Mopar63 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I am doing a clean setup on a PC and wanted to do a really clean Skyrim so am downloading the mods as I go. I was going pretty slow with some of the downloads and decided to pay for a month of the premium and get a speed boost, except, well I didn't. Oh I am showing more threads to the file but the time for the download is the same as when I was not on premium. Is there a setting I needed to change for using the "faster" servers?

Thandal Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 None of the servers are "faster". It's just that the "Premium-only" servers usually have less traffic. You can optionally set NMM to use only the Premium servers if you like, but depending on the time of day/day of week and your specific geographic location, that might not make any difference. In most cases, selecting the closest servers results in better speeds. And remember, you "paid" a voluntary contribution to support the Nexus as a free service. In return, you received some perks, (like access to the premium-only servers and uncapped downloading speed if the cap made a difference for you.) But becoming a Premium member does not guarantee any particular level of service at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi Mopar, Have you tried changing your download location in NMM? Try out all of them and see which one gives you the best speeds, then stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
