I am trying to install the open beta and I am getting less than 500kb downloads through either Torrent or HTTP. This has to be fixed. I have 1gb fiber and it is working just fine so internet is not the issue

I find that the default download mode (Torrent) runs at wildly varying download rates generally way below 5 Mbps. The upload bit rate if frequently higher than the download rate.

 

When I switch to HTTP the download rate is far more steady, mostly above 50 Mbps which is about 5 MBps and I consider that satisfactory. My network access is rated at 400 Mbps, but I have never seen any download exceeding 150 Mbps.

The updated torrentfunction of the DCS updater still not work properly. My download speed ist not above 1MB/s. After Cancelling torrent and using http method i have 8-10MB/s.

 

Most likely your ISP is throttling torrent traffic.

@c0ff, I am noticing also low speed using torrent. Not sure if can be caused by ISP because downloading torrent through uTorrent app is not affected.

 

I changed the default torrent settings in 2.9.17, what's your impression?

Btw, you can feed the same torrents into uTorrent and check the speed.

There's even an option in the updater to keep the torrents after downloading.

Update today:

 

...

 

I can do some more tests if you will tell me what to do. I started downloading that other torrents after switching to web update and finishing update.

 

That's not a fair comparison.

You can cancel the update download completely and feed torrent files from

_downloads\.torrents\

to your client of choice.

 

That will be fair.

Files seems to be from some older update: DCS-2.5.5.41962-PERSIANGULF_terrain.common-base-0

 

Nah, the torrents are reused if there're no content changes.

Can you please send me the settings of your torrent client?

And if you happen to use qBittorrent, check it as well, please - it uses the same library.

Don't put this on isp at all. Just sounds like an easy out.

 

I have 200/200 and all network related runs full speed, netflix , youtube , twitch etc.

 

Downloads from EX: Nvidia and steam are running fine.

 

I know these are major hubs and have a gigantic server park, but just admit that yours is smaller and we can help you make it more efficient.

On the torrent side there could be an option to seed more than just when we are downloading.

 

Also when I update the upload is like 0.5kb/s. Ican can share way more than that :)

 

"EDIT" Just read post 10. So we can seed ...cool will try it and see what is what :)

@macedk, if you would read whole thread you could notice that when downloading using bittorrent client speed is high, so it's probably caused in dcs_updater.exe torrent client and c0ff is trying to find where the issue is.

 

Btw you did same assumption that it's caused by their "ISP"... I am getting very high torrent speeds on computer in different location...

Just came here to see if anyone else was having an issue. My internet speeds are around 240Mbps. Start the DCS Updater 2.9.17.19 to install modules and my internet slows to a crawl, like less than 0.5mbps crawl. It affects my entire internet coming into my computer, can't hardly get a webpage to load. Cancel and close the DCS updater and internet speeds jump back up to full speed. It is repeatable, happened yesterday and today.

Seems like either your router or your firewall does not keep up with the number of connections used for torrents. I've increased the limit recently.

We can do a test, wait for a PM from me.
