yonyz Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Hi, I am downloading DCS Black Shark off the DCS website (purchased months ago, already downloaded once, but formatted since), but I am having some difficulties: 1. The download speed never exceeds 50 kbps, and is usually 25 kbps. So it takes like 24 hours to get all the files I need for the game, not including the patch, which is another 1GB. 2. Most links to the Data1.cab file of the DCS BS installer are broken as far as I can tell. I get errors on both Free Download Manager and Orbit Downloader, and one link failed (rendering the Resume option useless) at around 135MB both times I tried downloading it. I am now trying for the third time. I hope by tomorrow morning I will have the game. Please let me know whether or not these problems occur to you as well.

MTFDarkEagle Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Hmm... I just tried it, I got around 600 on the FTP (running for about 10 seconds). You might want to try the torrent. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread

EtherealN Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Tried all servers now, all except FTP 5 max out my connection (8mbps cellular), no file errors. Yonyz, it sounds like either your ISP or your ISP's backbone provider is having some issues. I'm seeing the Israel backbone is yellow-marked, but only for ping issues, not packetloss, but there might be an issue ongoing there.

yonyz Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 Well I was surprised because I had Steam download some game at 1.1mbps, which is as fast as my internet goes. Anyway, I have all the files now, and I will burn them to a DVD for the next time I format.
EtherealN Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah, it depends on relative routes - for example, Steam might have a datacenter in Israel which is where you would then download from, rendering any possible backbone issues much less of a worry than intercontinental comms. If a specific node that you have to cross to get to the ED servers but not to get to the Steam servers is congested, you'd see something similar to what you described. That said, might be something else as well, would have to sit down with some loggers to actually know for sure. Thanks for your patience though and enjoy. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
yonyz Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah, there is a Middle East option for the Steam downloads, which is actually here in Israel, but I am actually connected to some German server. And thank you all for the information.
