Sometimes it completely stops downloading.

Browser: Firefox

OS: Windows 8.1

I have also tried disabling my antivirus, but that didn't help either.

I don't think it's the download servers, because it's happened to me in a few other files as well.

I've tried downloading the executable too, but that doesn't seem to work either.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is the wrong board, but it seemed the most appropriate. I've looked around to see if anyone else has had similar problems but I didnt see any threads.

Moved to The Kerbal Network, though I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you. Could you try downloading in a different browser?

[NightmareRofls]

Thanks for the move, I didn't know where I should of put this.

I have tried downloading in Chrome but I get the same results.

I don't even wanna here it....

I mean seriously, look at the download time estimate.

[NightmareRofls]

... I am so sorry.

[Endersmens]

Not sure what happened there, I paused the download and restarted my internet modem and then it worked alright. But seriously, 13 BYTES a second is just painful to think about.

[NightmareRofls]

Dang, I'm still going slow. Luckyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Well, at least you don't have Comcast. Maybe you're being throttled?

Maybe. I can still stream 720p - 1080p youtube perfectly fine though, and all of my steam games download regularly. It just seems like a few different things are having trouble.

Is there anything I could do if I were?

When downloading from steam, you can swap which server you prefer for game downloads, if you tried that, maybe your connection to that particular server is bad?

go to this link: steam://settings/downloads

There were DNS issues recently, can you try another DNS server?

I was getting this issue as well, but not from steam. Of course, it was also release day so everyone and their dog's dog was downloading KSP 1.0 at the same time, but I did notice that my downloads routinely failed at exactly 112mbs.

Don't really have anything to add in terms of a solution, but thought I'd post that I, too, was having KSP-specific internet slowdown.

My DNS currently is hitronhub. I've tried using googles public DNS, but got the same problem.
