Very slow mod download speed , would a premium membership give faster downloads ?

adamski47 · March 24, 2015

Hello everyone

I am currently building a modded skyrim and downloading tons of mods but ever since the Nexus changed its server i've been getting horrible download speeds , i have already used the speed troubleshooter to help diagnose and posted to the forum page and i know it takes time to solve issues like this ; I've been getting very slow speeds ranging from 80 to 10KB/sec even during the late night , would a premium membership , with the "uncapped" speed help on this or it would be just the same ? I Really feel like helping this site with a premium account for me and a friend which also download lots of things from here but i'm skeptical if it will yeld faster downloads at all. The Average mod file size from the things im downloading (Mainly Retex or Hair and armor packs) is over 100MB and with these slow speeds its taking forever to acquire all the mods i want.

Just for the record , i'm using an optic fiber 20/10MB connection , located in São Paulo/Brazil , during speedtests i usually get the speed that was sold to me.

HeyYou · March 25, 2015

I get speeds over 100kb/s, even without a premium membership. (which I can tolerate....) There is something else going on there with your download speeds..... Wonder if someone between you, and here, is throttling downloads.... (doesn't really make sense... but, there ya go.) Don't have a bandwidth cap on your service do you?

adamski47 · March 25, 2015

No Bandwith cap at all , throttled connection is definitely possible but the Nexus sites are the only place i have slow speeds , generaly ISPs throttle popular sites like facebook or youtube , i will look further into this possibility.

Try doing a tracert, and see where all you are bouncing around to, and what response times look like.

@adamski47: See this topic: Nexus Download Diagnoser Speed Test Reports.

Follow the instructions found there. :thumbsup:

This is what it gave me , left it running for around 8 minutes , tracerouting through CMD gave me alot of gibberish information

I do believe you're supposed to post those results in the thread Thandal linked.

adamski47 · March 25, 2015

Well this is the topic im looking for a clarification and i've already posted this report some months ago in that same thread

Dark0ne · March 25, 2015

Your speed in that speed test report looks more than respectable considering you're in Brazil and our servers are mostly in the USA and Europe.

adamski47 · March 25, 2015

Whoa , Dark0ne himself here ? im a real fan of yours dude !

But yeah , the speeds at the test are correct however when trying to download real mods i get less than 50KB/Sec , i will keep trying to download and stop bothering you guys , patience is a virtue as they say...

Very slow mod download speed , would a premium membership give faster downloads ?
