Is it me, or did ED forget to feed the server hamsters this holiday weekend? Download speed started fine but fell to 16.4KB/s 

I'm amazed they actually did a patch during Easter.

What about the liveries for the GDR?

Download speed between 0 and 2.3 mbs (((

Sure, but they camouflaged the chocolate eggs too well so that it took far too long for the hamsters to find them:

Any server problems known? DL-Rate is very poor...

DL-Rate seems OK now !

I cancelled the update and started again.

did that several times. But only get a max of 3 MB/s and often it drops to zero...

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

Yeah I hope ED can fix their server issues. This patch took over 2 hours to download, instead of the 10 minutes it would have taken at my usual connection speed.

[av8orDave]

Clearly having server issues... download is barely moving.

[Slippa]

Mine's saying 35Mbs at 22mins atm, we'll see. 

Edit: ...and it's crawling. 00.0-2.2Mbs, still only 20 mins

Nope. Unfortunately, I do not see any new presets.

[EntropySG]

Speeds were very slow, the reason wasnt clear as our CDN was reporting all good. 

But things are much better today and downloads seem to have returned to a normal speed. 

thank you

Thanks new update patch.

Not written in today's changelog though,
updated DCS folder timestamp shows F-5E 2024 module is retouch around its textures.
I can see only file/folder timestamps. I cannot figure out what changes are done internally.
Is it planned one ?

4.7GB download - what are you not telling us about?

10 GB for me... I have no clue...

[Tarres]

Same here, 10GB...

[Raven (Elysian Angel)]

Yup, just over 10GB here as well. Seems a tad large for "just" DTC changes 

*The plot thickens*

[virgo47]

The same here, but I didn't make anything of it... until now! Now it seems like a conspiracy.
