[HeyYou]

As a "Member", I believe you are capped 1mbs. (at least, that used to be the case, supporters got 2mb.) And that is TOTAL bandwidth available, not on a per-mod basis. If you download one at a time, what kind of speed do you get?

[dtb25175]

As a "Member", I believe you are capped 1mbs.

 

 

Says right there on the page when I download, also in the original post.

 

Also, I've never downloaded more than a single file at a time, and usually the files are small so they literally download instantly. But this one mod for CP2077 that was ~400 mb just capped at 200 kb/s, even when I stopped the download and tried to restart it multiple times. The download images posted in the original post show the same file at different download stages, all showing roughly 200 kb/s, to show that it wasn't a single dip in the speed but a constant cap.

 

I've modded Skyrim to death with 350+ mods all downloaded from the nexus and never came across this problem previously.

Regarding download caps, read this: https://help.nexusmods.com/article/96-download-speed-caps-adblockers-and-different-types-of-membership

Just to be clear, the cap is 2MB/s - you are not being capped at 200KB/s, it just seems that that is the speed you are getting with your connection. You said you get this speed even when downloading one file at a time (asking because your first screenshot shows 3 parallel downloads)?

 

In any event, it may be down to how your ISP is routing your traffic i.e. something outside of our control, unfortunately. Does this issue persist during all times of the day?

Please read my posts, I already stated in the second post:

 

"The download images posted in the original post show the same file at different download stages, all showing roughly 200 kb/s, to show that it wasn't a single dip in the speed but a constant cap."

 

Those are 3 different images, and you can also see it's the exact same file name. I didn't spend the day downloading files just to troubleshoot a problem from a site that I don't work for, that's not my job.

 

As for the link regarding download speeds, I don't have adblocker, so my speed should be 2mb/s as per your own words on the download page.

 

 

Just in case it wasn't still clear, I WAS DOWNLOADING A SINGLE FILE.

 

EDIT: Decided to download the file again since there was an update,

 

 

I guess it fixed itself.

Seems like it was a temporary problem. Possibly at your ISPs end.
