02.imx.to which is definitely capped.

If you test with VPN, use a VPN provider that bases its usage % on bandwidth going in/out and not 'load'. Go for low ping VPN servers as these often provide faster total speeds. With ProtonVPN for example, the fastest VPN is rarely the fastest in terms of ping or maximum download speeds because they don't base their load rating on port capacity used.
