It seems that you're using an outdated browser. Some things may not work as they should (or don't work at all).
We suggest you upgrade newer and better browser like: Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera

For some reason I can't download anything right now due to ridiculously slow down speeds. My connection can download at about 45-50mb/s and I can barely reach 1mb/s on GOG servers. Is this normal? Is everyone getting affected?

I would usualy get 24mb per second but now i only get 3 mb per second which rarely reaches 4. Guess gog still hasn't fully fixed their servers when they had problems recently

Are you using a web browser or Galaxy for the downloads?

Getting mere 1 MBytes/s is not normal. Many have reported of speed issues at least with web browser downloads, but not all are affected (e.g. me). Seems to be a regional thing mostly.

If you have the issue with web browser downloads, as a workaround you might want to try downloading with Galaxy instead, even if you merely download offline installers. In Galaxy you find the offline installers under "Extras".

When I tried it yesterday, with a web browser I got a download speed of 24 MBytes/s which is quite ok... but with Galaxy (downloading offline installers) I got a whopping 70 MBytes/s, ie. almost three times faster than with a web browser.
