Download is Slow: Any tips?

I'm trying to preload and it is going between 20 and 200 KB/s. I've never had issues with p2p before and my router is generally properly configured. Maybe there's something abnormal about how this game uses p2p (such as an unusual port or something)?

Or is 20-200KB/s the average and it's just kind of awful to download? Really hoping to play this game at 3 and usually with 3MB/s I don't have to worry about "preloading".

Thanks!

    hey man I believe it's just because they didn't anticipate so many people trying to load the game today. Servers are at full capacity. I'm rocking 11 kbps to around 30 kbps and am usually up to 2mbs so I think it's just the server overload. Be patient! I know I am, so excited for what Trent Oster and these guys have done!

    I'm having the same trouble as you I think.

    I had downloaded the pre-load stuff earlier this week, now it's been sitting at 1.3GB (Oh! 1.4 as we type), and I've been getting speeds hovering between 20KB-50KB, but not much higher.

    When I right click on the download bar and save the connection info, the log file has lots of messages that look like this:

    •Dropped None connection to tcp://

    Any thoughts?

    I found this in another thread:

    Blixx said:
    Please make sure to have ports 56274 and 52138 TCP/UDP open. Otherwise the P2P client will not connect to the tracker .

    Download speeds are up in the 400's now.

    Up above 1MB/s at this point... I'm willing to concede that was the problem.

    Was this information hidden somewhere (in plain sight of course), and I just missed it?

    @Stu.

    I am not very good at this computer thing. How do I check if those ports are open?
