The Download Speed Issue

Wow, seems like others have the same problem. I don’t...

Wow, seems like others have the same problem.

I don’t think it is the ISPs problem. The overall web speed seems to be normal, only the Toontrack download is slow. I also tried a VPN from several countries to see if it is related to the country, but it seems not. Other downloads also working at normal speed.

What happens for me: Once I click start, the initial download speed is very fast, as it should be, somewhere between 2, 3 up to 5 Mb/s here. But then after a few minutes (at best) it falls down to under 1 MB, and often to about 100 or even 10 kb/s.

Now I spend my weekend in front of the computer, starting the download time and again.

Will keep the archives after downloading for future installations. Does the download manager allow to install from files already installed on a hard disk? I don’t see an option for that, seems like you always have to download the files directy?

Operating system: Windows 10

This. @Toontrack… please read this.  I own more Superior Drummer / Easy Drummer content than I can count, and I have never had a positive experience in downloading / installing.  To the point that now, if an SDX peaks my interest, I first look at the download size, and usually pass just based on my expectation of how excruciatingly slow the download will be — seriously, I was getting faster downloads in the mid 90s.  Just Pathetic.

i don’t think Toontrack cares. Just bought 3 SDX bundle today and the speed hovers around 7mb. It’s atrocious and now I wish I hadn’t bought them at all. Definitely won’t make the mistake again.

That guys from Toontrack are trying to fool me, don’t they?

I’m reinstalling my complete studio. Have 236 GB to download and a download speed of 36 kB/s. You cannot image the wrath inside of me – having paid so much money and cannot get my product within this year!

Need 5 hours for an update of Superior Drummer 3 (500 MB), and that’s just the top of the iceberg. The libraries have 236 GB! Means an approximate download time to 98 days!

That’s it! I’m gonna grab some money, buy something else and Toontrack will never see me and my money again.
