Totally agree.. I just purchased SD3 and I’m trying to download the libraries and it’s crawling. It’s obvious they are throttling at 4.9MBs/sec, and my 40GB download says 2+ hours. I’m on a 2Gb internet connection, and it’s blazing fast everywhere else. One would think that after 80 customers complaining about the same problem, they would fix it… “sigh”

 

 

Okay, 2 or so hours later… I finally got tired of waiting and tried to figure out wth?!? It had slowed down to 2.2MB/s, so I paused the download (which I had already done numerous times) and went into the Network app under settings on the Mac and highlighted my wifi connection and then clicked the advanced button on the bottom right. I clicked on the Proxies tab and unchecked the “Use Passive FTP (PASV)” box. I also checked “Automatically Discovery Proxy” (even though i’m not behind one), then clicked OK and Apply. When I went back and restarted the download, it was getting 70+ MB’s/s.

I do realize neither of those settings should have anything to do with the download, but it sure worked for me. I hope this helps someone else, and sorry I bad mouthed you earlier ToonTrack!
