David Rogers Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Firstly, I tried to find a forum section dedicated to Orbx Central, but it was read only. Orbx Central was for years my preferred retailer. However, about 4 months ago I started getting ridiculously slow download speeds and thus haven't used it since then. Today, I thought I'd give it another try and purchased the Boris Audio Works C172 sound set. It is 20Mb in size. Let me say that immediately before purchase this, I have just downloaded the latest MSFS update, which downloaded at an average speed of 170Mbps. I have a very high speed broadband and connection, here in the UK. I purchased the C172 sound set at 20Mb and the highest speed I had from Orbx Central was 30 kbps ...... kilobytes! The problem is 100% not at my end. I have looked at the downloader options in Orbx Central. All seems to be set up logically, there was nothing I could find that would lead to these speeds that are many hundred times slower than I get from any other download source (inc. MSFS, Just Flight, Simmarket, etc, etc). What on Earth could be causing this? As it is, for a 20Mb product to take around 15 minutes to download, I would not dare download anything larger. I have been purchasing from Orbx since 2008. I want to buy products from you but cannot with these insanely slow speeds. Can you offer any help?

Matt Cymbalak Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Hi David, I've posted an update (no answers yet) here Would appreciate if you can reply in that thread (so it's all in one spot) with any info about whether the slow downloads still persist or has it improved since? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
