Really slow download speeds on NMM

[ThePricklyCourier]

I'm getting a download speed of around 14 kb using the nexus mod manager, previously this has been as low as 512/1024 KB but recently it's severely low. Does anybody know why? Or if there is some remedy? Keep in mind I have fiber optic internet capable of 87 Megabits a second, so I know it's not my internet...

Its happening with me as well. Must be a site problem atm. Happening with manual DL as well.

This has been happening to me for a couple days now.. speed is generally at 5mbps so I should be at least close to the 1mbps cap, but I can't get above 14 or so kbps. Never had this problem with nexus before.

You need to report download problems in this thread rather than the game forums.

 

Saying "I have a fast internet connection" is simplistic and misleading. The internet is a series of connections ("legs") among various devices between your location and that of the destination, that changes from session to session. Anyone of these "legs" of the chain may suddenly encounter a problem, and each leg may be at a different speed of connection. The "internet" attempts to re-route slow connections, but various "Internet Service Provider" (ISP) carriers have agreements with other ISPs and "preferred routes" to reduce costs. As a result, any given ISP tends to re-use the same "legs" of the route. Re-routing may therefore take manual intervention. As you might imagine, they try to avoid this.

There is a network tool included in Windows called "tracert" (trace route) which will show you how long it takes for a packet of information to travel between each device along this route from your computer to the destination. There are also "online" web versions of this tool. Posting such a "tracert" result log is a major help to those trying to resolve such problems.
