IronArcturus: I've tried multiple computers on my connection and they all get the same slow connection to GOG. I've tried both the downloader and the website and they're both slow as well. I've asked a friend to check their connection to GOG, but they live in a different area.
I really want this slow downloading problem to be solved. I won't be able to use GOG anymore if the connection is going to be "7 KB/sec." It's just ridiculous and I really wish GOG could figure out what is wrong. :(
Similar to what someone else suggested - turn off firewall (or disable it temporarily), try another computer on your internet connection, make sure no other programs/services are running on the PC/network your connected to. Is anything else slow on your internet? Are you perhaps over quota and shaped for time being?. Last resort try another router (it can and does happen...). Like others have said, there is a distinct possibility its somewhere along chain of servers between you and GOG...Have full speed over here when downloading from GOG (depending on whatever this connection is connected at however...sometimes 13MB, more likely around 7MB :/ ).I really want this slow downloading problem to be solved.
