Jas451 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Having to unfortunately do a reinstall of Windows 7 I find myself being totally frustrated by the pace of reinstalling my Orbx's products. With approximately 45 products to install plus freeware FTX Central only gives me download speeds 10-30 KB/s with a 100 MB/s download speed service. This means it takes 4-5 hours per product to install. Now that the manual download limit has been set at 5 per day we are still talking about 9 days to install everything. Even trying to install the old files downloaded from FSS is painfully slow. Although FSS has re-enabled validation on the install wrappers. The wrappers are taking 2-2.5 hours unwrap the installer. There has to be a better way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Goff Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 It sounds like you're hitting edge servers on the CDN that have not been propagated previously. Try disabling the Orbx CDN in FTX Central settings to directly connect to our central download server. That may yield better download speeds.

Jas451 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thanks for the quick reply. Did that this am. Will try again and see if the download speed has picked up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmiG Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Also, once you do have everything installed and working, take a backup copy using the method Nick described: That way, when you next need to re-install, you only have to copy the files from a backup location instead of re-downloading everything.
