Downloading at 95KB/sec ... seriously ?

Come on Sprocket ... gotta do better!

Signed, a disgruntled downloader !

Your not the only person downloading the game...

The server hosting the download is probably getting swamped now right now.

Change your DL location in the dropdown.

I got nearly 1.5 mbps down on the cal 2 one.

Yeah I am getting much better speeds from the CA one, despite being in the UK.

Also, if you change download location, it seems to restart the download.

Gotta do better.

i Changed download speed if 1 meg ready in 30 mins, also my download didnt restart :) Nice TIP Tontow

Europe was agonising slow. California came through for me though.

I really do wish we could have some sort of preload mechanic on Sprocket/BI store. Downloading 3 gigabytes at 180 kB/s is not a good launch experience.

I never thought I'd say this, but thank fuck for Steam. :D

On a more serious note, this happens with Sprocket pretty much every time there's a new release, so BIS really need to step their game in that respect. The one mostly positive Sprocket release I can remember is Take On Helicopters, and even there it didn't quite manage to max out my bandwidth. I really hope they do better with Arma3 and DayZ.

MadDogX there are several mirrors for Sprocket ... some might be more overloaded than others ...

also these mirrors are 1+GBit each ...

thanks for the heads up.

[kremator 1065]

Can confirm .... use CA mirror as it is MUCH faster !

[rjc0235 1]

same here. litteraly spent all day downloading it, to find out they screwed up my download and it downloaded the beta. FFS

Hah! 95 kb/s is still faster than my maximum speed.

I was downloading very soon after release from DK, ranging from 700 to 200 kbps in the end. But for obvious reasons whining is inappropriate here. @Threadstarter: Welcome to the Internet!
