Downloads of stdshape and new terrain glacially slow to seattle, wa area

[Brooke]

Am in the process of installing Aces High for my nephew in Seattle, WA area.

Downloading stdshape.res estimated to be 2 hours.  I just uploaded it to Google drive and had him download it in 3 minutes.

Then started game, went to download Italy terrain.  Is taking about 10 minutes (which is drastically longer than I am used to in Tennessee).

Might be some network issue getting HTC data out to west coast?

pretty normal for my experiences around the world, some routing issue with his ISP where using a VPN and changing my location will cut it down to the appropriate time.

I’ll look into uploading it to my site server. Upload is painfully slow. DL should be faster tho.

Might be a bandwidth balancing allocation issue

last time I looked into it I concluded that its a routing issue at Level 3 Communications.
