Anybody else experiencing extremely slow DIM downloads? I am on a fast broadband internet and today my DIM downloads are poking along at 300 kbs and taking almost forever. There are even a few failures

Just tested it. 4.8 MB and faster. No problem.(edited- it keeps speeding up.)
I downloaded about ten gigs with no issue.
check speedtest.net
What I do when it sucks; it has not been Daz so far.
Yes, I am getting 24 kbs! It's awfully slow. Takes days to download new purchases. I have fast internet speeds. My usual DIM download speed, when DIM is not doing this ultra slow thing, is 700 - 1.3. I've been suffering at these low speeds since Floyd came out, I think.
Thanks guys. Maybe I just happened to get a bad connection to the DAZ server. I did run a couple of different internet speedtests and they all came back with my normal 60+ mbps
Varies between 24k and 10M, mostly staying around 3M.
I am getting super slow speeds through DIM as well.
Been slow for me recently too.
Yes, quite slow. It gets better after Midnight Daz time for me.
I thought it might have something to do with my 4G connection, but my downloads at another 3d content store are still quite fast, so the fact that others are bringing this up here tells me that it's not just me.
As an example of the slowness I'm seeing on my end, I started downloading the Edward 8 Pro bundle four hours ago. The other two products I grabbed for the discount were fairly small (less than 25 mb each, had them in the first few minutes), but I still have two downloads to go on the Pro bundle (the third to the last is wrapping up as I type this).
SSSSOOOOOOOOO SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
You guys are all spoiled. I'm overjoyed when I get speeds as good as 300kBps.

As an example of how slow it has been for me - I had 40 products to download and I started this morning. It is not 8 pm, and there are 32 left to go. Rediculously slow. Speed test shows normal speeds, so it's not my connection. @murgatroyd, I'd be happy with 300 today!
Given the storewide sale, there might be a lot of people trying to access the Daz servers? Maybe that would slow things down?
Then it would be slow for everyone, wouldn't it? Or do servers (if more than one) service different regions? I'm in the South (Florida) and mine is only a bit slower than usual, but still faster than what others are reporting. Might I ask what region people are in who are getting the ultra slow speeds?

Seems random with me the last couple of weeks. Sometimes one out of 10 downloads will start out fast and steadily drop from 3.5 MB/s to <100KB/s. DIM downloads two files at a time, and I can see (with two similarly sized files) one doing the usual, and the other just limping along. Not a problem with a small file, but I haven't done those Iray shader updates yet.
I use IDM to download the connect offline files. Earlier I used DIM but that would not saturate my bandwidth plus I faced tons of issues (CMS search related) while installing using DIM. Speed through IDM seems reasonable given that my connection to ISP node peaks out at 5 MB/s.
