dabears1020 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Oh OUCH! My computer just crashed after finished a whole GB of the download, which I lost. And to rub salt in the wound, I can't get my download speed over 200 kb/s now, when it was going at 1.5 Mb/s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Abdey Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I happy and slightly surprised to say, thank you Adrian for a faultless download... two hours [aprox], not bad for me, and about as fast as I ever get from BTinternet in the UK.

Wheeli Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Installed and did a short test flight from KSEA, over Seattle, towards the Olympia Mountains and down to Emma Field. Looking gorgeous and look forward to spend a lot of time here all over Thanks for this scenery!

stiletto2 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well, that's me done for now- using GetRight, paused and tried to resume, but it will not resume, so after 1 hour 30 I've got a 5% download that won't resume. AAAAAARGH!!! John After 2 hrs...I had 5 mins left...Getright couldnt finish..trying to resume said it couldnt find server anymore...No way... uninstalled Getright...now basic downloading 2 hrs to go...again... Yes....same problem here.....looks like the FSS servers are not handling the load.........using GetRight....message: same server doesn't support resume....2.5 hours gone now...and back to square one.....sent PM to Adrian.....I am thinking FSS has their hands full right now........

Jay Kae Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 They are handling it fine, this is the definition of a CDN: Users are automatically resolved to a regional network of edge servers closest to their location, and then intelligently routed based on network latency, congestion, upstream ISP & path length. When a request is made to a download server, your ISP will automatically route the packet to the closest SimpleCDN Peering Point, and then we'll route your packet to the closest edge server. We have just crossed the 1TB delivery and that is within 3 hours of release. I am pretty darn pleased with the result so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL19 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well this stinks, using get right I was at 90 bytes (yes 90), until it timed out. Now nothing but server busy. So much for a 24 hour head start. Now I can not even connect, AT ALL. Joe Add to the above each time I try to down load it is taking away from downloads remaining . . .

Lupin500 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Noted this in my Control Panel list of sceneries >> FTX NA PNW PACIFIC NORTHWEST BETA BUILD 5020 So I'm assuming this is a collector's item?

BionicCrab Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Roughly 45 minutes for me I got a min speed of 12-15mbit. Went from KSEA to CYVR in the Twin Otter, with real weather. Too many clouds to get the full benefit tonight but I'll make more rounds in the Saratoga and warmer weather. I noticed the new runway in seattle is there! Awesome!

MrMaestro Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Was downloading at ~140KB/sec, though getting as low as 80 at times - VERY annoying as I'm on a 10Mbps connection. GetRight lost the connection at around 25% and wouldn't reconnect, so after waiting 10 minutes I paused it manually and then resumed it. The connection instantly came back and now it's downloading at a very respectable 800KB/sec. That's mo' like it. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Again, do not forget we are serving one of the biggest downloads ever, plus doing more than 1TB within the 3 hours mark of release, there is not many out there that could achieve that same thing.

Iain_Mc Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I hear ya. I normally get 1Mb/sec downstream and this is arriving at (now) a sluggish 120k/sec. Should have released it as a torrent? Everyone needs a valid access code to install it anyway? Cheers, Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sos Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Guys ... I gues the word is patience. I always expected there to be problems when half the flight simming community tried to download 4.5gb at once. That's why I've ordered the plain cover DVD as well ... which should be here in a few days. If my download eventually comes off ... well, that's a bonus as far as I'm concerned. There's not much I can do about the quirks of the Internet. Suffice is to say ... I'll be soaring over Mt Hood within a week ... no matter what.

stiletto2 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Again, do not forget we are serving one of the biggest downloads ever, plus doing more than 1TB within the 3 hours mark of release, there is not many out there that could achieve that same thing. Though, I have had some troubles with downloading, the CDN is producing at a fantastic download rate....1 TB in 3 hours is amazing! Even more amazing is that demand for the download from the prepays is gobbling all that up and wanting more......if I compute right, you are sending the equivalent of over 70 copies of NA Blue downstream every hour. Congratulations on the number of prepays sold! As far as my download is concerned, got it going again and am now humming along at 500 Kb/s using GetRight.

John Venema Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Guys, without trying to sound condescending, please understand how the internet works. You could have up to 40 different hops between your PC, ISP and eventually our servers in the USA. Note they are in the USA, not Australia, and we are sharing the same CDN network as Steam, which does not come cheap. We have reports of customers downloading the whole 4.21GB in as little as 19 minutes. I myself downloaded it this morning in 4:19 hours. So you can see how variable internet connections can be, and indeed how fickle as well. I guess what I am saying is that we're a planet of nearly 7 billion people and no two internet connections are alike. Problems downloading are no different for Orbx, than it is for Steam, Electronic Arts, or any other major online product release. So please be patient. You'll get the product eventually and then enjoy the scenery. Here's a tip which may help, and I quote from above; "GetRight lost the connection at around 25% and wouldn't reconnect, so after waiting 10 minutes I paused it manually and then resumed it. The connection instantly came back and now it's downloading at a very respectable 800KB/sec. That's mo' like it.". So suggestion: Wait 10-15 minutes then try again. We sold a real LOT of pre-pay copies, so the servers are getting hammered as we expected, but they are coping quite well, with over a terrabyte served in < 3 hours. And those people downloading it in less than 30 minutes .... gee, I wish I had their internet connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKuen Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 John (and all), You will also be able to appreciate our frustration of downloading for hours and then ending up with an incomplete zipfile.

MrMaestro Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Ok now I'm pissed off. My elation has turned to anger. The connection was cutoff and now GetRight has reset the download to 0%. I can't restart because the 1.5GB that needs to be re-downloaded will push my net usage past its cap and I'll get throttled. So now I have to wait till my cap gets reset on the 1st. Whole lot of point to prepaying for me... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain_Mc Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Appreciate all that John, but the wonders of torrents make everything vastly smoother for the masses, and infinitely more resilient as soon as you have a few seeds up in addition to official sources. That system is tailor made for very large files. I've not done a large point-to-point download for months! Something to consider for the future, mebbe. I appreciate it can get things into the hands of ne'er-do-wells faster, but presumably the installer is license-key locked and they'll get it soon enough regardless. Where there's loose morals, there's always a way. Never mind, I suspect this might be finished by the time I wake up tomorrow. I have some painting to do, and I suppose this at least means I've nothing to procrastinate with (the hockey semi-final looks like another exhibition yawn). I suspect I'll still be checking in every half-hour or so though, to see how far it's progressed Not meaning to whine, just trying to be constructive, really looking forward to flying this. Congrats on the release! Cheers, Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacedivision Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Just a heads up to everyone using "getright" I decided to see if it would help my download at all, so seeing as I was only 100mb in, I canceled and restarted the downloading in IE using getright. Getright download - stuttering between 0 and 30kps. ...Gave up on getright in less than a minute Chrome native download - Now sitting at 235kps. Maybe this is not the same for everyone but it seems to me that getright is a major bottleneck for the download. I'll stick with the browser alone.

Rainey Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have been happily downloading through Getright between 100kb/s and 130kb/s which is pretty much my full 1.5mb connection maxed out. So far no issues. Aside from the link on the FSS store being saturated by the demand I think the delivery of the product is impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabears1020 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 A little tip for anyone with firefox who is downloading much slower than their connection is capable of: I was stuck around 100-200 kb/s for a while, but after pausing and unpausing my download a few times, I managed to get back to a respectable 1.5 Mb/s. I think it just kind of randomly decides a download server for you, and some are better than others, or perhaps the bandwith allocation is different. All I know is that restarting my download a few different times via the pause method on firefox seemed to change my download speed, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
