Hi guys, I am not very knowledgeable about all this stuff but have tried to download SSE from Shipsim.com a few times now. Download speed starts pretty high then drops off rapidly to less than 20kB/s.
is this due to the large amount of people downloading at the same time? Any help appreciated

I can't swear to it but I would say no.  I was on when the game was initially released.  I was getting right at the max that my modem could handle.  There were a lot of people doing the exact same thing and it was flying.  Maybe there is just a LOT more internet traffic now that it is the weekend.

I'm in northern California in the USA and got great rates at the time...

Maybe my location, West Australia, has something to do with it

Seems like the one thing that does work on steam is a fast download. Getting 1.5 MB/s
