Pinto Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Purchased Cityscape Sydney this morning, with another product. Download speed is extremely slow, as low as 3.56kb/s! My internet connection capable of up to 50 Mb/s, tests at various times showed download speeds in the 40+ Mb/s range. No trouble running other apps , YouTube etc. in parallel. Have paused, then resumed a few times, even restarted pc on a couple of occasions. Down load started 10:34am 22 Dec local time, 11.34pm 21 Dec UTC. After 9.5 hours, plenty of 'connection interruptions' and 64% downloaded, (6.37 / 7.6 GB), there must be a problem with Orbx servers. Any suggestions or help?

John Dow Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Possibly a problem with Orbx servers, yes, but in almost every case of slow downloads to date it has been demonstrated that the problem lies with the pathway from the servers to your internet connection, whether it's your ISP, a mid point server, a slow satellite... it's extremely difficult to know. Often if there are corrupt files cached in servers along the line, it can cause problems. I have had success in restarting Orbx Central, and with resetting my modem, other times nothing works and I have to wait until miraculously it all runs smoothly again. I just ran a download test on the Sydney Cityscape file and I'm getting 5.5MB/sec, close to the limit for my 50Mb/s connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinto Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Thanks John. I turned off the pc, went to bed and restarted the pc again next day. Download finished with speeds in the 3-4MB/s range. All good, scenery is quite spectacular and accurate. Cheers Pinto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
