John Venema Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hello all, FSS recently moved the Orbx downloadable product ZIP files to a new content delivery network infrastructure (or CDN for short). This CDN is causing some download failures, low speeds, and lack of support for download manager software for our customers, and we're acutely aware that not being able to get to your paid-for ZIP installers would be very upsetting to many people. I can assure you I am working with Adrian and Jay to remedy the problem asap, and will keep you posted. We apologise if this has cause you any inconvenience thus far.

John Venema Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 UPDATE: I've been told that this is a major optic fibre backbone issue which is affecting Australian customers at the moment, and it's not unique to our CDN. Can I ask if anyone outside of Australia has had slow download speeds from FSS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray1935 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 John, I had the exceptionally slow download speed of 16kBs when downloading. Adrian however came to the rescue with alternate download sites. I'm in New Zealand. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice_King Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I really think the Download should be spanned across 3 or 4 more manageable pieces simply so download managers can cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-mike Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I had the same slow dl-speeds here in germany like Ray. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big-mike Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Just visited the FlightSimStore and dl the SP3 YPEC and YWVA. Three servers are online and now the speed is fine. Thanks for that! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
