MinimalRisk Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Currently downloading a 700Mb FO4 mod and it isn't even hitting 100Kb/s and this is NOT the first time. I've downloaded a number of 1+gig files at the same speed but then files that are less than 300Mb are downloading at my top speed which is 5-6Mb/s. Speedtest tells me I'm getting my full speed, even during this peak hour time in Australia but the time makes no difference anyway because it has happened at 2am as well. Is Nexus throttling large files, or what? I paid for premium membership to get downloads quicker but the way things are going I won't be renewing next month.

No, you really don't. The 700Mb file is still downloading but in the meantime I downloaded two more files from NexusMods: one is 103mb, the other is 234Mb, and they were both done in a matter of seconds. If there was an issue with anything at my end then those two files would also still be downloading. There is most definitely an issue at your end, and it involves files over a certain size.

MinimalRisk Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 And just for shits n giggles...The speed of the 700Mb download actually went up to around 600Kb/s while this one was downloading but then dropped back down to around 80Kb/s once it was finished. My connection is fine but yours is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If it's one specific file, I'd recommend starting the download from a different server (the choice is on the right side of the pop-up box when starting a download). I'm afraid I can't give you much advice without the test results though. Files over 500MB are served from a different server network than smaller ones, so doing the tests will show us the connection to all available servers.

PrettyCat Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Same issue, US East Coast, paid for premium, have a fiber connection getting over 1Gbps on fast.com, speedtest, etc., but can't get higher than 5Mbps here either via mod manager or via browser. That the default support response is apparently "follow this guide to doing our legwork for us, so we can either blame a third party and absolve ourselves, or shrug" is pretty goofy.
