Slow download speed

[lov3]

Hi everyone!

 

For some reason downloading the TBM900 is really slow. I'm downloading from Europe. Is anyone else having the same problem with download speeds? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Update: Download speed is now up to 108 KB/s but it is still extremly slow.

 

Edit: speed dropped back to 87 KB/s.

Speed dropback

After more than 2 hours of downloading, it still hasn't finished.

 

Download speed dropped to 42 KB/s, I think something is wrong with the download server.

Not sure why this is happening.  Silly question, but are you or someone in your household maybe downloading or uploading something else?

Nope, download started when everyone was still asleep, and no one in my household is download/uploading anything. Downloading other files goes way quicker even tho they are heavier. I think this a server side problem (but who am I to decide). I saw a post on Reddit dating a few months back were someone had the same issue.

 

 

Besides, I just went out with everyone for 2 hours, let the computer on (not in sleep mode) and it progressed less than 20%. And just asked everybody, no one was downloading/uploading anything.

I know that X Aviation uses servers in various locations around the world, so my only guess is the ones in Europe are slow for some reason. From memory, xa uses Amazon servers.

I could use a VPN and try downloading through a American IP, and see if that makes any difference. I'm just afraid that I'll be blocked for piracy like others. (Read about that on Reddit).

Hi Goran_M,

I've just reinstalled 1.4c to see if there's a general problem in Europe for you.  I am in the UK, using the BT Open Reach network and the download took two to three minutes.  Whilst this isn't maxing out my connection it's fairly normal for these upgrades.

Regards BT

That's weird. So or my computer is just glitching out or my server connection is actually really slow. Btw thanks for testing it out!

Using a VPN shouldn’t block you. The DRM uses your machine ID and account details. Location shouldn’t matter.

Alright, thanks for the clarification. I wasn't too sure how the system worked. 

[lov3]

Alright so after over 5 hours of waiting the download is almost done!

Downloaded and installed the TBM900! This plane is just amazing and one of the best GA aircraft for XP11 out there! Thanks for all the help @Goran_M and @boredtechie, It's greatly appriciated.
