How long should initial download take?

[subseauk]

Hi all.

Completely new to DCS World and stumbling over download!!

Ive downloaded the install files and when running that it goes straight to an update which is going to take about 4-5 days at present speed. ( my internet is giving 200mb + and is really fast on other stuff ).

Is this usual or is there a faster method, would I be better downloading from steam?

 

Thanks for the help guys :thumbup:

Hi,

That sounds odd to me. My speed is twice yours and it still takes a while but like maybe 20~30 minutes. Make sure you are doing the tor download and not HTML. The tor is faster

P.S. Welcome, I'm fairly new as well. BTW, nice set up you have there!

Sounds like a nice setup and it should be except only 1 RAM module is being seen and the other is saying only 4Gb instead of 8Gb. As said previously internet speed sucks but the same cable into my laptop is flying!!

As for DCS I don't know where the torrent download is? I just click on the DCS World download button!!

I'll have to bump the RAM issue or check with Corsair. If it was me I would just reset the ram in the slot and check again. As for the DL, that should be all you have to do, i.e., click the DL. Maybe try different time of the day, I don't know where the servers are but I had various DL speeds at different times of the day. Also, have you done a speed test on you system and/or bufferbloat test? Get CCleaaner program and clean out your system.

 

Good luck.
