Extremely slow download

MikeyRoy2013 · April 2014

Hey folks, I've been downloading the game for hours now, about 10 gigs left of the 22 but it still saying I'm at 17%. It should read over 50% if the 22 gigs total is correct. Anyone else having slow downloads? Will there be another download after the 22 gigs?

Thanks

Hi. Not sure why it is so slow for you. Did you try a traceroute to see if there is any problems with the route?

Also worth ensuring the OS X Firewall is switched OFF during download and that any router firewall is not blocking it in some way.

System Preferences > Secuirty & Privacy > Firewall

This is in OS X 10.9 Mavericks, It may be slightly different in other versions.

They updated the list of ports that need to be open for ESO here. Worth doing to avoid issues at launch:

WHAT PORTS DO I NEED TO OPEN TO ACCESS THE GAME?

To best access The Elder Scrolls Online, players should configure their routers to open the following outbound ports:

TCP / UDP Ports 24100 through 24131

TCP / UDP Ports 24500 through 24507

I believe the Launcher install uses other ports but I can’t find any reference for those.

Maybe worth shutting down the Mac, reboot the router and try again. Sometimes helps with downloads.
