kevinnivek1: I was downloading the Witcher 2, the top speed was 5mb/s and sometimes 2mb/s?, on steam I usually download at 12mb/s.
Does this happens in every game?
I want to support GOG but those download times hold me back...
Are you downloading with Galaxy, or a web browser? If with Galaxy, are you talking about installing (+downloading) a game with it, or downloading the backup installers?
If you are using a browser for downloads:
- What happens if you download several files at the same time? Is their combined speed still restricted to 5MB/s, or 5MB/s per file, meaning that if you download two or three files at the same time, the combined transfer speed might go up to e.g. 10-15MB/s?
- If you answered yes to the earlier question, have you tried some third-party downloader manager for your browser (Down-it-All or what they are called)? I think they are supposed to start several download threads at the same time, so they might maximize your download speeds too.
Sorry I can't test this for you because my internet connection is restricted normally to something like 1.2MB/s (10 Mbit/s), ie. much slower than what you have.
