Download Speed during Installation
hjmx:
is very very slow (25 KB/s).
Why is it necessary to download couatl.exe and others again and again, cannot the installer check if the recent file versions are already installed?
Thx,
Harry

I'm getting 10KB/s download.
7+ minutes to install the addon manager.

Ya I posted the same observations in the KMEM topic. I was trying to diagnose another recent issue, it seems others are having, where Couatl keeps crashing and reinstalling just the addon manager takes longer (~20mins for 16MB) to download than it does to install the Windows OS!!
The question is why does it have to re-download every file anytime you run any of the installers? Are there not any smarts to the script like most other applications where it can just check and compare versions and/or dates and update only if necessary?
The amount of frustration dealing with this every time begs the question "Is it really worth the high price we pay for it!?"
This has been by far the worst experience dealing with any addon scenery or aircraft for that matter. You would think a complex aircraft install like PMDG would be a lot more involved installation process than a static piece of scenery. Not even close in this case.
Sorry for the rant but I've wasted so much time trying to rebuild my FS PC and dealing with this product when I could be just flying.

I'm having the same issue. Even tried shutting down my firewall. I tried updating it in the sim and half way during the install, after waiting 15 minutes, I got an error message saying "some file for FSX couldn't be update, try again later". Funny thing is I'm running P3D. I finally got it to complete outside the sim without any message. I haven't seen any response from anyone regarding a fix either

Same here.
It is really frustrating... Installing some scenery and takes more than 10min just for downloading :(
