Nexus mod downloading slowly

Traditionally IP's supply bandwith and not overall data transfer values. If bandwith is at capacity then the IP throttles total volume. The site then reduces the capacity of total data transfers or reduces the available amount of transfers occuring. Asking for excessive experiance based information within a gaming forum is like requesting an explaination of aspartame production at the chewing gum factory in a HPLC discussion group.

Sure they are related. Last edited by Improper Use ; 15 Sep, am. Noppius View Profile View Posts. Nexus has this trouble almost every time there is a sale for Skyrim.

A bunch of new people buy the game or they get the DLC that they are missing and run to Nexus for the Unofficial patches, ENB settings and a ton of other mods. The influx of people is just to big for the Nexus servers to handle. Also, Nexus has had troubles in the past with hackers that tried to shut the servers down by overloading it there is a technical term for this but i keep forgetting it. The team has come up with solutions but maybe they are having a new hit on the servers.

That would also trouble the legit users. If you keep having trouble downloading stuff, you could wait for a few days and try again. Hope this helps a bit in explaining stuff. For these users, their experience is not changing at all. They'll still be able to browse the site and receive the exact same experience as they always have done in the past. In conclusion, we like to reward users who contribute financially to the running of the site, but not punish users who use Adblockers. Speed caps Premium Members who have financially supported Nexus Mods are able to download without a speed cap as they are directly supporting the upkeep of the sites.

Unlimited Users with a Premium membership. This speed is uncapped but varies by location. How fast are "Unlimited" Premium member downloads? Why does Nexus Mods place a speed cap on downloads? Why increase the speed for non-Adblock users, Supporters, and Mod Authors? Steps to reproduce: Download a mod through Mod Manager Download, happening with every mod. I decided to just get premium to have no download cap. I have restarted vortex, restarted my pc and nothing seemed to have worked.

Download speed is not limited by Vortex - at all. Even the non-premium cap isn't. That's all under control of the server. Vortex Version: 0. Best regards, Weston.

My internet is fine and I know my firewall isn't interfering with it in any way. Now I can't even do that. Inspect:: mod failed to downlaod due to a time out sorry cant remember the exact wording and i couldnt copy and past from the Inspect pop up info. I'm getting an odd issue where I have paid for premium download speeds, and get those when I am manually downloading from the nexus server.

I've tried letting it through the firewall but I'm unsure of what else could be the problem. I'm unsure if this is a temporary speed issue, as it's only being affected by downloading through vortex and it's been happening since yesterday. I'm aware that the solution would be to just download manually and install from file, but if there is anything I could try to fix it that would be great.
