Hi all,
is this just me or there are more people that get real low download speeds (~20KB/s)? I've tested with other sites and I get around 2MB/s. I use GOG.com Downloader.
Thanks for the answers in advance.

Hi :)
I've bought Fallout One Yesterday, and downloaded it without the Downloader trough the Browser. I had 600-700 Kilobytes per Second.

Malesu, thanks. I've checked direct download from site, but the speed is similar. Probably this is some server problem based on location.

I am also experiencing very slow download speeds (~20-50KB/s). Either in GOG.com Downloader or through browser. What helped a bit is use of FreeDownloadManager which created 10 connections and downloaded at about 150-300KB/s. On other sites (example Filehippo.com) I get full download speeds at around 900KB-1MB/s.
Is it polish users problem only?
I already raised support request, but no answer yet. Some time before it could be downloaded with almost maximum speed (at least before release of Outcast). It is difficult to download larger games for me now (Outcast around 12h through downloader...).
GOG.com help!!! :(

I think this happened before with a Polish user. Support should answer you any hour now.

I am not sure about it, because I am already waiting 2 days for any reply...

GOG always takes a minimum of 24-48 hours to respond to support requests, assuming they don't have a backlog of support tickets in front of yours.

Raku, it seems that the problem occurs only in afternoons/evenings (PL time). In the morning the day after I had used almost whole bandwidth during download (~2.5MB/s). This is clearly servers overload issue.
So, the "quick" workaround is to wake up early and download early ;)
