    It seems that every time I try to download a different game, I get a different download speed. Sometimes it's painfully slow, sometimes it's awesome and other times it starts of decent/slow and eventually becomes zero. It's become quite annoying for me since these "some" games just seems impossible to download for me. Initially i thought it was my connection problem since erm, internet connection in my country generally kinda sucks...but then again I've gotten consistently good download speeds for quite a few games. I'm just wondering whether there is and hoping that there is a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance xD

    P.S - great site, you guys rulez ^^

    I'd say it's your net, however I'd advise a download manager incase they get cut off (in which saves you re-downloading it).


    Free download manager or flashget are what I'd suggest...and what country are we talking about?


    Wireless broadband REALLY sucks no matter where you are :(

    Brunei, and yea it REALLYYYYYYY sucks. I'm using free download manager. Got some slight improvement. But I don't mind slow speed. I just hate download speed of 0kb/s =="

    Mine is unstable, and that's worse...I'd rather a steady steam of 6kbs than 80 to 50 to 5 to 20 etc...


    I'd say it's just your net from what I can read.

    That's the nature of free membership. You get what's available after premium members have had their share. The next update will specifically show how much of the connection is in use and the maximum download speed we'll allow. (Your connection might be slower obviously)
