And if you choose to only use 1 thread in your NMM preferences for your downloads it's very slow from the start?

[Wandik]

yes; it starts at 1-3 kb/s and the speed does not rise... at least not until my patience goes wild

[Dark0ne]

And this happens on every single server you try to download from? Even if you pick a server location that's on the other side of the world from you?

[Wandik]

yes, it did happen like that 11 hours ago... now, it acts very different - for starters, it finally happens to download from Amsterdam, NL (or it goes through different premium servers to check which one is available, it is the first time i see NMM to act like that), download goes faster, but especialy for that NL server, it stops at 2/3 of progress with error: unable to finish the download. i can resume the file, which finishes the download correctly. when i switch back to default server location, it goes through various "server busy or unavailable, retrying" messages while trying different servers, just now i ended up at Salt Lake 4 server with 1kb/s speed...

 

EDIT: seems my premium membership ended just in the time i was off, i renewed it and i am back at Kent, UK server, and so far it seems i can finish all downloads i started... but obviously, this was not the issue as my membership was still valid at the time OP was posted.

So, at the moment, it seems to be working if not well, then at least better than it did before? Perhaps the fix might have been as simple as logging out of NMM and logging back in again; did you try that?

 

Please update me if things get bad again.

[Wandik]

yes, at the end it seems things go well again thanks for your time, it is nice to see some feedback here, to the contrary to usuall support stuff "do not read your posts" or "solve it yourself" behavior kudos

Kent Server is the slowest of the bunch in my experience so far and for some reason its the one i usaly get directed to when i download through NMm, take that back everytime through NMM i get Kent server. So i have to stop and go manual download once i do this in general i get faster times not allways but usaly.

Have you changed your download location preferences in NMM?

I'm afraid this is still happening.

 

Again, only on the premium servers.  No matter which of them I choose I'm told "2 hours" or so for downloading and it just crawls.  If I choose any of the non-premium servers it downloads in minutes.

 

I doubt it makes any difference but the only files I've been downloading lately have been for Mount & Blade: Warband.

 

Cheers.

Things seem a tad better now on the premium links but they are still not as fast as the non-premium.

 

My latest M&B download was an estimated 8 minutes on premium, 2 minutes on regular.

 

Cheers.
