Hey,

I got a new PC and Just wanna start ESO, I did an Speedtest and got 70mb/s as an result, but the ESO launcher only downloads with 10-11mb/s?

Is there a solution for this to increase DL Speed?

    Your confusing the two ways data streams are measured.

    All Telecom speeds are stated in megabits per second. It takes 8 bits to make a byte. The computer, and the Launcher, state speeds in megabytes per second.

    So, take the number shown in the launcher, multiply it by 8, and you have the speed of the download stated the same way your circuit speed is.

    Or, in your case, it's about the same.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Wait, the speed test Said 70000kb/s, this would be around 70mb/s, right? Launcher Just says 10mb/s, so how IS that the same?

    70 Mb/s = 10 MB/s, one byte or B = 8 bit or b.
    in telecom we use bit but internal in computers we use byte
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I still dont understand, but I think U Guys are telling m, that my 10mb/s in the ESO launcher are good, right ? :)

    Thanks for helping a confused Dude haha!

    A general speedtest doesnt show the full truth as applications can set their own dl speed cap, and the amount of traffic the dl servers are seeing can also affect your speed.

    It's the little b vs the big B

    Ah yes, mb versus mB. Internetproviders are using that distinction (most dont know of) to sell their products for over a decade now :wink:

    To answer easily your 1st question : Yes downloading this game is slow as hell.

    But it's only for the base game, update are fast.
