Fellow GOGgers, we seek your aid! In order to improve downloads as much as possible, we would like you to participate in a little test. Don't worry, it won't take too much of your time and you can get free stuff in the process. :)
Here's the deal. Before you start downloading, please check your connection's speed. Ideally, you should use a service like Speedtest. We will also need to know where you live (the country will be enough - the state could be useful as well if you're from the US of A), but that's an easy one, right?
Now try downloading the files from the links below, one at a time. Keep downloading until your download speed stabilizes (usually no more than a minute) and write down the result. Rinse and repeat for each link:
LINK 1,
LINK 2,
LINK 3,
LINK 4.
Afterwards please share the results, along with your connection speed and location, in a reply to this thread. Please refrain from chatter and comments, unless you experienced problems with any of the links or the download speed wasn't consistent. In case of inconsistent download speeds, please give us a rough average, rather than "from-to" brackets.
To sweeten the deal, we've got promo codes for one free game waiting for 10 lucky participants (one code each). :)
Just so we're all on the same page, the reply should look like the example below.
Connection speed: 13.5 Mbps
Location: Poland
LINK 1: 950 kB/s
LINK 2: 850 kB/s (inconsistent)
LINK 3: 870 kB/s
LINK 4: N/A (couldn't start download)
