Hi
I m getting incredibly long download times on the new update 811
Has been flipping between 2 days and 8hrs after over 39 mins still saying mostly 7 or 8 hrs.
My internet download speed is 19 Mbps

Surely not that busy.

Mike

Yes indeed. I'm superfast fibre 300mb per second. It's telling me 4hrs to download a 320mb file. For me that should be about 6 seconds.

What a joke. Maybe it's timed to finish Christmas day.

Same here. Took a while to download, not normal.

Also one of the new 8th styles is mis-labled.

*_TING8.STY

Ting Triangle Train Trip 8ths-26

Should be Ting Triangle Train Trip 8ths-260 as the demo song loads at 260 BPM

Hi Andrew

After 4 and ½ HRS still only got 200 mg. so I have aborted and tried again on my main Pc .
Unfortunately it is still reporting time remaining between 2days and 8or 9 hrs.
So some thing a bit odd with the connection to uk it seems.
So far have 7.2 /320MB 14hrs left.

Yes the alternate link was excellent. I have GIG speed and the normal link was at 5 to 6 hours alternating. The link you posted, I got is about 6 seconds!


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Perhaps, someone who is having this problem with the previous link, could run this command at a command prompt and send me your results:

tracert nn.pgmusic.com

Also, is there anyone NOT in Eastern USA, Europe, or UK having this problem?

Yep, still a problem here in South Carolina this morning (Dec24th) On my crummy AT&T 30Mbps download speeds, the original download link estimated over 19 hours to download the file.

On the alternate link that Andrew posted the download time was less than 2 minutes.

Thanks for posting that Andrew...I was ready to give up on the newest update.

Here in US Central Time Zone, the original link alternated between 14 hours and 2 days for download completion - then self-canceled, noting "network problems". The alternate link was fine - downloaded in less than 30 seconds. Time tried original link three times: 1:06 pm; 1:11 pm; and 1:22 pm. Alternate link downloaded at 1:27 in 30 seconds with no issues.


EDIT: It took this message almost 2 minutes to post after clicking onto the "submit" tab. My Internet speed clocked at 67 mps.
