Re: Slow Download Speeds on EA app

Hey,

I tried updating BF2042 on Tuesday (~24h ago) and the 750mb update was crawling along at 4KB/s:

So, i paused the download, then restarted it, hoping it would fix it. Instead it reset the progress to 0% and the download rate didn't change.

I checked my connection and could download at full speed just fine from everywhere i tested. I closed the EAApp and reset my connection just in case.

Launched the App again and the speeds were still just as abysmal. So, I followed the "Get help" instruction (which just tells you to clear the cache really) and restarted the App. To my absolutely elated surprise, the game update was now 7.9gigabytes and the download rate was still terrible:

And was now sporadically being interrupted by this very descriptive error:

24h later, nothing has changed and the weird thing is that restarting the App results in strange reproducable behavior. It starts off at okay speeds and then pretty quickly diminishes down to 4-30kb/s:

I'd swap to another download server, but the technology isn't there yet in the EA App i guess to have that sort of advanced control.

Some googling only yielded a few people facing the same problem, but no solution for it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
