I had bad download speeds in Windows 7 until I've changed some settings (can't remember what :( ) and now I have decent speeds. The download would start with good speeds but then would slow to a crawl (0.001) at about 20-30%, even after the downloading frenzy was over.
The solution I found on Elite Dangerous forums.
Don't have time to look for that thread, so sorry for not posting a link.

Just wanted to let you know that you can fix this problem by yourselves and doesn't depend on your ISP or Frontier ISP.
 
Anyone in? What do the ships cost?

We learned yesterday that the gold Apple watch will cost as much as $17,000, so to keep the mood I'm expecting big prices for the FDL!
 
They're distributed through the Amazon cloud. I'd suggest that bandwidth isn't the problem here.

Have you tried the steps outlined in the support FAQ? https://support.elitedangerous.com/kb/faq.php?id=56

I have tried that this time. In the past some have said it improved things greatly, and others that it made no difference. I seem to be in the 'no difference' camp, or at least not much difference. Download speed is still very slow: looks like around an hour and a half, total. But at least I am not (yet) getting periods when it simply stopped for a while.
 
This all sounds like a whole lot of work. I'm happy to check this all out.
Keep up your great work ... and thank you!
 
Mine slowed 2-3 times to about .2, but it's at 4 with 5 minutes left now.. seems like there's patches of large quantities of files slowing the rate.
 
3.67gb seems excessive even for a major update! I think some work needs to go into streamlining this kind of thing... at my normal internet speed that's going to take about 5 hours :(
 
Thanks for the debug camera, any outside view is very much welcome, such a beautiful and detailed game needed that.
 
The Notes

Anyone seen a Vulture or FDL NPC yet? ... or the utility slot updates?

I am beginning to believe they were forgotten...

I am rather sure the notes didn't cover the release of the Shield Boosters and Hull Package Upgrades,
I have yet to find any of these, including the FDL/Vulture for sale.
 
The list of fixes alone is by all means IMPRESSIVE. I really like the new audio and the new game features are simply awesome. Wings adds so much to gameplay and immersion.
And to the designers, modelers, coders and audio engineers of the Fer-De-Lance... because of you, i now have to spend days, probably longer to afford this ship... BECAUSE OF YOU!

It is really fun to witness the dev process of Elite: Dangerous! You people at FD make much bigger companies look like lazy fools. A true thank you, for all your hard work! :)
 
Every patch downloaded so far brings me back to the days of my old external rs232 US-Robotics 1200 Baud modem downloading stuff from BBSs...

Seriously , i never had speed issues when downloading from other software companies servers...

now at 0.68MB/s out of 50MB/s connection
