O_Smiladon Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Thank you for the reports, guys. We have to do some changes to the torrents, because it seems like only update downloads tend to stall. Installing full modules works blazingly fast. I've temporarily disabled the torrents until we rework things a bit. 1035 MB downloaded. 20 peers, 0.0 KB/s up, 0.0 KB/s down It has taken me over 24 hrs just to get that far.. So now I will have to kill it and start again??? another 24hrs?? or will you open it back up soon. What do the guys do that were 1/2 through that pain when you disabled the torrennt? Please advice. Thanks O_Smiladon [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Yurgon Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I wonder how long it's going to take to download NTTR lol Well as c0ff said, there seems to be a problem with the update-Torrents. I guess once that problem's fixed, it'll be a lot faster than HTTP, because this really is a showcase example for BitTorrent use. :thumbup:
ED Team c0ff Posted November 25, 2015 ED Team Posted November 25, 2015 What do the guys do that were 1/2 through that pain when you disabled the torrennt? I disabled the torrents as the default route of the updater. Our seeds keep working as usual. You may cancel the update and it will ask you to use HTTP. Dmitry S.

DieHard Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) 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. I realize the topic is about speed, but my MalwareBytes Anti_Malware repeatedly flagged the download as being malicious. I cancelled the installation and opted instead to download via http:// The offending IP# was 195.2.253.172 , location was Moscow. It took 10 minutes to download using Time-Warner cable internet. I have the fastest download speed they offer in my area. At least keep the alternate installation process as an option. I do not download anything using bit torrent. You guys are going to lose a fan! I truly love the sim, but I don't love it that much. Edited November 25, 2015 by DieHard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
flashtom Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Hi how do u use ip address instead of http url, and which file should be editor ? thanks my speed just 25kb/s...already 20 hours...:cry: I realize the topic is about speed, but my MalwareBytes Anti_Malware repeatedly flagged the download as being malicious.

DieHard Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 My OpenBeta had a patch update this morning concerning something to do with using bit torrent. Maybe something has changed. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ED Team c0ff Posted November 27, 2015 ED Team Posted November 27, 2015 torrents were seriously reworked in 2.6.4.30. please share your experience. 1 Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2.
whaaw Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 You may cancel the update and it will ask you to use HTTP. everyone who is complaining about speed should listen to this guy. Its just one click to get normal http no need for drama SFMBE
Johnny Dioxin Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Yup. Malwarebytes pro user here, and every connection comes up as suspect and blocked. If I turn it off, the speed is as low as 4kB/s and would take days for the 2.4GB to download. Switching back to HTTP and the update took a couple of hours, at 1,3MB/s. These days (since the 1.5OB was first released) all my updates have been 1.3MB/s over HTTP. Before it I used to get 9.1MB/s and the updates took no more than a few minutes. I'm on FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) at 75MB/s. The new system is badly flawed, but the 'old' one has got very much worse, too. My Google and Cloud downloads are still at top speed, so it isn't a problem this end. I am really dreading the 20+GB NTTR download. (for comparison, the complete P3Dv2/3 downloads take 35 minutes in total) Edited November 28, 2015 by Brixmis Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!
m2b1 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I have install the World 1.5 from the Download Page today, but the Updater started by installing the Moduls?! DCS Updater 2.6.4.30 => very poor data transfer! Peers: 19 Up: 190 KB/s Down: 0.0 KB/s what's going on there?
klem Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 m2b1, In case you didn't know, "DCS Updater" is the "DCS_Updater.exe" not the DCS update itself. The updater has seen a few updates recently, I think the last one was to improve the updating method largely being discussed here. As for the slow Update download, I thought that had been fixed but as many posts above have said, if you see the update being d/loaded using 'Peer's, Cancel it and say yes to the nest message "shall we use http method instead?" or words to that effect. klem 56 RAF 'Firebirds' ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, i7 8086A @ 5.0 GHz with Corsair H115i watercooling, Gigabyte 2080Ti GAMING OC 11Gb GPU , 32Gb DDR4 RAM, 500Gb and 256Gb SSD SATA III 6Gb/s + 2TB , Pimax 8k Plus VR, TM Warthog Throttle, TM F18 Grip on Virpil WarBRD base, Windows 10 Home 64bit
m2b1 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 After 4 hours, download I canceled the transfer. I switched tp HTTP downloding. After 2 hours, the update was complete. Now running DCS 1.5 again. The modules now I could also install again. Just funny because I had just downloaded the installation files from the website.
SnowTiger Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 OMG it is all still painfully slow. The Torrent download is barely over 100 KB/s and even HTML (or whatever it is) is only 36 KB/s.

Cougar12dk Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Well, I was racing through the download @ between 4-8MB/s until it got to 1124.0 of 1124.6MBytes, then, apparently, my download was deemed finished, because the down-rate went to 0.0KB/s and has stayed there the last half hour. Well, as soon as I had written this paragraph, it's now up to 5.0KB/s (Whooooooooooooohoo, I'm THERE! .... erhm. Not). What's up with that?
Cougar12dk Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Hm. Now it's unpacking at the incredible speed of 71.4KB/s...damnit. One good thing is..... it's 15 past 11pm, so I will leave it be for the night, and see what's up in the morning.

Caffeine_High Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 If you click cancel on the update you have the option to download via the old method. No it doesn't. The installer closes without any further prompts. This is very frustrating! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk ***HEY LOOK HERE***
