Thank you so much for your help! I have not read anything about this test, so I do not know what it is actually testing. However, it should be said that my PC rocks an Intel i5 4690K with a SSD. Also, my network is 40 mb/s up and 40 mb/s down. Therefore, I cannot really understand what should be the problem with my machine.

I don’t know enough to be sure but there was some suggestion I think that small network in flux - that is adopting a lot of new data relative to its size, might prioritise data management than accommodating tests. I might be remembering wrong that the tests need to be adjusted to be more work for the clients and less a drain on nodes resource - or that might have been a passing thought I had in wondering how they work.
My impression is that the tests are mostly about bandwidth atm.
Try again later, might be a better test result??
Test15 expected to be stable enough it might morph into Alpha2… but it’s opportunity to find bugs… and get experience in using Demo App and other capability as listed in OP.

I am not experiencing the same issues as others. More or less instant connection and account creation. Vault speed test completed on first go. davidpbrown’s speed tests all loaded close to instantly except wall.knot which was closer to 10 seconds. More nodes online.
Looks better to me than the last test.

Works well so far on a Droplet I have.
As expected it doesn’t run on my home machine as I cannot do port forwarding.
I will keep it running! Great work

Seemed to be faster uploading this time too.

Now I am connected with my vault, and it works as a charm! I agree that it could have to do with the network size. Also, I may post the log-file that was dumped this time if it is of any interest.

Useful for others to see what the successful vault output looks like…

That looks to be the command-line cursor prompt that you will look at for a while until you do the next step 
You might have rushed ahead but the install of unzip takes a moment to complete.
Now try:
unzip ./safe_vault-v0.13.2-linux-x64.zip
cd ./safe_vault-v0.13.2-linux-x64
screen
[Enter x2]
./safe_vault
Just for completeness I’ll suggest that then is unzipping the compressed file .zip which creates a new directory. ‘cd’ is change directory, moving your cursor to inside the directory. screen is then an abstraction that allows programs to run in the background. ‘./safe_vault’ is a request to run the safe_vault executable. “Ctrl-a and then D” will detach and leave the vault running… you can sit and watch it run for a while to see the different messaging it generates…
and to make the command line prompt more obvious:
root@SAFE:~/SAFE#
is suggesting that you are user ‘root’ at what I called server instance SAFE
with cursor at
~/ == home directory
~/SAFE the SAFE directory within your home directory.
Also, you can do ‘ls’ as a directory listing to see more the files in the folder you are sat in. ‘cd ~/’ or ‘cd …/’ will take you back home where you will see the .zip and the new folder unzipped.

First try and inside …
First upload test: 94.5KB / s.
Second upload test; 112,4KB/s
For now slower than 12c. Maybe a worse relay node.

Thanks for your help and laying out the steps!! I am now officialy running a vault from the cloud. SO cool 
Now I need to go learn what I just did

If you’re new to Linux - which is what Ubuntu is a flavour of… then you can use just ‘cd’ and ‘ls’ to explore the structure of a Linux system. They are all fairly similar. ‘ls /’ lists the very top level of the system, in which is /home you can ls -l / for more detail.
If you search online for Bash that is a language the shell understands and can be used for simple useful learning exercises… it’s easy to get carried away… that and a couple of vaults and you’ll have your own skynet!

Great to see test 15 up and running
Would it be possible to include in the list of limitations the minimum (upload) link speed people require to run a vault. I gather it is still 6 Mbits/sec which it was in 12c. Just be good to see it listed with the port forwarding/UPnP requirement
Any chance of reducing this?
Be great to try vaults from home, but I only have 2 Mbits/sec upload speed. And its like 2 years before I can expect to upgrade this.

Anyone else getting this error on startup of the vault? I just dies without doing anything for me

We commented on that here @Blindsite2k: GPL licensed software leaving github - #12 by Traktion. In short, I don’t see anything significant in the changes to motivate a change, explanation in the post. Thanks.

When this has happened in the past the cause has generally been either having a VPN running or port forwarding not set up properly on the router for port 5483.

It looks very much like what happened to me in 12c :
MaidSafe Dev Update - March 2, 2017 - Test 12c - #79 by ustulation
A new config option was added to the crust config file , which should adress the case of some weird router behaviour :
Fix timer bug by ustulation · Pull Request #825 · maidsafe-archive/crust · GitHub
Hopefully setting “force_acceptor_port_in_ext_ep” to TRUE should fix this.
I did not have a chance to try it yet as I am away from home until this afternoon.
EDIT
@ustulation , force_acceptor_port_in_ext_ep works perfectly my side . If I set it to false, test 15 behaves just like 12c and is not reachable from outside. Setting it to TRUE makes it visible. GOOD JOB !
