Downloading KSP is cursed for me!

[BT Industries]

(Before I begin I would like to emphasise that these issues have nothing to do with KSP)

 

Maybe two or three days after 1.2 came out I decided to get it, so I started the download (I'm on Mac so no patcher)

After half an hour it failed

I tried again

Server migration (what!?)

I tried again

Server migration

I tried the installer

Looks promising

Ten minutes later - 2 days 10 hours left

I tried the installer again

The exact same thing

I give up and decide to wait until 1.2.1 comes out so I wouldn't have to go through this twice

1.2.1 is released

I start the normal download just before going to sleep

I wake up in the morning expecting to play a shiny new version for a bit

It's maybe one tenth done and downloading at a rate of 2 Kbps

Feeling optimistic, I decide to leave it all day, hoping it will return to normal speed

I come back to check it a 5:00 in the evening

Its hasn't made any progress and is now downloading a rate of 1 Kbps 

I start the download again

Server migration 

I try the installer

After the estimated time left jumps around 5 or 6 hours, it finally settles at about 2

I come back after a walk around town

The download has failed

I start it again and decide to sleep on it

I wake up this morning to find it downloading at 5 Kbps

I start it again

 

This is where I am now, 10th time lucky hopefully!

Ouch! Sounds frustrating as hell. It's not Squad's server though. I downloaded the Mac installer earlier today in only a few minutes. I think you need to check your internet settings and/or change ISP!

Yeah I know it isn't Squad's server, they can't migrate it that much.

The strange thing is that every single other version of KSP before has downloaded without a hitch!
