Report article Update on slow download speeds

We have noticed a number of complaints about downloads since the new download system came online.

Posted by Greg on Jun 26th, 2009 digg this super bookmark


It looks like our EU server provider has changed their upstreams and for some reason we are no longer getting the 1Gbps out of our EU mirror we were previously.

We are investigating this - and for a short period of time your downloads may be re-routed via our US mirror, and or Filefront.

Once we have resolved the speed issues, we will update the blog right here to let you know.

Hmm, I did experience slower downloads. And from what Greg says, it makes sense now: I'm romanian, so I do use EU mirrors.

I ain't downloading here anymore! I'm stuck at 40kbps! Also Filefront appears to be slow and all the servers of moddb are overloaded. And for some reason my computer doesn't like fileplanet. Or my ISP... Is also possible

Good luck

I hope these problems get solved. I haven't downloaded anything lately from Mod DB, though, but when I do, I generally use the EU mirror.
