Anyone else getting these insanely low download speeds on GOG?

I checked Steam and got 10 Mbs.

I'm getting usual speeds. Two ideas come to mind - first, since there's a special sale, you might have been trying to download at a moment that servers were getting hammered. Second, what's your ISP?

I have Cox as an internet provider, but as I said before, other downloads are fine.

You said Steam downloads were fine; that's not the same thing. Cox has for years used aggressive traffic shaping, which is the sterile-sounding term for internet throttling. It's reasonable, since your country is listed as USA, to wonder if you could be getting throttled access. It is of course *more* likely that you were hitting GOG servers at high load, but especially lately it's always good to ask about ISPs.

It's back to normal. I guess it was a high volume of traffic, but of all the years I have used GOG, I never saw download speeds anywhere near that bad.

It's not that uncommon, especially during big sales and events like these.

200kbps? I wish.

In the U.P going that fast is considered witchcraft.

He(?) 's a witch! Burn her!

I've mentioned before that I run a webhosting company that caters to soccer moms and internet speeds are a common complaint.

Without seeing a tracert though, it hard to give any advice.

Having said that, there are quite a few choke points in the US. A couple of them are handoffs between companies where the company doesn't want to upgrade and/or the two companies are blaming each other for handoff's problems.

And anyone on the old Charter networks with their still broken proxies? Well we just send up a prayer for.

edit: Just for reference, do we know if and with whom GoG and Steam uses for CDN services? Or are they internal?

Have you checked your internet speed? If no then use NetSpot app
