I get sooo frustrated when scores don't get recorded even though I'm logged into the database.

Thankyou, this sounds like a plan. I tried a traceroute, I'm getting an insane amount of timeouts which may explain. I'll do what you say and leave it to continue overnight. Thanks again for your help. EDIT: Ok wow, the roms and meta data imported in literally less than a minute. So the slowdown is definitely all the content. Thanks again for your help. Hopefully this can assist others that have a similar issue.

Thanks for the extensive response. I don’t have a VPN so I think I’m at the mercy of the internet gods. It was 2/3 done, I canceled and kept the imported content hoping to continue the download overnight tonight. Unfortunately it seems to start from the beginning again rather than continuing, so I’m hoping I can figure out how to skip already downloaded content. I used the default option for importing the full Mame pack in the beginning and that included a lot of options. Does skip clones on import mean skip already download content or does it mean skip cloned/bootleg versions of games?

Before I get bombarded with RTFM etc, I did investigate if others were having this issue for a few hours and there is little or no response on reddit posts or this forum or the LaunchBox website. Most responses seem to be "That's not right", "I've got nothing." Example: Now I'm at 16 hrs so far for this much, considering my i7 9700k, EVO m.2 drive, hard-drive space and 100mb/s internet are not the issue, it has to be on the server side. I'm in Australia (Brisbane). Can I cancel this process and not have to go through the WHOLE thing again??? I've tried turning off windows security, I've excluded the LaunchBox and Mame folder, I am now at a loss on what in my system could be slowing this (but not blocking it). The only conclusion is the import process itself is extremely slow. What exactly happens in this process, which servers are used to download content etc. Emuline doesn't appear to be slow or down. This has to be one of the slowest content delivery methods I've ever encountered. Any suggestions? EDIT: OK I cancelled the import, kept the files so far and they show up. It's just an abysmally slow process I guess, any suggestions for improving the speed for the rest still welcome.
