What do you people expect? its 230 GIGABYTES!
With respect, what has the size of the download got to do with its speed? Why is it unreasonable to expect a down load speed greater than my current speed of 37.9kBps just because the size of the current package is 52.3GB? I take your point in that a total 230GB download will take longer than a 23GB download (this is somewhat self-evident!), but the actual point of my initial post and most of the others was the incredibly slow speed of the download, irrespective of size. Speeds under 100 kBps for five days continuously, given the speeds of modern internet connections, are ludicrously slow and insufficient. I have downloaded multi-gigabyte programs from other vendors in the past, and the download speeds were in the MBps range, not down to single figure kBPS. The current SD part 3 download (52.3GB) has been running now for three days, and is still showing around 121 hours download time remaining. This is unacceptable.
1.5Mbps – you’re lucky! Have been trying to download Superior Drummer 3 files for four days now, and BEST speed I’ve had is around 700Kbps. Currently have around 27Kbps, with speed tests showing a general connection speed from my ISP of 44Mbps! FFS, Toontrack – please fix this! I know Australia is a long way away, but this continued ludicrous slow speed is crazy. And be fore you ask, I have tried stopping the download, closing Product Manager, restarting the download, and it is no better (and sometimes worse!).
