I can regularly download at over 300 kb/s.  I know the servers are busy and all, but when I try to download it, it goes at an absurbly slow 50 kb's.  Anyone else finding themselves getting really slow download speeds?  In the meantime, I canceled my download and am going to wait till I get my college class later and download it then.

I'm in Singapore and it's running between 800kbps to 1.3mbps. Took a while for the download to start though.

Same here, download speed is abyssmal... Normally I manage 1.4 Mbyte/sec, but the demo download tops at 148KB/sec.



I assume the servers are getting hammered at the moment.

It is a little busy at the moment (small understatement FTW!)

We have shared the demo out to otehr websites and mirrors. Hopefully this will help speed things up. :)

I usually average between 1 and 2 mb/s, but I'm getting 300kb/s or lower with this. I understand that the servers are busy, but why didn't they put the download up on Steam and other websites to help decrease the traffic for this single download?


EDIT: Chris answered my questions seconds before I posted. Guess I'll go play some Origins until it's done. <3 Dragon Age!

only about a 3 hour and 27 minute wait for me.

edit: wait, nope; download just jumped to 4 hours 35 minutes ETA. Luckily, those times rarely mean anything.

Started at 180kb/sec, now down to 60kb/sec.

But I guess the amount of simultaneous downloads must be huge at the moment...
and no server has unlimited bandwidth, no matter how big the company.

It's fluctuating between 70 and 50 kb/s for me. I just wanted to get the download started then go back to bed for another hour but...this is disheartening.

Why not just have an official torrent, EA?

This is making me realize for the first time just how POPULAR Dragon Age is. I used to think it was only a small minority of the gaming community that enjoyed the games, but with all the hype surrounding Dragon Age 2, and now this Demo download, I know better.

Steam would have been a good idea. Or share it as torrent

Yeah, I'm only getting about 115 KB/sec, for which I feel fortunate. It's to be expected, though, before the pin map and download counter were taken off of the DA II Demo page, the download count was up to 42,380 and that was only after about 30 minutes.

I'm getting roughly 300 KB/sec, which is really normal for me.



Being in Norway sucks.

120 KBps here. Pretty fast considering they do not use a torrent system of some sort which could make it up to 500 KBps for me... heh

Would be a good idea to get it on Steam ASAP too (surprised it wasn't on there straight away to be honest).

Slow download times make me sad face.
