Is the varied (but usually extremely slow) download speed a common Curse-issue, or just for the Minecraft "section" of Curse?
Anyone else but me experience this oddity?
Background:
I notice that sometimes I can get a fairly decent 2 - 4 MB/s download speed, but more often than most I get something like 30 - 60 KB/s. The same "1st world problem" (Yeah, I know it's not a big deal) can be noticed on the Curse Voice (beta) client, so I am assuming the issue is global for Curse as a whole. Perhaps some inefficient load balances that are not delivering the most efficient servers to users?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that downloads sometimes don't succeed at all. I had forgotten this issue, but was reminded just now when a 125 MB file "completed" at 31 MB...
Needless to say; It surprises me greatly that a service as big as Curse would have any issue what so ever with upload speed. I hope it gets resolved sometime. It's been around for a long - long time. I've never seen anyone else comment about it. (Perhaps it's taboo. If such, I don't expect this thread to survive moderation for long ...)
I've never gotten any bad download speeds but it sounds like maybe a problem with throttling with your ISP. If you got a router from your ISP sometimes they do that.
Fair point. However, I doubt I'd notice much throttling on a 100 Mbps-line. I don't think they would dare to go against laws over here and cap anything except to prevent me from going beyond 100 Mbps.
The router is my own, too. I don't trust the cheap ones the ISP "recommends".
