I think Comcast has the fastest consumer internet around, every time I had it, it was incredibly fast and reliable short of an occasional modem/router reboot once a month for GP.
The download is done. But I am still waiting for the installation to finish.
I don't understand why this takes so long, though. No part of the system is anywhere near its limits, CPU at about 4% usage, the drive somewhere below 1% of what it could handle in data transfer...
Ah, verification phase is now on. But that doesn't mean that it would be any faster...
EDIT: Well, I thought that the game would be installed during the download. I was wrong. The installation just started.

Nice parking.
If you already have wires in place, definitely use them. But if you don't, mesh WiFi systems that let you move between access point around you house are great for mobile devices but also have a bandwidth nearly as good to better than 1GHz wired networks.
I used to have ethernet over power which gave me about 150mbps over the house power circuit, but that's not fast enough when you want to reliably stream HD movies. I was about to fit wires, but then bought a mesh WiFi set up that runs at over 800mbps. My issues is the broadband comes into the house on the top of 3 floors where the home office is, and the TV is on the ground floor.
Things are getting mysterious. Last night, I paused the installation because I was tired and wanted to watch a little YT to relax.
When I closed steam, instead of the normal "shutting down steam" message, I first got a message "stopping Elite Dangerous download".
Right now, I wanted to resume installation and get a message "downloaded file missing" and steam takes up the download at 92%.
What the huh?

A good day indeed.........
Not my personal best, ever the less, still a good day.

Someone mentioned Distributed Denial of Service attacks. I hate anyone who does this. There's better use for these than attacking some gaming servers...
This doesn't €ffin' work... It can't be that the installation takes as long or even longer than the download...
Start task manager, check on activity. Usually (in my case) Windows defender and the ED installer are fighting over disk access, blocking each other and almost everything else.
I haven't seen any hint on the ED installer... Just steam trying to install the downloaded and unpacked data...
This feels like a giant mess.
I am now trying to move the folder back to the main drive after relocating (and seemingly accidentially deleting) some folders...
In the task manager, there is almost no action at all, a few processes lighting up from time to time with single digit (and below) activity spikes...

That is something everyone agrees upon.
I guess the installation of Elite will have to be postponed to the end of the week, real life needs my attention.
I said a little while back that I've never had scavs land after a settlement was powered up. Yeah... correct, they did and took my Scorpy out. Didn't even hear the tell-tale rattling of their dropship coming in! Bah

But I guess you made them pay for your loss.
Total annihilation.
It used to happen to me all the time, and is the main reason I stopped taking my SRV in close. They seem to be attracted to SRVs and always shoot them up.I said a little while back that I've never had scavs land after a settlement was powered up.

Isn’t it sometimes the “legit” settlement faction returning actually? Still, they tend to be a bit unamused at how much titanium/carbon fibre plating etc. one may have “collected” at their place while on the job… switch the alarm off once the power is back on if you have kleptomaniac tendencies like me
