CptTangerine Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi I am trying update my Beta version and the download starts off at the sorts of speeds that I would expect (about 3MB/s) for the first set of files and then, every time, suddenly drops to about 3 - 5Kbp/s. This is the first time that I have had this problem. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. Any thoughts / ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated. I have tried downloading the update several times over several days so it doesn't seem to just be an internet connection glitch. Everything else seems to be coming downstream as normal. Cheers!

Balzarog Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 How many peers in the torrent? The more peers, the faster the download. If not many are downloading, the download is slower.

CptTangerine Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 There were about 50 which is the same amount as for the beginning part that rocketed down. It just gets to a certain amount of download and slows to a crawl - I tried it again yesterday and, at some points, it was as slow as 0.3Kbp/s. I tried hitting cancel and it appears to crash - it tells me that it's disconnecting from the swarm but nothing else happens, it just sits there with the progress bar full and that message for, as far as I can see, ever. There was no indication that it had switched successfully to an HTTP download. It's odd.

Balzarog Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hmmm, when you hit "cancel," it will disconnect from the swarm , and continue downloading by http.

CptTangerine Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Well, theoretically. I have never done it, so I don't know what it looks like, but there is nothing to show that it is working that way.

CptTangerine Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Yep. That's exactly what happens. I'm just hoping that the problem is something to do with the updater and that it will fix itself in the next update. There's no reason for the problem to have started, with luck it will just go away.

Damalio Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I have Gig internet. Speed tests are 930MB/s Down and Up. I am reinstalling DCS on a new PC and I'm only getting 0.7Mb/s DL Rate.

Ideally you want to be one of the first to start the download to get the best speeds. I have Gig service as well and unpacking the download for install took longer than actually downloading it for me.

Nealius Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Slow as usual for me. 46 peers and speeds between 9KB/s and 20KB/s. Speedtest tells me my current download speed is 50Mbps.....the download started off quite high, 1-2MB/s, then after about 20 minutes the speeds suddenly tanked.

If not many are downloading, the download is slower. Well I bought MSFS2020 and it took Me 3 days to download 170GIGS at 5-7 MBps. Right now I am DL'ing 2.7 at 700KBps like normal. why do people in the US seem to get such slow bad speeds ? Are We downloading this from Russia ? You know tons of people are downloading 2.7 as it was just released today..... so Your theory about more peers and a faster download cant be true..... I know peers are listed on some torrent sites, but I am not familiar with DCS and if they use PORTS that can be changed to help DL speeds ?

PiratexCore Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It's the same for me. If I were to download something on steam I get 14 megabytes a second, but the update through the standalone version? 0.8 megabytes a second. It's PAINFULLY slow. Tried restarting it a number of times too, changed nothing. Something has to be wrong with the updater or something, I should not be downloading this slow.

durka-durka Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I have extremely slow download, between 457kb/s to 0.5mb/s. Made sure Windows auto-tuning was on (it already was) and no change. I have attached my autoupdate_log.txt file for reference. It's always been like this, but never this slow.

Savvy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I switched to stand alone befre the update so ED would get more of my money, boy that was a mistake. My updater has been running for over 24hours... currently at around 65% complete, downloading at around 160kb/s. Wish I had stuck with Steam. Edit: I just tried the Auto-Tuning thing above, then restarted. Now it's going much faster. Pity I didn't come in here yesterday.
