Download nightmare

After 3 days i am finally at 10 MB. I start at 600 k/bs but then it bogs down to under 10. I have downloaded all of Biowares DLC and have never had any issues. So looks like I probably won't be playing. Oh well I have wasted 20 bucks on worse things. Just let me buy a cd so I can get it installed.

    Have you tried reading any of the solutions on the forums. Like the torrent solution?or other solutions that have been posted.

    I have read through them. I am not a technical guy harleys and guns more my strength. I don't have the knowledge to mess with ports and that kind of stuff. But thanks for responding.

    just delete it from the control panel (in the start menu) then re download the independent installer. i was getting 15 b/s then i ended up getting ~1mb/s after i re installed the downloader.

    If I were you, I would use the torrent. I gave up using the standalone downloader.

    It took me less than 30 mins to download with 3% of my connection..
    A few tips.

    Enable P2P (so you share but also gain from other peers)
    Restart the downloader if you see probems (IE timeouts etc)

  • kansasbarbariankansasbarbarian Member Posts: 206
    791 MB and still dl @ 660 k/bs. And the p2p is on.

    What connection do you have and what ISP? maybe its a ISP problem rather than a problem with the downloader

  • kansasbarbariankansasbarbarian Member Posts: 206
    I have cable connection (supposedly fastest) 75 bucks a month. Don't know ISP.
  • kansasbarbariankansasbarbarian Member Posts: 206
    Duh sorry CableOne is ISP. Brain fart.

    You have 3 days to download 2G, there is no need of hurry.
    600kb/s is good enough (though i used to DL this game at 1Mb/s).
  • KirkorKirkor Member Posts: 700
    I had 200 KB/s with Beamdog downloader for a while.
    Now it's just 100, but it's still good!

    I think the problem is your ISP or the Routing it provides.. but as Avenger so friendly says.. you should be ok.. I do recommend you to try and restart/even reinstall the downloader from beamdog..

    Sweet pre load is complete. Now I am going to the casino.
  • ElofElof Member Posts: 42
    Time of day is important too I think. I tried downloading three times. First two was in the evening here, so I will have been fighting with all you yanks for download rate too. Tried again this morning (while you're all blissfully slumbering) and I was getting 5MB/s. It downloaded in less than 10 minutes... :)
