Content Write Error - Cannot download PTS

MLGProPlayer · April 2018

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.

Yep. Same here

Wolfkeks · April 2018

Same here.

Eclecticbill · April 2018

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 · April 2018

Yes it's slow

Kadoin · April 2018

Same...

zassasaurus · April 2018

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

TequilaFire · April 2018

Was going fine till maintenance was complete.

Chakei · April 2018

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

Valkysas154 · April 2018

800kb-1mbsec for the last 40min

ops

Donari · April 2018

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 · April 2018

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!

majulook · April 2018

varying between 12.34 - 13.67 MB/s for me.

vendeatha · April 2018

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

dustin_ESO4 · April 2018

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 · April 2018

Yup 400kps and I have fibre broadband

TequilaFire · April 2018

Reminds me of my 300 Baud telephone modem days.

WTB dial up internet sounds for the lulz

MLGProPlayer · April 2018

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 · April 2018

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 · April 2018

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

MLGProPlayer · April 2018

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.

dustin_ESO4 · April 2018

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 · April 2018

Yeah mine downloaded real slow as well

Rohamad_Ali · April 2018

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 · April 2018

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.
