I'm getting great speeds on the RIPE file from ovh and from home ipv6. On the other file, I'm only getting around 10kb/s from ovh, but 100kb/s from home.
IPv6 FTP performance

I suspect that I'm probably in a very small minority of folk actually routinely using IPv6, but I'm wondering if anyone else has been seeing exceptionally slow FTP download performance over IPv6?
Downloading ftp://ftp.OpenLDAP.org/pub/OpenLDAP/...dap-2.3.42.tgz over IPv6 is painfully slow, often giving less than 1KB/s, and frequently stalling. Downloading over IPv4 gives a much more respectable average of 169KB/s.
Here are the IPv6 and IPv4 traceroutes:
