Well it turns out it was not on my end at all. I go out come back start the download over and it is going 700 to 800 kb/sec. Compare that to under 1 kb/sec. As for that work connection of course that is going to download fast it is a buisness line they need huge bandwidth to manage all the comps they must have. What I think happened is for some reason the server was giving me no bandwidth and now it is giving me a actual usefull ammount of bandwidth.

[quote] No matter how much you argue its still a connection issue on your end. But what do we know im sure most of us don't got 612 meg download speeds. I'm on dsl at my house and i go from 300-385 kbs so maybe your provider is ripping you off on your internet service. [/quote] Does not mean it is on my end I spore with my ISP and everything is fine. I have further frustration because I payed for the game in advance pre ordering it and I am not

Excuse me no I did'nt. Where do you go off calling me a lair? I used speed tests from many different areas that was just one of them and that was not bad. That is pretty good if you ask me. Besides I cannot have the download go real slow it will take days to get the game. I just downloaded a game from direct 2 drive in 10 minutes. Yes this game is going right now 25kb a sec if I am lucky. It is about 14 kb a sec but shoots up to about 25kb but is not going real fast.

there is no other servers you have to get it through the stardock program.

Reply to Where is my bandwidth Ironclad in Technical Sins Forums

well at the speed I am going I am lucky to get this game in 2 weeks. It would be faster to order a copy of it. But stardock said they will only give me 75% of what I paid for the downloaded version back. Which is just a kick in the face. I wanted to cancel my dowlnolaod order and buy a actual phisical copy of the game since it would come to me faster.

Umm no I pay allot of money for my connection and did speed tests and all the speed tests showed a dowload speed om 612 mb a sec. Infact stardock it's self downloaded in no more than a minute. Then it downloaded more stuff and again only took about a minute. Now the dowload is not even going 1 kb a sec this is anaceptable. I a long time ago had dialup that downloaded faster than this. When I had dialup a download would go 3 or more kb a sec. Yet I am getting around .66kb a sec so that is slow ev

I paid in advance to pre order sins of a solar empire. I dowload stardock central go to download and I am not getting the bandwidth I paid for. Common .11 kb/sec that is insanely slow. I am downloading it right now and I want iron clad to speed up this download and give me the bandwidth I paid for. I paid for this game and that download speed is rediculous and is a total ripp off. That would take me 2 or more weeks to get this file at this pathetic speed. I am downloading this game with my accou

I know that I called the day before as well and got no one Are you meaning Sunday since memorial day was on monday? Actually I tried on 3 different days to contact tech support over the phone prior to ever sending you a pm. I tried on Wednesday Thursday and Friday prior to the Monday that memorial day was on. None of those days could I get an ac

This is why I already called it before I even sent you a pm. I should miss something: it wasn't business hours when you have PMed me. Just check the hour of posts or your PM. They will give you the time zone in which Stardock is. I know that I called the day before as well and got no one. So first day I call I get no one and then they close for memo

That was what really aggrivated me about it. Had it said they were closed on there tech support line I would not have wasted money Well, I don't understand why you have tried to contact them since I have warned you by PM before business hours that probably nobody would be at Stardock that Monday. BTW, do you still have your problem playing GC2 or is it solved?</

Also from what I learned in history no one volunteered to be in a war they were forced. You can't tell me that most of the people who died in that war chose to be there. Quite frankly, what you learned was wrong. WHile I cannot give an exact number on what percentage of people that died were volunteers, there were many thousands who were. For example, our war for independence (the Revolutio

Those people were forced by there country to go out and die for them. 4 people. That's how many people in my family fought and died in WWII. 2 people. That is the number that fought and died in Vietnam. 1 more, my step father, fought in Vietnam, though thankfully lived to tell his tale...just. How many of those 7 brave souls were forced to fight by their country. None! . They all vol

I think I'm too late to the party here to post anything really meaningful. Suffice it to say that, even if you feel you're entitled to something, posting whiny, insulting, and/or accusatory comments on a message board isn't going to get your issue resolved any faster. Do you think you're the only one who's ever had problems with their PC games? Look around, everyone on this board is a PC gamer. I agree that you shouldn't have to w

No, he's being criticized for being an unrepentent jackass. It is not that I am impatient it is the fact I did not know it was memorial day in the states. They could have changed there phone message to say closed for memorial day and they chose not to. So I tried over and over to get someone not knowing that it was a us holiday. So really this ended up costing me money. When really I think it should say that

Has it occurred to you that Frogboy gets hundreds of PMs, and maybe he hasn't gotten around to reading yours? He's the CEO of Stardock, and a busy guy. And yes, yesterday was a national holiday in the USA. People don't work on Memorial Day here, deal with it. Do me a favor, avmf8. This Christmas try e-mailing Bill Gates to get tech support from him. Get back to me when he replies. In all serious, if you need help make a post in the Bug Reports forum. Th

If they are closed why did I see a stardock rep on? the guy that was on was frogboy. I sent him a Pm and he rudely ignored it. Maybe he is taking personal time because he loves the game (that's what I'm doing). Maybe he ignored it because you've been acting like a spoiled four year old all day. Life is full of questions...

But why does everything have to be shut down? Also I looked it up it is supposed to be on the 30th of May and this is not the 30th. Besides I have to pay more because I live in Canada and for some unfair reason my money is worth less than US money. OS really I paid enough for this game I should not have to wait another day just for this. Besides how am I supposed to know it is a Us holiday? Do you know about all the national holidays in every single country? Besides nowhere on there phone line d
