Best place to download the client

So i am trying to download the client from

Manual Downloads for the 6.0.1 RoM Client?

and it is very very slow. so far i have downloaded 330mb in the last 2 hours. Is there any where else i can get it faster? is the gameforge downloader faster?

thanks

Depends where you picked the download from - both Depositfiles & FileFactory will be slower because of the nature of file-sharing sites.

The Frogster Online links should provide best performance. As far as I know, this is where the GameforgeLive downloader also downloads from.

In addition to what Yrcanos said:

FileFactory and, I presume, Depositfiles have also caused file corruption *for some people*. This may also be due to the nature of file-sharing sites.

Also, your download speed for the direct file downloads will depend on 1.) your overall nominal download speed, 2.) the number of files you are trying to download at the same time, 3.) the CPU internal clock speed as well as the internal bus and I/O speeds of your computer, and 4.) the R/W speed of your storage device (HDD or SSD).

Along with Yrcanos, I'd recommend using either the Frogster-Online or Frogster.de links.

Ok cool. thanks for the info. I have a new HP quad core cpu machine so it is pretty dang fast. i also have a fast fast connection and i am downloading one thing at a time. Ill try the frgoster.de because for some reason, the gameforge download manager has issues. Whenever i pause it, and then try to resume it, it starts all over from the begining again and also for no reason it will start all over randomly haha.

thanks

Best thing to do is to go into Programs and Features, then remove the GFL. You don't really need it. Also, before reinstalling the game, remove it through P&F.
