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.

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.0 -

dustin_ESO4✭✭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.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭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.Edited by MLGProPlayer on April 17, 2018 3:22AM0 -
dustin_ESO4✭✭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.2 -

dustin_ESO4✭✭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.Edited by dustin_ESO4 on April 17, 2018 3:43AM1
