Neon67 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 which ports do I need to open for torrenting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Anyone having terribly slow updates on the 2.6.22.24 installer? I've been trying to download the 1.5.8OB update for the past 4-5 days now and I'm only getting 70kb/s with 35 peers. HTTP download is equally slow (or slower). I keep having to cancel the update because it would take an entire day to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctguy1955 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) help with DSL or do I need a new modem I am way out in the sticks and I have never gotten anything to D/L faster then 360 kbps. Frontier site that allows me to port forward and see my connection says I am at 3800 kbps and it just took me a day to download DCS open Alpha and now two days to get 2 jets and Normandy and NTTR. The Netgear D2200D dsl modem is what they gave me, would buying a different modem do anything to help my speeds ? Thanks for any help Edited December 17, 2017 by ctguy1955 added a photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The Netgear D2200D dsl modem is what they gave me, would buying a different modem do anything to help my speeds ? Probably not. I've seen cases where changing a crappy modem to a decent model solved DSL issues. But the modem can only do so much. If 3680 Kbit/s downstream is all your ISP can offer you, the maximum download rate would be 460 KByte/s, and so the 337 KByte/s that you're seeing on the downloader isn't perfect, but it's not terribly bad either. To put it differently, downloading the 36193 MBytes from the screenshot would take some 30 hours at 337 KByte/s, and some 22 hours at 460 KByte/s. But I've never seen phone line DSL deliver 100% of its theoretical max. As a rough estimate, take whatever it says in KBit/s, divide by ten, and if it delivers that value in KByte/s, it's quite okay. So with 3600 KBit/s, 360 KByte/s wouldn't be too bad. If there's any chance of upgrading your DSL, try it. Then again, I once moved to a new place, and my Internet Service Provider couldn't deliver the DSL speed I had in my old place. They tried to max the line at 6 MBit/s, but I got disconnects every couple of minutes. I had them downgrade to 3 MBit/s, which was a bit better, and then 2 MBit/s, which was slow, but finally stable. (They still charged me 6 MBit/s). When another company offered VDSL at 50 MBit/s, I made the switch, it worked perfect right from the start, and I never looked back. But this is a city and we were one of the first to get VDSL, and by now FTTH at 100 or even 200 MBit/s. Large parts of Germany still look a lot like what you describe, though. :( With no better DSL options, you might consider Internet via satellite. It's usually more expensive than DSL and still requires a phone line/DSL for the upstream, but it might provide much better downstream, albeit with a lot of latency. Meaning it's okay for downloads, but useless for online gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Netgear D2200D dsl modem is what they gave me, would buying a different modem do anything to help my speeds ? Thanks for any help What speed are you buying from your provider? It is usually expressed as the Download speed in mbs (mega bits per second). What you see as the game download speed is Mega Bytes per sec written as MB/s or MBytes/s. There are 8 bits in a byte so 8mbs = 1MBytes/s. If you are seeing 360KB/s on the download screen that's 0.36 MBytes/s and really crap in this day and age. If it is 360kbs then it's even worse at 45KBytes/s. Your modem can't deliver more than your supplier (ISP) is providing. Check with them. If they are not delivering anywhere near what they are selling you, kick up a stink. If you are buying say 10mbs you should be getting at least near 8mbs at busy times.

GazAce Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Too many whines and no cheese! This isnt launch day, this is Open Alpha, problems can be expected, that said, if you dont have anything constructive to say, dont say anything at all. I gotta agree with you SS, surely everyone should’ve suspected something like this to happen, with so many eating to torrent, it’s server crush time. So why is everyone freaking out? This is exactly what it says Open Alpha and we all know what happens with OA, sometimes there’s more bugs than a African Jungle, so what!? They eventually get ironed out and happy days will prevail. Everyone should take a deep breath, geez there are worse things. Hey when I get home from work soon, I’m not going to touch it, I can still meddle with some mission building and stuff and if I can’t then so be it. Either way I’m going to wait till all the dust settles. Be kind to each other. Cheers and peace to all and let’s try and keep a happy vibe hapoenin. ::) :thumbup: :: 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K :: Asus ROG Strix Z790-A mobo :: Asus Tuff Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti :: NZXT Kraken Elite 280 RGB AIO white cooler :: G Skill Trident Z Royals DDR4 4x16GB = 64GB :: WD Black SN 850X NVMe SSD 2TB M.2 (C Drive) :: Samsung 860 Pro 2TB SATA (D Drive) :: Corsair Crystal 680X White Case :: Asus XG349C 34" Curve G-Sync 180Hz 3440x1440 Mon :: Corsair 850W PSU :: Virpil Constellation Alpha-R Stick with VPC WarBRD Base :: Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle :: 3 x CubeSim ext mini screens with TM Cougar MFD Bezels :: Asus ROG Pugio 503 Gaming Mouse & Razer BlackWidow mech kb :: TrackIR 5 Pro & Cap Clip :: Win 11 64 Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstauning Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 But its not only the Beta updater thats so slow ! Its allways been like that, and with many running the updater at once, gives more to torrent from = higher download speed.. But thats normal torrent, this looks like one is only getting from they server. And that dont makes sense, since Ill have been uploading with anything from 0.5MB/s all the way up to 478MB/s. From this morning (now 5 hours since) Ill have gotten 19.8GB - but have uploaded 276,9GB.. It was the same for me to get 1.5.8 - it took 7 days to get everything ! Michael.
