also with microsoft download servers as well (also akamai).

with google dns I was getting sub 10mbit speeds downloading windows 8, it used either a server over telia or abovenet both were slow, then when I changed to VM dns and flushed the dns cache I got a server that didnt go over any 3rd party transit and was much faster.

hostname iso.esd.microsoft.com.

on VM dns.
