Abraxas000 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can confirm the sluggishness on skyrim.nexusmods.com, both from my work connection (which routes to the internet through our WAN to an ISP about a thousand miles north), and from home (which is a 50down/5up non-shared connection that doesn't have problems with other sites).

Hickory Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I confirm everybody else's findings: the Nexus (overall) is a *real* chore to use, both forums and mod sites, and has been for some time. I find myself staying away far more than I would like to. I have no trouble with other sites, apart from those that have always been slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 SQL errors are popping up quite a bit. There are periods of quick responses, but the individual nexus sites in particular (not necessarily the forums) are quite slow for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuraknight13 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yep, slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaglavak Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yes, its very slow for me as well. Just came back to Skyrim after a long break, downloading all new fresh mod and its a pita to get the pages loading. I'm on a 100 Mbit pipe and have no trouble at all with other sites.

Neogrin Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I have been using the site the last few nights from around midnight to 5-6am (Pacific Time) and I have noticed that the site starts to get slow around 4am which would be 7am on the East Coast. (wake up time for allot of people). I have also used the site randomly during daylight hours and have found it pretty hit or miss on if a Mod Page would actually load or not. Not sure if this helps, but I have found that when a page doesn't load, it seems to hang when trying to get a responce from http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/or something to that effect...I am sure that "static" was in the url The only time of day I have found that the site is guaranteed to be usable, is after 6-7pm to around 4am (PDT).

Fargol Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I just upgraded to Premium, and the downloads are as slow as before! At least I only got the 3-month deal, but so far not happy. btw, I have FIOS so it ain't at my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Here's the blurb I give to Premium Members looking for help with their download speeds: Hi there, Your download speed can be affected by a number of issues, including your distance from the servers, your ISP's particular connection to the file servers and many local variables. As a Premium Member several new options are opened up to you both within NMM and when manually downloading outside of NMM:Your download speed cap of 1024kb/sec is removed allowing you, if possible, to download fasterYou can now download using multiple "threads". In NMM this setting can be found under Settings -> Download Options. Threads are basically multiple connections to the server from the same file. Say, for example, your maximum connection download speed is 4MB/sec but you can only download files from our servers at 1MB/sec. With downloading threading using 4 threads you'll download a file at 4x1MB/sec, or 4MB/sec. Handy! This also works if you're using a download manager like DownThemAll!You can now download from Premium-only servers. There is an additional option in NMM under Settings -> Download Options to choose whether to only use Premium servers or all servers. A special note here; Premium-only servers might NOT be the fastest servers for your connection. We offer Premium-only servers for those times (like Sundays) when the normal file servers might be really busy, and ergo, slower than normal. But it's very possible that a normal server is faster for you, so do some testing on your end and if the Premium-only servers are indeed slower just don't download from them.On-top of this ensure that you're downloading from locations near to you. Once again you can alter this setting in Settings -> Download Options. If the area closest to you isn't working for you, try another area. It's possible, through some magic of the internet, somewhere a bit further away might actually be faster for you.I hope this helps you and that you understand that Premium Membership doesn't just offer you the advantage of Premium-only download servers but actually a number of important bonus features over normal members. Thank you for your support. If you're not happy you can just ask for a refund. Last thing I want is people paying for something they're not happy with.
