Is this normal? Unbelievably slow DL... normally I can DL 4 gigs in 30 mins tops. 18% after 5 hrs.............

    This is normal when you have all of the US megaserver players d/ling at the same time :D
    And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.

    It's not just you. My download speed isn't even 25% of what it usually is.

    You're not capped, there's just thousands of other people you're competing with for download bandwidth.

    I had no issue at all. I downloaded and installed the patch in about 30 min. I was getting my ISP rated speed at 7 mB/s so I don't think the issue is with zenimax on this one

    Its not the game. Its your connection to the cdn. Reset your download and it may improve connection speeds. It worked me

    Why do poeple lie and/or accuse others of stuff so often and so quickly.

    30mb norm vs 160kb.... it literally just sits at 158kb-160kb no one is lieing or accusing...you are putting words in my mouth based on one little thing i said in the title of this thread. My DL is capped...... Why do people like you make useless non constructive comments?

    I would assume ZoS pay for distribution services hosted by third party provides to push large patches.
    They would not host these updates from their own gear.
    Complain to the third party providers (if you know who they are), their upstream providers or your ISPs upstream providers.
    Some or all are obviously unable to cope with current demand.
    Or .. come to the forums to complain.

    PS: And I hear this game is dead? You should be able to update in minutes then I guess.

    Its not the game. Its your connection to the cdn. Reset your download and it may improve connection speeds. It worked me

    I just restarted the launcher, it was crawling at 81% (well into the 2nd download) and when I reopened the launcher it quickly verified the 1st download but didn't make it all the way through and now has to finish downloading the 1st chunk, and is only at 59%. And I'm still getting the same download speed of ~500kb/s that randomly jumps down to ~100kb/s every now and then.

    Point is, I was hoping resetting would help but it set me back. Not your fault (obviously), just sharing my experience with this slow download that ZoS forces us through.
