Turns out that using a VPN helps with the download speed on my end?

Well, there isn't much to say about it. Maybe for those who are running into issues with their download speed as I was could also try turning on their VPN to test things out.

Ironically enough it is written on here: I'm having download issues. What can I do? - Nexus Mods Site Help to turn off your VPN if you are currently using one AND having speed issues.

 

here's a little bit of info about me.

• COUNTRY: Australia
• ISP : TPG

Turn your VPN on, it might help.

Hi there,

 

If the VPN offers better routing than your ISP then you will get better speeds. There seems to be a lot of bad routing between Australia and the rest of the world.

 

Edit: Update

 

Based on other similar reports there seems to be a problem with the connection between our USA servers and the Australian userbase. We have reported this to our CDN providers to see if there's anything they can do about it it.

 

In the meantime you may want to see if using a VPN increases your download speeds.
