What can I do to increase the speed of my download? Its currently at 2days til if finishes. Will I be able to stop the download and save my progress? I'd like to restart the download and get a better speed. Anything I can do in the settings?
Having the same problem myself.
Mine was at times showing 5 days remaining. All in all, it took a tad over a day and a half of straight downloading. Towards the end it kept pausing because of some weird errors, but would eventually get back to DLing if I left it alone.
Sometimes you need to switch between P2P downloading and not. It's in the launcher settings. With P2P, normally I get extremely fast speeds, but it is entirely dependent on peers. This time I was hitting 200 kb/s roughly. I disabled it and got 600.
On the other hand, my brother was getting 2.5 mb/s with P2P and constant disconnection errors without. So you need to find out which one works best for your connection.
I had a real slow download intitially as well. What i did was enable p2p and restarted the launcher. I was getting maybe 600kbs. Then i restarted the launcher and got 3mbs. HUGE difference! Hopefully you are lucky also. Goodluck!
ya guys remove p2p and do no p2p.
Keep in mind that some ISPs don't play nice with torrent/p2p packets, so you might find performance with that enabled to be erratic.
It took me slightly less than 45 hrs for mine to download with intermittent errors popping up but it would resume and finally installed with no problems. I did disable P2P but it didn't make any significant difference.
Test both P2P on and off. Your speed will vary throughout the download, but you can get a feel for which one is faster. Normally P2P off is faster. After playing around with my download I left P2P off and was at 1.89mbps, finished downloading in about 4+ hours.
