Patch 1.2 download speeds

Has anybody noticed if you stop and start the download you get different download speeds?

I tried it after 2 hours at 0.20 MB/s, got 0.33 MB/s, tried it again and got 285.00 MB/s
 
The download speed fluctuates, leave it alone and will (normally) complete by itself.

It is only because so many people are doing the update at once. Played many an online game that takes just as long to download no matter when you do the update.

I find it downloads a lot quicker when I am not watching the download speed.

I think you'll find the unreal speed of 285 MB/s is while the download checks the files you already have,don't worry it'll soon slow down again...
 
Am I doing something wrong? (long Patch Time thread)

I started downloading this patch yesterday as soon as the patch was available for download. I've been at 0.11mbps since. I've tried everything, I think at one point I have over 40IP adds banned from ED. I've cleared it, and even stopped downloading for ever 3 hours, thinking that might be it. It's now 4:30am. I have 3hours more to go. So far, the Dev's and Forum mods have, in their infinite wisdom straight up ignored this issue. I'm hearing people have downloaded the update neigh instantly so that leaves me going ? I only get a few hours a week (See: Less than 4 hours) to play and yesterday was my only other day off this week, and I spent it staring at +/- 16hr 0.04 / 0.08 mbps. I know it's not my internet, called the company and even checked on speedtest and other similar websites, I'm still pulling well over 5mpbs downloading and uploading. Even updated star trek online (had a 4gig update) and I ate that patch in under 30 minutes. But E:D? ... still at .11 ish.


TL:DR: Read the thread, this isn't twitter.
