As topic says, I'm really getting fedup with how slow this site is, GOGbear has become my new friend. seriously GOG get some more bandwidth, or do as I suggested in another post I made a while back, have a GOG torrent tracker. seems to me you have your website and game downloads on the same server. Should be fun on the 19th May! :P

Just constructive criticism.

all the best

[edit] got release date of W3 wrong, sure it was the 15th last time I looked [months ago!]

I think it's a result of them tinkering with our accounts (unbundling/new accounts).

Yeah I think it's because they're making ready for something GOGchanging.

Getting more bandwidth requires spending more money.

Gog can get that money from its consumers.

Vote with your wallet for more bandwidth if you want to.

I thought they ran on server goblins. Bears were just bearers of bad news.

i am not tech, but i always thought that bandwith = the data that you used when getting gazillions of hits (visitors ) on your site

maybe the servers arent capable of handling all the requests at a same time

when you start a simple website at a host they give you x GB of storage and x bandwith

maybe they call the way a server can handle 100s of thousands of request at a certain time also bandwith but then it is a different then the one that is sued wheb you want to create a site wit a webhoster.



That bear looked like he couldnot handle the load....

The term bandwidth as currently used has several definitions:

1. quantity of connections possible at the same time

2. Throughput (this is the purest definition)

3. quantity of data per month. (Throughput is normally quantity of data per seconds)


They're all interconnected but 1 and 2 are the one at play when you can't connect to a web site.

I've always noticed in the afternoon the site really starts to slow down. I wish GOG could get more servers.
