So I'm not sure why, but from the Galaxy client, I seem to be getting extremely slow download speed, only about half a mb, normally I get substantially faster download speeds, any one have an idea as to why this would be happening?

Usually that's a sign that GoG Galaxy can't see past your firewall. Without knowing what OS and firewall you;re running, it's hard to point you in the right direction.

If checking that doesn't help, you can review previous threads on the topic for other solutions:

Please do that and let us know what you've tried and how things went.

Hope this helps

I've been noticing that as well. When I download a game from my library it will start off really low, like 1.2 MB/sec or something like that. Usually though it will start speeding up into the 6-7 MB/sec range.

If the download speed remains low for me it's because others in the house are using the Internet at the same time.

I don't care if she is looking at porn. Problem is she won't share!

Download the files from the site, the client has major speed issues for downloading. I gave up on galaxy a year ago due to taking 4 hours to download a game that takes 30 minutes from the site.

Dang, well thanks for the responses, far as I can tell it's not being blocked, but I'll check again, might have to just go through the website again then.
