Using our free account, the same 1GB was re-downloaded in under nine minutes. We would typically expect a download to complete significantly quicker than an upload with our typical Internet connections, however this is where TeraBox’s speed throttling comes into play. This final, successful upload was complete in under four minutes, which is very respectable when compared with other cloud drives, although we do have concerns over the service’s stability. It took us several attempts to upload our 1GB test file, with progress coming to a halt on all but our ninth attempt.
