Server issues ?
« on: May 06, 2021, 02:47:09 pm »
Hello !

Just wondering are there current Server issues on your end ?

I'm trying to install GSX, but the download rate I get is around 50kb/s. It starts at 2MB/s, but then very quickly goes down to 50kb/s. Using that, I can rougly estimate 8-10 hours for the download.

I'm at a 100MBit/s connection, other Downloads e.g. at simmarket are running very fast. So I assume the problem is not on my end.

Mike

They use Cloudflare, which uses whichever server is closest to you. If you have a VPN, you can try to set it for another country and see if it works better that way.

Thanks Kevin, but no, I don't have VPN  :(

Currently no chance to get that downloaded.

You can try any of the free VPN available ( most of them come with a Trial version ), so you would KNOW if the problem it's at your end or not. SOME ISP have issues with Cloudflare. Some ISP take longer to update their DNS too so, you might try changing the DNS to use either Google ( 8.8.8.8 ) or Cloudflare ( 1.1.1.1 )
