SwiftCookie Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Hey I'm new to the modding scene/Vortex and I was wondering are these sorts of download speeds normal for a free member? Not even hitting the 2MB limit. https://imgur.com/a/1SA2kIq Edited February 13, 2021 by SwiftCookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the downloads will go to about 30KB/s for a split second and then stall and then jump back to 30KB/s and then stall etc etc. Edited February 13, 2021 by SwiftCookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fluctuating from 30KB/s to 0KB/s to 30KB/s to 0KB/s to 30KB/s as a free member without an Adblocker is normal then? Shouldn't I be hitting 250KB/s?

Seletus Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Have you found a way to fix the issue? I have the exact same problem/slow download pattern. Edited February 15, 2021 by Seletus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joinEVEonline Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have Premium and find downloads fluctuate between 500KB/s and 0, very disappointing.I get better speeds downloading manually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Vortex doesn't limit download speeds in any way (unless you use the bandwidth limiter in settings->downloads).The server enforces the download speed limits free users, not Vortex.If your downloads are slower than 1MB/s (or 2MB/s if you don't adblock) then that's caused by the server or your network connection to the download server.
