Need help with installing, no one on tech forums

I've been trying to install the game for two days now and it is only at 20% on the Bethesda Launcher.... it's only DL at 350kb/s and I usually run somewhere in the MB/s range. Anyone know why it would be downloading at such a slow pace? About 16hours I have had this up and only 20% that's insane. I went into the launcher settings and my DL speed is UNLIMITED so idk what's going on - NO OTHER GAMES that I have DL have done this.


I tried to start over as well and after the launcher installs direct X and some other pre-req it disappears and I can't pull it up anywhere but it shows the ESO icon on my taskbar and ***.

This is so frusturating and I can't find any answers anywhere - anyone here have ANY idea??

    I noticed that the download speed will deteriorate over time.
    When that happens, i usually pause (not cancel) the download for a minute or so and then resume.

    At 350kb/s the initial download will take forever ...

    Sounds like you're experiencing the oh-so-craptastic ratings that American ISP companies currently have. We are rated as one of the worst countries in the world for internet services and crap like this continues to contribute to that.

    Are you downloading through steam? If so, make sure to check the download region. Go to Steam > Settings > Downloads tab and check that the region is nearest to you, if not, change it. You can also try different regions near you and maybe it will help.

    Early on I remember there was some problem with unlimited DL bandwidth allocation, try setting it to 10MB/s?
