Super Slow Downloads In Vortex

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.

Free Members who use Ad Blockers are limited to 1/mpbs

 

Free users that don't use ad blockers are limited to 2/mbps

 

That's SPEED, not the amount of MEGABYTES you're allowed to download

Yeah I know that's the speed and not a data limit, but how does the Vortex program know when someone is using an Adblock?

 

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.

The site knows if you're using an adblock, doesn't matter whether you use vortex, because Vortex logs into your account anyway.

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?

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.
