marcoacv Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I don't know if this is the right place for the forum to do this. I recently realized that the speed of downloads has been noticeably improved. Usually we have the habit of criticizing and we miss the improvements. So thank you very much for this great improvement.
Rudel_chw Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 My belief is that this change benefits mostly those people whose Internet Service Provider applies traffic shapping to torrent downloads, making them much slower than they have to be. On my case, my ISP does not impede torrent traffic, and thus I haven't noticed an improvement on the download speeds, but I'm glad that it benefits others that are not so lucky with their ISPs.

I got steady 15MB/sec for today's patch, which is close to what I usually get from Steam game downloads. So yeah, thanks ED for making massive updates less painful. :thumbup: PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com

I have a 130 Mbit/sec cable Internet connection, and I'm trying to download the latest update. It's 10.7 Gigabytes compressed, and I'm getting ~250 KB/sec., which is atrocious. I cannot switch between HTTP and Torrent methods to download it--it won't let me.

Phantom453 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 For the past few updates the download rate has maxed my NBN D/L bandwidth (6 MB/s). Today, with a much bigger patch and I'm sure plenty wanting it, I'm getting ~2.6 - 3 MB/s from the start of the download. However, about halfway through the download of the update only (not Channel map or P-47) and the download speed has slowed to 260 - 320 KB/s :cry:

Not expecting miracles, but I'm also getting about 1/4 to 1/3 MB/sec which is horrendous. It's a 10.7 GB download!!

YSIAD_RIP Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I have a feeling some Update servers are OFFLINE.. It looks like half of the Update Servers are down, according to my SkateZilla Updater Utility.

Terry Dactil Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 There seems to be an unusually large number of update servers offline right now. ( around 0200 UTC) However NBN in OZ (Melbourne) is giving me an OK speed around 6 MB/s. :thumbup:

I am just going to take a nice long Healthy Walk. Cheers. That sucks, I'm about 2/3 through the download and my speeds are around 150 KB/sec now. Just terrible. Oh, man... With no torrent mode, we can't share the portion we've already downloaded and help speed it up for everyone else, either. BitTorrent is a great way to transfer data and share files, it's a mighty shame ISPs have their knickers in a knot over it. It helps get around this kind of nonsense.

Instrument lights don't work at all in the newest version? In any module? I haven't tried it yet, just downloaded it.
