Frogfoot1606687865 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 The new installer released today uses bittorrent to download the patch, however It is painfully slow, No doubt it will improve as more people download the update and seed, currently at 60 peers and 0.5kB/s . Seems like a step backwards at the moment.

Sryan Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 completely agree. I'm doing 500kB/s. Check my F-15C guide
Siegfried Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Can we choose the old download system? I have only 100-300 kb/s
Coug4r Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) What he said... Although i don't care if it takes 15 or 55 minutes, the 'old' way of updating was faster. (E: Make that 255 minutes) Edited November 23, 2015 by Coug4r - If man were meant to fly he'd be filled with helium.
BaconSarnie Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 And when everyone closes it as soon as they have the update there will be zero peers...

Pikey Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 One day I was God with cable downloads of 120Mb/s. How I laughed at my squad mates. Now I have their upload bandwidth for my download bandwidth. Someone is having a peice of revenge pie at my expense.

Plagi_Arism Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Torrenting the update files...is a nightmare Is there a way to turn off the torrent updater? :cry: 120 peers and the download speed is 20 KB/s :( I need a server download! May the THRUST be with you
Plagi_Arism Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I just canceled the updater, it's a chimera. :bomb: I just downloaded 5 MBytes in half an hour. That's 1012 MBytes download will need 20 days with that speed :badmood: May the THRUST be with you

fjacobsen Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Yeah download speed flucturates from a high 2,7 Mb/s to a low 100 kb/s, but mostly in the lower end. Painfully slow I must say.

LaserLight Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 is there no way to use the old download method? It seems to me that if you are late to the party by a couple of days or week then everyone will already have the update and no one will be seeding
xaoslaad Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I had 0.0 Kbps download for awhile. while uploading at .6 mbps. I'm 1/5th of the way there now going at barely better than dial up speeds. I'm sorry you hate paying for bandwidth for downloads, but this is in absolutely no way a better experience for your customers. If you want fast downloads without having to pay for it directly and save us all a headache in the process: Ditch starforce DRM in favor of Steam DRM. Use Steam as your soul distributor 2 birds with one stone. We're happy, you're happy, everyone's happy.
kazereal Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 is there no way to use the old download method? It seems to me that if you are late to the party by a couple of days or week then everyone will already have the update and no one will be seeding At least ED will be seeding, otherwise nobody would get the original in the first place.. This likely is alternative to buying service from CDN or similar. I don't know what kind of cost that has but using torrent would be a lot cheaper for ED.

Brisse Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Speed will improve. This is how torrents work. Initially when there are few uploaders and many downloaders, it will be slow, but when time goes on, downloaders turn into uploaders and the ratio shifts so it becomes faster.
DrFlanagan Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I have to agree with this, I am loving everything going on in the past months, but this torrent updater shenanigans are really really annoying.
xaoslaad Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) That's only true for as long as the torrent client is running to upload data. How does that work exactly with an updater that runs and exits? Edited November 23, 2015 by xaoslaad
ED Team NineLine Posted November 23, 2015 ED Team Posted November 23, 2015 I agree with all that, but the question still is WHY ? Testing if customers like slower downloads ? Dont be silly, obviously they are looking for faster options, the only way they can test is with a large sampling of users, they will either tune it if they can, or revert if it doesnt work. Please keep responses respectful, I already had to delete one, treat it like anything else in the sim, supply info like you dl/ul speeds.

Brisse Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I agree with all that, but the question still is WHY ? Testing if customers like slower downloads ? Initially when 1.5 open beta was released, their servers (or maybe upload capacity) couldn't deal with all the traffic so they had to temporarily shut down updates. I was lucky to get the open beta before that happened, but others were not so lucky and had to wait. I'm sure they see torrenting as a solution to that problem, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
