Help: Slow download of updates

[scutters]

Hi guys
I'm have problems downloading the new patch(was slow on the other patches too but as they where small a 5 min wait was nothing), my download speed is not getting above 10kB/s, I have a 8meg adsl connection and have no problem downloading at 750kB/s from good download sites.

was wondering if anyone had any ideas or solutions to fix this?

at the moment i have 5 hours to wait for the new patch

Anyone got any ideas?

I haven't downloaded update yet, but in the past, if a download from Mindark starts and it is crawling without improvement for 30 seconds, I cancel it, wait about a few minutes and try again.
I'm not sure if this is still true, but they used to have 3 download servers (on separate IP addresses) and 1 of the 3 was stoopid slow.

Did you choose the right connection speed in the client loader options?

Try restarting the download after a system reboot (and reboot modem/router). If that doesn't work, stop downloading so much rooster porn.

I don't think the connection speed in the client loader options has anything to do with the speed of downloading updates.

205Kb/sec here

Well I´m not sure either but it´s worth a try I guess?!

Not sure why is so slow for you, hope it gets better. I'm downloading the patch for the 2nd time because first time it was a corrupted install so had to reinstall client.
There should be really an option to dl updates manualy.

Download going at >250kB/s, coming from 195.128.241.4 via HTTP download. (I thought the downloads were by FTP before, but I could be losing my mind.)

There are 6 download servers, and you get one of them when the download process starts and looks up the hostname download.entropiauniverse.com. The information is cached by your computer for 5 minutes.
So if you get a slow download, Abort and wait 5 minutes.

The true unix geeks reading this should really appreciate the reverse lookups for the download IPs:
2.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer daikiba.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.
3.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer estophyl.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.
4.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer formicacida.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.
5.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer globster.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.
6.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer hispidus.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.
7.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer itumatrox.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.
8.241.128.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer kreltin.cdn.entropiauniverse.com.

i also have low speed while dl-ing updates. i use 10Mbit connection and i reach less then 2Mbit while upgreading to new vu

 

[Silver Viking]

First update today took about 20 to 30 mins, with avg. dl speed around 260 kB/s, the new updates crawls away at about 60 kB/s
will take about 90 mins to get it.
Have canceled it, have rebooted PC, have reconnected, still same speed ( or lack of speed )
