Deeks Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) At 5 Gigs this should have been broken into smaller chunks with WinRAR and had a recovery record included or at least support resume. Hmmm 4 hours to go @ 346KB/s Edited January 30, 2015 by Deeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Guys take a deep breath, the servers are just getting hammered it has nothing to do with your browser or your anti virus, fix yourself a nice stiff drink, you'll have the game soon enough if not today then tomorrow. According to this, servers shouldn't be an issue, or at least that's how I interpreted it: http://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/help/article/127844 We cant even use download clients to save our place -- I'm on my 4th attempt to download after having it fail at well past the 30% mark every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Not yet, 20 minutes to go. Fingers crossed. I didn't realize everybody could download, I thought it was only people who have preordered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennay Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 there was like a small window for the pre order downloads then once they updated the main site it was open for everyone i kept hitting F5 waiting of my digital only copy lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebloggs Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Not yet, 20 minutes to go.

folkie Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 it's only going to get worse if they keep taking more orders and more people trying to download. i get 1/3 or so downloaded and poof it's gone. i didn't pre order or get out of school in the 8th grade for this, man! i'm going to watch time team reruns on you tube, much more entertaining than trying to download this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palladium Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Download speed is holding around 300kbs for me, not great but expected for a busy system. It's okay folks, we'll see it in good time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agusto Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I am downloading at 550 kb/s, ~3hrs left. Man, that is long. You guys who have slow download speeds, try a download manager. I am using Orbit and it is faster than regular Firefox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys who have slow download speeds, try a download manager. I am using Orbit and it is faster than regular Firefox. Battlefront says not to use downloaders, per their own support page -- that's what is so frustrating: http://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/help/article/127844 We do NOT recommend using Download Managers! Download managers are often not able to cope with the dynamic nature of the cloud network environment. Use a browser to download instead. We recommend using the following browsers: Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer on the PC, and Safari on the Mac. Edited January 31, 2015 by Capt.

Roter Stern Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Just checked in with the superiors about the slow speeds. Apparently the master download image (the file that you download) is still propagating around the cloud, so many of the download servers are not active yet. So speeds should get better through the day as more servers come online. Would it be possible to perhaps host the file as a torrent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agusto Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Oh, yeah. I just started the DL again, this time using regular firefox. dl speed is now 1,5 mb/s. Seems battlefront were right when they recommended not to use download managers. Sorry for telling you guys to use one above, i hope none of you started a download with a dl manager yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Sorry but does anyone else appreciate the humor of "give it to us now! give it to us now!" followed by "Oh damn this download speed sucks" Are we there yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraft Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Oh don't worry I'm not using one and the DL speed/stability still suck. Edited January 31, 2015 by Kraft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Mine died again, about 30% in again. This time it was in Chrome. I hate to be such a complainer, I would rather just be playing the actual game I bought right now, but is Battlefront reading their own support advice, and are they taking these complaints seriously at all? I'm disabling anti-virus with the hope that it helps, though it has never been an issue with any other download in recent history. Edited January 31, 2015 by Capt. Toleran 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 A torrent would definitely help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
