I am posting this here as well, as I have in another post.
"I am also facing utterly slow downloads.... Sometimes no more than 150Kb p/s. And that its when my other downloads runs at 25MB p/s. Any way ED can just make the base install available somewhere else?"
Answer I got from BIGNEWY:
"We are trialling new delivery systems currently.
Can you tell me what part of the world you are in?"
Answer I sent:
"Hi. I am in South Africa
I just purchased some modules, campaigns and terrain, and it is downloading at between 350 and 700kb/s. That is for around 32GB.
Normal download speed for me is 25MB/s and for torrents usually between 5MB/s and 23MB/s"
Anyway, we do not have the choice anymore of torrent or http.
And my ISP does not throttle or shape torrents or any p2p downloads.
