Thread where we complain about the download speed.

You can listen to this while downloading to get better immersion

 

Forwarding ports on your NAT router or opening ports in your firewall so that incoming connections can reach your computer.

Updated updater was updated successfully

 

Restarted the updater, and now I have 1 MB/s!

 

are you prepared for the grand opening?

 

eh?

 

This helped me too. It went from about 20 kb/sec to about 1.5 MB/sec.

 

Tantalizingly close right now, I can almost imagine the Pigeon hilarity now...


EDIT


Now Seeding, enjoy 40-50 Kb/s more!

 

5 1/2 hours downloading and at 57%. At this rate it will be another nine months until my next update.

 

I went to sleep for 5 hours, the download had an error when it finished, it downloads from only 30 to 85 KB/s (Even slower) now.

 

How about be patient and release that this isn't Steam, a million dollar company, it's four guys trying to cater to a bunch of complainers

 

If it takes another month to update, I really wouldn't care. I spend very little time gaming these days.

However, the way the updates (or lack thereof) played out over the last 9 months or so and these seemingly poor planning over the logistics of the update release, it seems a bit cracker-jack to me. I know, it's only 4 guys. Again, no question about thier talents or work ethics.. But once your game is pay to play, you open yourself to criticism. And a lot of the criticism over the past few months regarding the updates, and now the download speeds, is valid criticism.

 

I restarted...AAAAAAND it won't work.
Edit: Got it working...at 600 b/s. WHYYYYY????

 

It's alot better now, hopefully the updater will run overnight without a problem.

 

I restarted my computer and I'm getting good speeds.... and getting better.

 

lol, I restarted my updater as some said it would go faster.

Went from 120kb/s to 4kb/s. God, I haven't seen these speeds since like...2000.

The worst part is I got bored today and decided to re-download the Stanley Parable, I was getting 10Mb/s on that.

 

Mine is only at 5.50 kbs for the past 20 minutes!.... ughhh this bites!!!

 

Seeding takes forever.
(Excuse me for not knowing this, but what is seeding?)

 

It means you have finished downloading all the files and are now serving data to the rest of us.
You can play the game now...

 

With ATT Uverse I had to open this on my firewall. speeds went from around 20KB/s to averaging 150KB/s now. just make sure you close it when done.
