Kirbodin Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Everytime I try to download a large file from Nexus, it times out. I first noticed it with large mods for Stardew, but I tried to download Vortex to see if that helped and I can't download that either. The smaller mod files download easily. Same issue with firefox and edge browsers. Edited July 31, 2023 by Kirbodin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I've moved your thread to a more appropriate forum. Please see the pinned post regarding tests we need you to do in order to report download problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbodin Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 After some testing, it seems to be my home internet in some capacity. I tried on multiple devices and had the same problem, but when I switched my phone to 5g internet the download went fine. I tried resetting my router and that did not work, and I am not sure what else to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbodin Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 And now with a VPN it downloads nicely. I don't know what my ISP is up to, but I have fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexArdvark Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 A VPN fixing the problem sounds interesting but I sort of raise my eyebrows. Adding a VPN basically reroutes your flow through another IP showing you to be where you’re really not at. It’s a security thing. Therefore perhaps your security software may have been a contributor all along by looking for you to turn on your VPN?? I found that an internet provider does have the capability of tuning your modem remotely. I had this done recently and improved my bandwidth considerably. I was running through an VPN all along. If the IP couldn’t help, after tuning, I was off to another IP. Also, If 5G performed better than your internet provider and you’ve contracted for a rate you’re not getting I’d be on their support real quick. Have you tried testing your internet speed w/5G, w/VPN, wo/VPN etc just to have a baseline for discussion with your provider? Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
