Thread where we complain about the download speed.

Well... That's 5 hours of my life i'll never get back. The updater didn't do anything at all!!!

 

I still need to wait 8 hours to download 500 MB!
Someone owes me 55324896242868746 Zimbabwe dollars.

 

It looks like that HDDs are the bottleneck of the seeding.

My WD Black was at the limit by handling the data for uploading 0.7Mbit/s and downloading at 3Mbit/s
It reported access times in the range of 1 to 2 seconds.

I am now running the updater in a RAM disk the upload speed is raised to 1Mbit/s the limit of my connection

 

sigh

 

No, you were helping the community, so it was doing something.

 

I'm on 50% atm with ok download but when i start seeding i will leave my pc on for a while and upload quite a bit my upload max speed is 80-90kb/s i will if i can try get about 10gb upload so i have helped

- - - Updated - - -

yeah well said,you made all our downloads quicker lol

- - - Updated - - -

Just though of this .
to the devs,
could you make it that the updater could run in the background and put it by the system icons tray in bottom right corner so that its not in the way while i do stuff?

oh and btw i put the updater in the same folder as where i put the game will that be ok ? its made a folder named 'pre race update' so i think its working ok

 

it will be installing the game from scratch in that folder not patching your existing copy

 

oh so i will have 2 copies of beamng drive in one folder right ok i will sort it out .....i have started to upload

 

Currently seeding to help others out.

I'm about to start seeding as well

 

@ 95% will leave this old steam horse on over night to seed so that when new computer is built i dont feel guilty downloading it again..

 

I'm done and I seeded for a while!

 

I have 40 minutes left at approx. 492 KB/S

 

I managed to seed a whopping 80mb on 3g without realising it, do apologise but I had to cut that off because I am capped on 3g data and I am reaching my monthly limit. On broadband, updater still won't connect.

EDIT: scratch that, seeding at 30-40kb/s, I'll leave it awhile, every little helps

 

I downloaded around 500 mb of update yesterday but seeded 800mb lol I was uploading more than I was downloading xDD The server was indeed overloaded.

 

3 MBP\S for the first 60% and now 5 KBP\S why so slow. Tried turning off every wifi connected to, any ideas?

 

Currently on 68% at 170 ish KB/s with 41 minutes to go. I was on 66% at 9.9 KB/s with 9 hours to go, but stopped and then restarted.

I'll leave it seeding if it really is done in 40 mins or so.

Curious way to update - I know nothing about torrenting, so can't comment if this is a good way to do it or not!

Edit: Lord this is slow. Dropped to 90 KB/s, 34 minutes til done apparently. We'll see. I'm so used to getting everything I want NOW on my 80mb connection, this feels like the bad old days of 56k....

Those are awesome speeds.
I think I've seeded over 25GB now. :O
