    When I'm downloading a game, the speed is too slow. Like up to 4 kb/s. And once it reaches up to a certain point, the download stops itself and I get an error. I didn't have these problems before, only yesterday up to today.

    Please test your speed using Speeedtest.net.

    It may be an error on your side, not ours.

    Well, it says my download speed is 0.93 mbps. So I don't think it's an error on my side.

    So I tried downloading at another ROM site and I can download there just fine. No errors, regular speeds. So the problem is probably with the site.

    You could always try using download managers like Orbit and FlashGet.

    Just don't forget to only use 1 thread for downloading stuff in Romu.

    I'm personally experiencing really slow download speeds as well, as in 4 kb/s.

    How does one use a download manager for Romulation?

    Looks like it really is a server problem. I'm getting dismal (more than usual) download speeds even with a manager. It's bouncing between 5 - 15 kb/s

    It's a problem with our host, not our server. We can only really wait for them to fix it.

    Definitely your side, not mine.

    No host is still having issues on and off, this is not resolved yet.

    a proxy would slow things down.
