The log file attached to my previous post was a little large. Attached is a screenshot of the download progress. See how it is "busy" (very slow) on the last 2nd last extraction file 1712/1713. This is consistent with all my Orbx Central scenery installation downloads. Out of interest, where are the files located that are being downloaded (which country)?

Hi Matt Thanks for this. I really have a problem with Orbx Central Downloads. They start normally and when it gets to the second last extracted file, it slows down to around 350 kB/s. The date / time (UTC or mention your time zone): 2014-01-14. All day (from 0600Z to now - still downloading). South Africa, Johannesburg. What product you were downloading: MSFS EGNM v2 (and others bought over Christmas period) General details such as any errors, messages, metrics you can note down: No errors reported. The key issue is that all the Orbx Central downloads behave in the same way - very fast to begin with and then after about 50-70 % of the total download, the download speed starts to drop and ultimately drops to around 350 kB/s. A log from Orbx Central. See attached from today. Any other details you think relevant. I have a 100Mb/s fibre optic connection. Cool Ideas DFA Dark Fibre. Most products from other vendors download around 20-80 Mb/s. Tested my internet speed with Ookla and I get >90 Mb/s download speed and >95 Mb/s upload speed while the Orbx download is going at 350 kB/s. Its been like this for years - so it is not a new problem and it does not depend on the time of day or different days. I do not have any antivirus program. No one else was using the network at the same time. Thanks for any help! Happy to provide other information if needed. I'll try using my phone (hotspot) to download via the GSM network to see if this helps but I need to find my WiFi dongle again. I use a LAN Ethernet cable from my router. central.log

Hi there. I have the same problem. Progressively slower and slower download speeds as the download continues. I have had this same problem for years. I do not have this problem with any other vendors or downloads and have a PREMIUM service provider. I have tried the advice given above to restart Orbx Central and resume the download. This does not work and even if it did, this is not a viable solution to an ongoing and consistent problem. I understand what is being said about it not being Orbx's problem so I am not blaming the Orbx servers. However, I am asking for assistance regarding how to realistically solve this problem. The downloads start at high speed and then as the download progresses, it dwindles to around 360kB/s and takes all night to download. Thanks,
