Just subbed today, thinking with my new ISP (Firefly) and a Gigabyte speeds I should be getting my downloads in no time... But hey it's always other services fault, not yours right? Really tired from your download speeds. Even with a different ISP and a Gigabit fiber in comparison to the above old issue, your PREMIUM downloads are still as slow as they used to be, same issue as above, NOTHING has changed, while everything else is now flying, despite your claims that you're not throttling and that it's always someone else's fault. Why in the world do I continue to subscribe when I receive the same poor speeds as with free service? I really want a refund? I will never sub again...

Than How do you explain then that I can't get higher than 4MB/s speeds even if I connect through VPN? I mean look, Steam is just one silly example. I download things from many different places. I am not going to collect all the results of every location I download things from, but to give you a taste of speeds - I download 1+ Terabytes of data during a month from different sources in different ways, and no other place I download from, or stream in 4K from, have I noticed this kind of throttling that I have from nexus. Then I come to Nexus to download files, and I get poor 4MB/s. Another thing to consider, I already mentioned this, I can download MULTIPLE files from your network, MULTIPLE ok? at the same time, and they will all be throttled to 4MB/s speed. If my connection was in any way affected by the ISP, my speeds would all fluctuate and would be lower, as more files I download from you simultaneously. My ISP provides me with enough bandwidth to download as many files as I do, it's just all points to Nexus throttling. I understand that you may be trying to protect companies interests, but even your support site description says that you are throttling speeds - read below I highlighted it for you. Yet you keep saying that premium downloads are uncapped. So which is it? And why I, as a paying customer can't get better than 4MB/s speed? Do you have another tier, that provides higher speed than 4MB/s? Let me sub for it for a month. I don't care if I'll pay 2-3 times as much, what I care about, is as a paying customer to receive quality download speeds that my ISP can easily handle. Can you perhaps escalate my issue? Does Nexus have escalation process? I just want to get to the bottom of this and get this resolved. Why does Nexus Mods place a speed cap on downloads? The download speed cap on Nexus Mods ensures we can budget for and keep our substantial bandwidth bills within an acceptable price range and aren't shocked (or utterly destroyed!) by spiraling bandwidth costs. We use a global CDN to serve our files and our bandwidth is charged by the 95th percentile method. Essentially, that means we're charged based on the speeds we deliver, not the total amount of files that are downloaded. Thus, the faster users download from us, the more our bandwidth bills will cost. By limiting the speeds, we ensure that our expenses remain linked to the number of users who use our site and not the connection speeds of our user base. As a result, it's far easier to budget our bandwidth bills based on our active user base because more users typically means more ad revenue which means the increased bandwidth costs will be offset by the increased advertising income. If we didn't cap our downloads we could not budget in the same way.

Can I get some response? I did everything you asked with VPN testing and results are above. I tried speaking with cdn77.com support and they won't talk to me because I am not the admin on Nexus portal. Would you be so kind and contact them and schedule a real time session? I can initiate a real time download, so they can trace where the issue is. Looking forward for an answer. Thanks in advance.

Comcast's network engineer did a trace of my connection to the same as the one I provided above to your server and download location and found the following: FWIW, the Comcast routing / webspace looks fine. What I do see is a routing loop issue in the backbone / transit routing that is in the CDN provider's webspace beyond the Comcast webspace / routing. Perhaps you should contact the web host / provider (cdn77.com) concerning your issue. Please advise about the CDN transit routing loop issue.

Thanks for your answer. I tried ExpressVPN and results are below. My speeds didn't change much, except they got lower as further I went from US, which makes sense. So where is the throttling, on Nexus? How can this be resolved? All the below results for the same link through a web browser: https://premium-b.nexus-cdn.com/1704/20146/Skyrim%202018-20146-1-5-1579560286.7z?token=31be9D9Z9G9oSnaGNljFVg&expires=1624053189&user_id=55885927 VPN - USA Washington DC 2.9 MB/s - 20.5MB of 2.5GB, 14 mins left No VPN 3.3 MB/s - 26.7 MB of 2.5GB, 12 mins left VPN - Canada 504 KB/s - 6.6 MB of 2.5GB, 1 hour left VPN - UK – Docklands 555 KB/s - 11.7 MB of 2.5GB, 1 hour left VPN - Germany – Frankfurt 505 KB/s - 2.5 MB of 2.5GB, 1 hour left So looks like Nexus is throttling me after all. Would appreciate a speedy resolution to this. My best,

I have created a separate topic. thanks.

Can't seem to get past 4MB/s with MO2 on premium... I am on 300Mb/s cable, Steam goes 7+ times faster comparing to MO2 - 35MB/s and higher. I tried logging out of MO2, clearing cache, etc. It seems It's just Nexus? I'd love to have higher download speeds. If I get 2MB/s with free and only 4MB/s with premium, it doesn't really feel like premium... :sad:. The thing that points to throttling by Nexus, is that I can run multiple downloads in MO2 simultaneously, but neither of them will ever go over 3.6MB/s on average, maybe less, but never more. Each individual download session seems to be throttled by Nexus. Downloading manually from Nexus mods website, outside of MO2, produces the same low download speeds. And it seems as bigger the download, as slower the speed is initially allowed, it picks up bit by bit, but never goes past the 3.6MB/s on average. Even while no other downloads are running anywhere, Nexus will never give me more than 3MB/s - 4MB/s download speed. I tested that my cable has a lot more capacity, while running manual download from Nexus (no MO) at 3.6MB/s, I can start STEAM update and 4.6 GB will give me 30+ MB/s - not that I do it usually. I always run nexus downloads separate from anything else.

Just to add to the above, I tried using different location under Settings - Nexus, and 3.5MB/s - 4MB/s is the best that any location can give me, even Nexus own CDN only gives average ~3.6MB/s. Please advise, if you all are working on this, or if this is a MO2 issue.

Can't seem to get past 4MB/s with MO2 on premium... I am on 300Mb/s cable, Steam goes 7+ times faster comparing to MO2 - up to 35MB/s...

Try to disable FISS, I am having the same issue right now and it's working fine without FISS, that what crashes you most likely, but then again mods that rely on FISS won't work... so.

I understand that there are NIF files that contain meshes and texts. What is the mechanics behind the transition itself though? Say I am at the docks, talking to an NPC on a boat, I say ahoy, pay a fee, the NIF opens, and in the background the appropriate worldspace loads and I end up standing at the spawn COC point in that worldspace, is that a correct thinking? What I am trying to figure out, is how to go around the NIF screen. Instead of using a NIF I want to make this transition process between maps a bit less NIFy. What happens "under the hood", or what hands over the control from the point I click "lets Go" to a NIF file and then to a new worldspace I spawn at? Is it even possible to use anything but the NIF file for this kind of transition between maps? What I wanted to do, is instead of loading a NIF and looking at it for 5-10 seconds, I wanted to load a small area, say a ship on a water, where my character is standing on a ship, looking at some horizon, while the map where I am going to is still loading in the background. I am going over my head here, so wanted to ask if there is even a possibility of loading anything but NIF file, while transitioning from one map to another. Thanks in advance!
