Content Write Error - Cannot download PTS

MLGProPlayer

I'm on 1 Gbit internet with uncapped download speed. Is the download server just overloaded right now?

EDIT: Download speeds are fine now, but I'm still getting content read error when it gets to around 2-3 GB remaining.

Attempted:

- Clean reinstall
- Repair

3 downloads in total.

I have a 1 TB SSD with over 500 GB of free space. I have participated in most past PTS cycles, including Dragon Bones not too long ago.

actosh

Yep. Same here

Wolfkeks

Same here.

Eclecticbill

Yeah, been checking for updates during maintenance, none. Apparently Summerset not available for DL til maintenance complete, now everyone trying to DL at the same time. Averaging 1 MB/s for me.

Iselin

Yes it's slow

Kadoin

Same...

zassasaurus

yeah, it also just keeeps stopping and showing WebGet request failed for me....

TequilaFire

Was going fine till maintenance was complete.

Chakei

Currently at 0.0 kb/s, so.....yep.

Valkysas154

800kb-1mbsec for the last 40min

I was in the low MB/s for 45 minutes, during which I got to 33% -- and was about to post here that I was at 33% when it suddenly super sped up and now I'm at 90%.

Aebaradath

Yeah, pretty slow on my end too. Roughly 800kb to 1MB/s.

This is working for me so far. Went from 100kbps back up to 30MBPS. I'm wondering if this is an issue with Akamai's load balancers since it seems like everyone was getting pushed to the same endpoint.

Need more hamster power!

varying between 12.34 - 13.67 MB/s for me.

vendeatha

Looks like be here till tomorrow morning to get 100% sigh Slow is a understatement

Whatever just happened has made a huge improvement. Back to normal DNS resolution and I'm back to 12-16MBps at least for now.

I've never used akamai as a CDN, but I'd imagine more instances could be spun up for the day and added to a load balancer to help with some of the initial load for a major patch with a lot of invites going out to people who normally wouldn't be on the PTS.

rumple9

Yup 400kps and I have fibre broadband

Reminds me of my 300 Baud telephone modem days.

WTB dial up internet sounds for the lulz

MLGProPlayer

It surged to 35 MB/s for a few minutes, which got me to 10% complete, and now it tanked again. Jumping between 1-1.5 MB/s now.

dustin_ESO4

Same. Mine was doing pretty well. Now it's just chilling at like 1MBps. It's painful. I've only pulled 11GB, so 48 more to go...

*High five* I have 48 GB left too.

clwinters

Same for me. Been downloading for over an hour and have only 11%.

MLGProPlayer

I got to like 2 GB left and then content write error lol.

Had to uninstall and restart, but it's going at 50 MB/s now that less people are downloading.

I also had the content write issue and gave up entirely on this until now. Really hard to test something that you can't actually download.

Once I actually get this downloaded, I might just up a torrent. I've got gigabit so I can at least seed it out instead of the single hamster they've got turning the wheel for the PTS CDN.

Bullitt

Yeah mine downloaded real slow as well

Rohamad_Ali

I gave up . I'll let it download over night while I sleep . Rediclous slow .

Just got content write error again at 2 GB remaining.

dustin_ESO4

Actually, I'm seeing a huge increase in speed right now.

@ZOS
I'm also seeing DNS return one IP instead of two for the PTS patcher. DNS is google's public, so something may have been cached as the TTL was 24h. For a CDN on a virtual environment such as Akamai's CDN, I'd suggest lowering the TTL to something like 6 hours since you guys are just running a CNAME to a CNAME to Akamai's DNS name and it was resolving both.
