I think one possibility is that they make it seem like you are downloading the full 12.3 GB, but that is really only the file size after installation, and what you are actually downloading is compressed and much smaller. I think this even happened with battlefield too. If I did the math correctly, that means I was downloading at 160 mbps. I sent a tweet right before I started the download because I was excited, and right when I finished because I was in shock of how short it took. As I said I get 1.4Mb/s on uTorrent which is what I should be getting but on Steam and Origin I usually get a bit higher speeds something like 1.8-2.0MB/s. Yes I know the difference between bytes and bits that's why it's weird to me (notice I said 13Mbit line not 13MB/s line). (HINT: Notice the capital 'B' and small 'b', B = bytes, b = bits) So, if you wonder why you never get 13MB/s per second on your line, well now you know.

Your download speed is around 13 Megabits per second according to and the origin is showing the speed upto 14 MegaBytes per second i.e., 1 MegaByte/s = 8 Megabits/s so your download speed should be around 13/8 MegaBytes/s i.e., around 1.6 Megabytes/s, nearly all the ISP's use Megabits to advertise their plans, so when you see a commericial next time saying that 'Enjoy 8Mb/s connection Speed' that means you'll be getting 1MB/s which is the value used by nearly all the Download Managers. More important it to stop this choking behavior.It's just a origin bug I believe, happens to everyone I think, you can't get anywhere close to 14MB/s on that connection. I'll be up voting Throttling as whilst i don't have a need for it, it is still a good thing to have. Steam has not ever suffered this at least in recent memory. Star Citizen launcher once did the same thing, but they have now fixed it.Įpic launcher continues to display the same poor behavior. My issue is posted here, I'd appreciate you doing your own research if your that way inclined. With this issue solved you will be able to download at full speed, whilst if another application or even another machine on your network wants to use the internet the discord download will back off and allow this to happen quite comfortably. I think a throttle would be a great idea, but the issue first and foremost is to stop the bad network behavior Discord displays. The High number of connections chokes out the ability to do anything else that requires internet connectivity.

I have evidence of Discord opening almost 50 connections do download. The real issue based on the descriptions above is that Discord is opening too many connections.
