Extremely slow and inconsistant PTS download speed.

Title says it all, im Yoyoing between 150Kb/s - 500kb/s on a 70Meg download service and i live ~20m away from the substation; what the heck is happening with this?

It has been like this for almost 20 hours i left on my computer overnight/while i was out and made sure it was downloading the whole time.

Yes i have tried restarting the whole thing; that was fun, having too wait almost 20 mins for it too re-initialize itself.

Its got 14420Mb remaining - is there someway i can fix this/not have too re-download the entire game?

Many thanks.

(Also where the hell are the download servers?)

Sorry if you weren't aware this equates too a 45 hour download.

I'm getting the same. It's abysmal, but I imagine so many people are hitting PTS over the changes it's slammed.

I have no help or insight, I just want to check something. Does your progress bar also barely move? I went to bed at 12% with 34 gigs to go and when I got up this morning it was at 21% with 8 gigs to go. It's currently at 24% with 2 gigs remaining.

I've been having the same problems as well. Tried everything I could, but looks like I'll be stuck downloading at 200-300Kb/s for a day (or two...). It's strange because the normal server has pretty good download times for me, just seems to be the PTS server that takes ages.
