Download speed of only 80kbps?

[IMPERIUS]

Hi!

 

I'm currently downloading gta 5 with only 80kbps. My normal speeds are 320kbps. I know that isn't much but it can't use only 1/3 of my available speeds. I'm not doing anything while the game is downloading.

 

Why is that? Where is the problem? Am I or the R* servers so shitty? What can I do?

 

Thanks!

80kbps or 80 KB/s?

I actually had the same problem when downloading GTA V at launch so I would say it's their servers

80kbps or 80 KB/s?

 

Isnt this the same? its 80KB/ sec

[Altecice]

Isnt this the same? its 80kb per second

No 

 

for example;

10kB/s = 80kbps

 

The B/b is the difference between bits(1) and bytes(8).

But this will more than likely be a R* issue.

So I guess im stuck with this shit..., right?

[Sintezza]

anyhow 80KB/s is still very poor.

 

No wonder that soo manny people pirate that game. lol.

80 KB/s = 640 Kb/s

[evilarceus]

Speedtest.net results?

[Sintezza]

80 KB/s = 640 Kb/s

 

lol yes, or in other terms arround 5mbit

But thats still garbage.

 

op are you using adsl?

[FuzzyYellow]

i'm on ADSL and i get 300KB/s on steam usually. I don't have GTAV to test their servers though.

[IMPERIUS]

Speedtest.net results?

 

2.98 mbps

 

lol yes, or in other terms 8mbit

But thats still garbage.

I'm not sure but yes, I think so

[Sintezza]

2.98 mbps

 

 

I'm not sure but yes, I think so

 

Yeah wel 2,98mbps is basicly ~ 372 Kb/s

[IMPERIUS]

Yeah wel 2,98mbps is basicly ~ 372 Kb/s

 

yup, but I only got about 80-90Kb/s

[Wiplive]

2.98 mbps, might as well just suicide. I think my 300 mbps is meh.

I've been having roughly the same issue with steam lately as well. Steam has been downloading at as low as 32KB/s (but usually around 110KB/s) even though speedtest tells me I get 28Mb/s down.

[killtothis]

Are you downloading from R* Warehouse or Steam? 
If Steam try to change download server location if the former, can't really suggest anything I got my copy through there and the speeds were abysmal (I generally get 18MB/s on Steam)

[Sintezza]

Well please give me that 300mbps.

Because we talk about 37.5MB/s then

Here you go, not exactly 300, it's mostly from 250 ~ 300, depending on what day. My fastest download speed was 31 MB/s on Torrent, Steam never goes above 25 MB/s.

If you're downloading using GTA launcher then your ISP can be throttling it. My ISP did for a while until I rang up my ISP and they removed the throttle.

 

I think Rockstar use some kind of P2P service to distribute it. Takes load off their servers.

i have 200mbit, and i easaly reach it.

Except that 200 mbits = 25 mb/s, so you're lying.

You mean the launcher that i got from the R* version of the game, right? Yes, I do use that one.

Also, all my other downloads were maxing out their speeds, even when I was simultaneously downloading watch dogs on uplay and stopped gta for a minute it maxed out. Why/ could he even block one service?

Because ISP's.

 

I remember a while back some ISP's used to block akamai (I know BSkyB used to) and would heavily throttle download speeds/connection to the server. Mine used to time out after a while. 

 

It might be the case, but again I could be entirely wrong. Seems likely however.

Also, I sometimes (but very rarely) do get my speed maxed out
