RETS - Downloading photos are extremely slow
By extreme I mean it takes approximately 3-5 seconds to download a single ~100KB photo, and we download hundreds of photos per hour which is killing our automated hourly cycle.
Is it possible that you are aware of what might cause this circumstance and can provide some guidance? The server we connect to is maxebrdi.rets.fnismls.com.
Please be aware that we connect to 10 unique RETS servers, and only Paragon/FNIS services are exhibiting this behavior - and only recently. The only thing I can think of is our pulls are being severely throttled.
Thank you for any insight that you may be able to provide!

Can you please change your URL to: "maxebrdi.rets.paragonrels.com" instead of the legacy fnismls.com one while you are at it.
I went ahead and changed the URL.
What are you using to pull images? Are you using RetsConnector or getting URLs and downloading from them?
We've always used RetsConnector to pull images, but I recently changed it to download images directly from the URL, which happens to be just as slow. Our most recent pull took 25 min to download 255 photos when it usually takes approx 6 minutes to download 530 photos. It began around May 4th.
So you are using RetsConnector to pull the images using the URLs? I just looked at the getobject pulls and they seem to be going pretty fast getting the URLs using GetObject.
That is correct. Actually, we are pulling photos as we speak and I notice them coming in quicker today than last week, which is a good sign. I had to isolate the task and have it run on it's own schedule so it didn't affect our other timely processes.
