Hi,

At around 8:30-45 AM CDT (Renderosity's server time), download speeds were awful. I was trying to download Battle Art R5 for M4/ H4/Elite/Marv and the speed was topping out at about 50 kilobytes/ps and I'm on a broadband connection that's around 50 megabytes down. So either Renderosity is having some sort of issue or throttling customers' downloads speeds or something. I've done a couple of speed tests and it doesn't seem like it's from my end.  I downloaded something from elsewhere and didn't have any issues.  So your gurus might want to take a look. 

Hi tiggersprings,

I'm no resident site expert, but the problem may be in some intermediate node on the path from the server to your connection. I'm halfway around the world and am having a 2 Mbit connection. Tried dl-ing one of Flink's grass products - the speed is 200KBps+ (which is more than fair accounting for the network protocol overheads - compared to the max of 256KBps which I should get). Also, the download link utlimately resolves to Amazon storage https://....amazonaws.com/products/...) - so either Amazon is doing some funky load balancing or there is something else causing the throttling (one of the nodes upstream is swamped, denial of service attacks, ...) ! By the time I typed this, my 20 MB download has finished.

Probably. I'm finished downloading my items from the Father's Day sale, so I won't know how things are going until I buy something again.  :)

Hmmm, this could make for an interestng strategy - limit download speeds to make customers buy more to verify the speeds ;-)

Hi,

Please let me know if you continue to have any issues with this.

 

Thank you,
