Low download rate

Reply #1 February 4, 2008 2:32 PM from Sins Forums Top

well mines not much better 300 ?? is this normal for digi-downloads?
seems rather slow this day and age.

obviously, its because the servers are busy. Theres probably loads of people trying to download the game from SDC right now..U'll just have to be patient and wait.

Bear in mind every person and their dog are hammering the download servers, which = less bandwidth for you. Give it a few hours/days, it'll calm down.

Everyone should be getting good speeds from the leased lines, but some have reported slowness on the west coast if that's where you're at.

I can testify as a beta tester, that ive been able to download the game at 1700kb/s when it wasn't busy that is

So yeah theres properly 100's of people downloading as we speak

My speed is fine, but the download is spontaneously resetting at 92%....it just goes back to 0%. Download speed is around 500-800k average, and the only thing I have running is a streaming radio broadcast in the background.....

Anything I can do to end that loop?

Thanks for the replys

It seems we're getting very different numbers. I just wanted to know if I was the only one with such low rates.

I'll be patient!

Our servers hit 1Gb/sec not too long ago. Their fans are running at full to keep those things cooled, I'm sure  :CONGRAT:

Reply #19 February 4, 2008 3:15 PM from Sins Forums Top

If there's anyway you guys can boost it out to me cause i'll loose my connection in like 40 min - 2 hours depending if i can maintain connection while i walk down to class or not and battery life (plugged in now). I'm only at 20%. Please beef up my feed.

how much does it cost to lease those "super duper fast" lines anyways?

Reply #22 February 4, 2008 3:27 PM from Sins Forums Top

Please...5kb-45kb here...on a T1 connection...in NY.

...


Of course I'm on a throttled school connection, so it's blazing fast for me

EDIT: Woah...138kb for 1/2 a second there...jeepers creepers batman!

I got connection in class lost it on the way to class, I'm at 30% now.

Just an FYI to the devs. I'm on the west coast and am averaging about 630-650 kb/s so the low dl rate is not all on the west coast
