    Hey, today I found the repository feature but when I download anything, it is seriously slow. It also was slow when downloading manually. Does anyone have any suggestions why?

    Depends on a lot of things:
    • Server load (ie. how many users are download at the same time)
    • Your location/connection
    • Astral forces and planets alignment
    • If server capacity has been surpassed

    Well, check your connection first.
    If that's fine, then it's probably the other and does not depend on you / cannot be done much about.

    Thanks, I think it's my internet as I took a speedtest and downloaded from other websites and it is still slow. Off topic, how can I pause or cancel the download from the in-game repository?

    Not possible at the moment.
    You can although disable 'Automatic Mod Updates' from the Options > Gameplay menu

    Bumping this thread because I have a similar issue. While downloading mods in the in-game repo, some mods will complete in seconds (that are also larger in file size) and some will take forever because it's downloading at a minuscule rate. I downloaded the same file that was going slow in my browser and it completed in seconds.

    Here is a screenshot I took: (I started the MtROR.zip download about 2-3 minutes after the condensa.zip one and I had to scramble to take a screenshot because it was going so fast)


    Speedtest.net result right after:


    Could this be a server load issue like explained above, or is it just something to do with the in-game repo?

    Server loads mainly, as mentioned above.

    Tiny bump but I have internet that limits out at 35 MB/s and averages 7-20 MB/s and it's fine for me.
    If there's a priority option anywhere on your internet connection try setting BeamNG to the highest priority.
    If not, then as previously mentioned in this thread there's nothing much the community or the developers can do about it I'm afraid.
    Another possibility is that something's hogging the download lane, so that little of the download space can go to the repo..
