Patch download speed is tooo slow
« on: May 04, 2013, 02:28:25 AM »
Now my client is downloading 2.30 Patch1...

This download needs 25MINS for Only 45M byte!!
And i waste a valuable Saturday in this operation :headscratch:

Download finished, but i lost a time to play AH.
I'll install and launch this next time... :(

Hitech, please bring back "ftp.hitechcreations.com" for patch download. :pray

I'm not sure if the server migration will increase the download speeds or not.  I haven't tried to download anything yet since they switched.  

I get speeds up to 8 megabytes per second from Steam, and other games, say Star Trek online, hover around 3 to 4 megs per second.  It'd be nice to see speeds like that, but the AH2 game file is fairly small IMO for what it does, and speeds under 1m/sec aren't really a big deal for me.

edit- Just tried d/l'ing the hi res tex pack as a test, consistent 525kps, which is fast enough for the file size IMO.  If AH2 with the res was a 4 or 5 gig size file like many bloated games, ya maybe complaining about sub 1m/sec speeds I could see, but as it stands, IMO it's just fine.

The downloads server(s) have not changed location.  They are being hosted at Softlayer (formerly known as The Planet).

Thank you FLS! :)

I didn't know that.
Download finished in 5MIN from the page.

My problem is solved.
But I guess that a lot of players have same stress.
(Especially players that login infrequently).

I think it's nice to add the link(to version information page) on Download page ;)
