download speed test vs what the game actually downloads at

found the solution. apparently the game installers have caches too and i just need to clear that for it to be back up to its proper speed.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable for any public forum to require a person to register themselves to use it.  Certainly spambots have no concerns getting registered.  😜

Yes like you already figured out, the caching server or actual file hosting server could be getting hit hard with network traffic causing you to download things slowly. Resetting cache can help, but not always, sometimes it's just out of your control, like I said if a lot of other people are also hitting the cache server or file server everything will be slow for everyone regardless of internet speeds.

I really only posted here because I love your username. Like why do I need a separate att account and forums account?

Also I had signed in literally 5 minutes ago to post a question, why did I have to re-sign in to comment. Ngl seems like a very basic webpage with not a lot of thought put into it.

Thank you for that insight! And I couldn't agree more about the forums sign up. Make very little sense to me.

You have a separate forum account because you don't need AT&T service to be a forum member. Some people who are looking into AT&T services, or once had it, post as well.

If you didn't want an account than you were free not to post. You could have just browsed and read. Being able to post willy nilly would open up the forum to nonsense posts and the like per the nature of people on the internet.

You think I made an account just to browse and read or just to post here? Crap response from an (Edited per community guidelines). There's no authentication for this forum, so it's not like it's protecting against bot accounts, so again, crap response from an (Edited per community guidelines).
