Is anyone else seeing this?

Going through and updating my library now that the 'Blue Dot of Updating' has returned (with a few false positives), and today I've run across a couple of updates games where the offline OSX Installer files are downloading at dial-up modem speeds - ~35-50k/sec, while the Windows installers and Goodies are downloading at the same time at 15-20 MB/sec.

This only affects the OSX installers as best I can tell, and my local connection is fine - I've verified that I've got 350Mb+/sec to my ISP during the downloads in question.

Two games I gave up on downloading the OSX builds for being so slow are: Atom RPG and Semblance.

A couple others were much smaller and took the better part of an hour to download. I forgot which ones they were as I had a ~20 games updated.

I don't know if it is getting redirected to a different hosting server or what? Normally I can get 2 simultaneous downloads going from GoG's servers, both in the 15-22MB/sec range.

I'd be curious to know if this has happened to anyone else. For now, I'll try again later.

Even the Windows installers are slow as heck here.

Same, windows here. It's been a very long time since this has happened on GOG. Looks like a net issue at a CDN for them from what i can trace down.

edit: 19:12 -5 GMT appears to be all fixed now!

Heh, dial-up modem speeds were 3K-5K/sec if you were lucky. ;) I downloaded several Mac installers earlier today (including Atom RPG and Semblance) and it was fine.

Ahh.. You're right... i'm off by a factor of 10 - converting bits per second to bytes per second (remembering there were start/stop/parity bits)


Anyway, I just tried again and got normal download speed. looks like the issue is fixed.

Welcome to the diceroll that is GOG downloaders.
