Slow Downloads

[Ragebased]

So first off, yes I'm well aware my internet speed is slow and is well below what I'm capped at as a Supporter, but I'm going to follow the list from here given to me by SirSalami over discord https://help.nexusmods.com/article/92-im-having-download-issues-what-can-i-do

At the time of posting this I was getting through NMM (0.65.2) 150-180/KBps download speed, a few days ago when I first had the slow download issue it was worse, about 20/KBps. When I went to http://speedtest.nexus-cdn.com/ I was getting about 50/KBps. After spending close to an hour of sifting through the forums and discord discussions all I found was a lot of posts of other people having similar issues and no responses giving any kind of solution. I've never had this problem before and have been using Nexus Mods since Jan of 2017 (I was very late for the Skyrim and Fallout party)

What results do you get when you ping files.nexus-cdn.com?

What URL are you downloading from?

Well it wasn't just one specific download, it was happening with anything I tried to download from Nexus. I only made the post because it happened more than once and trying to download a 3gb mod at 25/KBps is... well agony really.

I hope that was what you were looking for, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by URL.
