capella6707 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I have a 2 Mb up/25 Mb down ADSL connection and I have a tool in my taskbar that shows real time up/download speeds. I noticed that when downloading a mod from Nexus via Vortex that my upload speed is much higher than my connection is capable of. I'm currently downloading a large mod (Legacy of the Dragonborn, 1.7Gb) and my speed monitoring tool is showing 21 - 30 Mb up speed. This only happens when downloading a mod with Vortex. When downloading a large file in any other program I might see the up speed read a few Mb momentarily, but for the most part it stays at 0. Would anyone have an explanation/idea as to why I'm showing high upload speeds when downloading files only with Vortex? Just had a thought while downloading more mods: my download location is set to a network folder, so I'm guessing there's a possibility that the upload and download speeds that my monitor is showing are that of my internal network.

mcdeviant Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I would guess this is the tool detecting what your plan allows. If you're running on a dial up connection, you won't get those speeds, but Vortex is saying they aren't the bottleneck. I'm probably wrong, flame away.
