I have been Steam user for over 5 years and most of the time download speed is between 1MB/s to 1.4MB/s ...on rare occasion it drops to 500KB/s. With GOG downloads I get max 1.2MB/s but mostly around 300KB/s to 600KB/s and as low as 50KB/s...Considering how many people use Steam, 10-12 Million every day, GOG has no excuse to keep them so low!
I live in Australia and have Cable internet!
So, why is this so?
I am no big fan of Steam (as I keep criticising them on their own forum) but I get better service there than here at GOG! If GOG wants people to keep buying their games, the service has to improve. Whatever is causing the bottleneck at their servers, should be fixed for the sake of matching the download service that Steam offers. I have around 150 games at GOG and 600 at Steam so I am telling this from personal experience.
