Slow Download Speeds

[LordEtherus]

Hi. I'm having extreme slow downloading speeds recently. I have a 50 Mb/s download speed internet and it works fine for everything except for some files on Nexus Mods.

As far as I've noticed, small files (20 MB or less) are downloaded with my normal internet speed, however any file above that is being donwloaded at 20 kB/s.

From the trace route info I imagine I'm being redirected to Miami server which is very slow for me.

Also, file links starting with 'cf-files.nexusmods.com' are downloaded normally while files starting with 'supporter-files.nexus-cdn.com' are downloaded very slowly.

Country: Brazil

Internet Service Provider (ISP): Completa

Sorry to hear you're experiencing download issues. We provide servers across the globe in an effort to ensure a decent downloading experience regardless of location, but, unfortunately, there are many factors outside of our control, such as ISPs routing traffic through connections that aren't ideal when connecting to our servers. It's quite odd the two closest servers to you would be the worst ones but it suggests that your ISP might be routing your traffic through very busy connections.

I'm afraid the only solution I can offer is to try if using a VPN helps with the speeds.

I see. I had this same problem a few months ago and a VPN really helped, but I'm not using it anymore. Anyway, I'll keep trying.

Thanks for the help.
