Dan-Toon-Army Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I hate to put a downer on everyone's joyful forum, but ive been downloading from Steam since 11 this morning , and im still only at 27%? Im downloading at about 20kB/s , while see the majority of steam users saying they have about 800kB/s. Could someone please tell me if im missing something obvious , or anyway to speed this up? Any help would be amazingly appreciated , as this is my third attempt at downloading now and my frustration is through the roof! Thankyou! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazaveli Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Go to File > Settings > Downloads and make sure your Download region is set to United Kingdom. I downloaded mine at 300kb/s last night, but I normally get 650kb/s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWaRFeGa Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think it's just the way it is really. I downloaded it at midnight last night on my home computer - took 90 minutes. Downloaded it today at work - took 20 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazaveli Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Keep in mind a lot of people would of been downloading it (currently 25,000 people play FM09 on Steam on a daily basis) so a good proportion of them would have been downloading. Also peak times etc can affect the speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rronqe Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Try changing the download server to another region, sometimes it works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Toon-Army Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I did think that was a possibility Mazaveli , but then i got rif of that from my mind because surely yesterday was the peakest of times and people were having much greater download times than me! And how do i change the download server to another region rronqe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
