So does anyone have problem with downloading games from GoG using Galaxy?
It's really bad, ranging from 0.7MB/s to 3MB/s while I have a connection of 60 Mbps.

Look at what you copied and pasted.

3MB/sec

60 Mbps

Note the different B's in there?

Usually 8-10 little b's or Bits equate to 1 big B or Byte.

You're looking at two different rates of speed. And they're in the ballpark of each other.

Anyway slow speeds are usually a sign that whatever program you;re using, in this case Galaxy, can;t get past your firewall. Depending on what OS and firewall you;re using, the instructions on how to fix that depends but it should be a simple matter of going into your firewall and telling it to allow it past.

edit: If you skim the forums or use thew search function, you should see other topics on this, some of them within the last few days.

60Mb / 8 is 7.5MB

3MB/s is less than half his max speed.

Its obvious there is an issue with Galaxy for some users, we're getting too many new users having this problem.

People need to stop assuming the user is at fault and help diagnose.

What Os are you using, what's your network set up?

Thanks, I was just about to write that as well regarding the speed.
Anyway I'm using Windows 10, using lan network, directly connect to my router with lan cable.
This is the first time I'm having slow download speed on gog, since I downloaded like 5 games before.
Also posting stuff on forums takes for ages, so I would asume the problems are somehow connected.
To me this would imply that there is a bad "connection" for packages between my router and GoG's server which is causing this issues, but I could be wrong it has been ages since I learned about networking on university.

Unfortunately I'm of to bed. I'll give it some thought in the morning.

No worries m8. My friends are actually having the same issue as I, so it must be on GoG's end or our ISP.

That's because you don't divided it by 8, you divide it by 9. There's a control bit between each byte when you're downloading. In some cases there's up to 3 control bits.

That's also why I said ballpark.

From the poster's post and his or her confusion, I was trying to keep it simple.

Speeds may also be because of it being the first day of the sale.

Bits or Bytes per seconds should be the raw data, that includes any packet error correction. Physical layer error correction should not be counted in the raw speed. Mind you its, Its been a few decades since I did network layers and topology.

Late comment but "Trying to keep it simple" does not include factoring in additions to a conversion that aren't needed and aren't done. If you're trying to keep it simple, stick with 8 bits to a byte. That's as simple as you can get. No matter what you're doing, the download speed is halved or worse, which is not good.

Unreal.

Hey everyone. My download speed is also slow. For example, when i'm downloading game from Steam the download speed is 12 mb/s and it doesn't drop bellow that. But on GOG, when i'm downloading a game it drops from 12 mb/s to 3-4 mb/s. Why is that happening. I've checked my internet settings, router and everything and i have this problem only on GOG.

Same problem here. GOG used to be fast, but lately it's sooo slooow to download games. I don't use GOG Galaxy, just the classic offline installers. When I start a download, they usually start fast but then the download speeds drop real bad, usually around 100-200 KB/s, 400 KB/s if I'm lucky, but never more than that. I have to keep the computer on downloading all night to not lose all the completed progress. And this only happens here, on GOG.

Right now, I'm trying to complete the archives for Dragon's Dogma. I'm on it since early yesterday... :(

Go into Settings > GOG.COM GAMES > Installing, updating > Bandwidth > Don't limit bandwidth

Yeah this is an issue - mine is "dont limit" by default, my firewall is bulldog and allowing everything GOG through fine, my Download speed is 100MB (usually around the 80 mark though) and im still capping at 4MB download on GOG. Rather frustrating, if as I believe I saw above it could be related to a heavy usage on where the download server that its being throttled at source (either because the game in question went on sale or whatever so more people downloading it suddenly) then that's GOG to fix.

Considering this issue appears to have been going on since before 2013 though (based on other posts in forums back then).... can't seeing it getting fixed anytime soon :(

Which protocol are you talking about?

EDIT: nevermind, yet another necro I didn't notice.
