I will give it another hour and then reinstall ED - just noticed the ALTERNATIVE METHOD of Downloading - 0.74 MB/s > 4h

I don't see how you can claim there IS NOTHING WRONG on your end. There obviously is dude! lol!
Its obvious there is an issue somewhere between your rig and the download servers. If this was a global problem, you would be hearing about it on here. The fact that I was able to get the same file in 20 minutes using a fraction of your speed pretty much proves that to be the case. I used the ED launcher and not through the Steam app by the way. If you are going through Steam, you might want to use the launcher stand alone, launched from the Desktop.
Also... You might try NOT playing any games while you are attempting to download this? I generally don't run any apps of any kind when I am downloading updates. I've just found this tends to make for the smoothest and fastest process.

LOL when I hit the error message it stopped downloading - and did the fault finding without the download going.
Now it's connected @ 0.52mb/s 6h
Now it's connected @ 0.52mb/s 6h
That long ? mine took 4 max lol as soon as they mentioned it was live in the stream, clicked download update via the launcher and was laughing my off at how fast and smooth it went
and I am only on a VDSL 40Mb connectionITS GOING UP ! 0.9 nnnnnoooooooo now its going down again !
0.6 and holding strong only 5h + to go.
The message has now changed in the Server Status box to ISSUES DETECTED so it isn't my side or my connection.
It's ED not having enough grunt to keep up with demand.
I mean if APPLE can give me an update in seconds why can't you guys ?

Well. glad I started at 1.30 this afternoon exactly, or I think I would still be going at the week end......
now at 8.8gb of 13.0gb done, but speed has dropped to a whopping 100kb/s as a rough average...
Ok that was a high reading which dropped in the time it took to type it, lets actually call that a high, with more like an average 85kb/s and a laughable 11hrs remaining estimation...

That's nothing! I'm getting 0.04MB/s and 3 days to download!
0.04mb/s Jesus Christ where are you living
I'm in the UK and I get 70Mb/s, only not from frontier it seems.
Oh, oh ... someone suggested alternative download from options, that's better, only ... 11hours to go.
An hour later and the download speed was up to 75Mb/s, only 20 minutes more.

None of your stats matter to be honest, it just makes you come off as arrogant.
I have no issues with the mission boards personally, I downloaded the update in 20 minutes, and have gotten no server disconnections, so it could entirely be related to your computer and or connection? just saying stats means nothing directly....
Your computer stats does not prevent there from being problems with said computer or connection.

Has it got Dobly?
I'm also on a 200Mbit fibre connection and this happens with every major ED update for me. Just wait until 3am, or later in the week when the servers are less busy and it will be fine.
It's patch day and everyone is downloading a very large update at the same time. Petulant forum whining and showing off your system specs won't make a bit of difference to FD and their server farm. If you really want them to notice your problem, then log a support call. You never know, if enough people log the same issue every time there's a major release, then maybe they will eventually take notice and temporarily beef up their update servers and/or AWS bandwidth allocation for release day to stop this happening.

That just might be the difference between a rig and a rig
God someone needs to chill out, put their e-peen away and learn how not to be an obnoxious individual.
Remember children, you are not your system specs, or the size of your ego, you are not important all that much really, and no a CPU doesn't need to run at 40C in order to be stable, these are the facts... deal with it.
Yeah my bad Core2Quad 2.8GHz BEAST of a rig (from 7 years ago) is downloading (From the middle of nowhere Canada) at a thundering 4MB/s and i don't have a 200mb fibre connection.
