Slow Downloading Speed. Leave a Reply. Soul Shriven. The difference between the 'slow and fast' bits you are experiencing is due to the difference between downloading data, and applying patches.

I bought the game yesterday during the GMG sale. I went through the whole process of registering, installing the launcher, etc. and now I'm at the point of downloading the game.

The thing is it has already been 12 hours and it is at about 8%. The download speeds are all over the place, from 0 to 1.3 MB/s, on average.

I think this is extremely slow, considering that I have fully downloaded games with huge sizes like this one before in way less time than this.

Is this normal for this game or is it just the servers under heavy load because of too many people buying the game during the GMG sale?

Thanks!!

So I came back to find out that the problem was still happening. When I got home, the damn downloader was still at 16%!!! I noticed a small message on the bottom saying 'WebGet Request Failed'. If I hit 'pause' and the 'resume' the download restarts (at super slow speed) but a few minutes in, the same message comes back, stopping all downloading activity again. Closing the launcher and restarting it makes no difference.

I started doing some digging on the internet and apparently it is a common issue but nobody seems to have a real solution. There is even a page dedicated to it on the TESO support page (https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3040) but none of the suggestions there have made any difference whatsoever.

At the moment, the only thing that seems to kind of work is what some people have suggested, which is to manually pause it and resume every time the error shows up, which is exactly what I have been doing. 3 hours later I managed to go from 16 to 17%!!!!. Completely unacceptable.

Has anyone had better luck with this error? I already tried everything suggested. Running as admin, restarting the launcher, pause and resume, adding an exception to the antivirus (norton) and disabling it completely.

It finally got to 100%. The only option was to simply wait for it. I kept getting the 'WebGet' error once in a while but I think it restarted the download by itself every time. If I got to see it I paused it and resumed it. Eventually it finished. I even think it got a bit faster towards the end. I didn't really pay attention to when I started this little adventure but I estimate the whole thing took about 36 hours.

Thanks everyone for your input!
