Gazoo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I had some extremely slow download speeds for media, it took possibly 10 hours to complete 787 SNES image and video downloads last night to this morning. I tried the EmuMovies FTP directly and their cloud tool and the speeds were fine, is there anyway of debugging what could be so slow on this?

malarrya Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am having insanely slow downloads from EmuMovies through LB as well. Sega 32x took over an hour and there are only about 63 roms. Hyperspin's HyperSync is downloading very swiftly and I am on an extremely fast connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malarrya Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing that if you're using the FREE version of Launchbox your download speeds are throttled. Maybe I'll invest in LB someday but I've already put a lot of money, time, and effort into Hyperspin, EmuMovies, and RocketLauncher. I would like to be assured BEFORE I buy that if I paid for LB this wouldn't happen but until then I can only expect the same slow download frustration with the paid version.

armedgeek Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I have the same problem, i can't believe how SLOW emumovies servers are. I have a premium version of Launchbox and a paid account via Emumovies. I chose Launchbox simply for one reason, it's easy gathering all of my game image/videos. However, if Emumovies wants to limit bandwidth, this puts a strain on Launchbox. It shouldn't, but it does. If i have to manually hit FTP servers for over 120 systems and do the research for which folders to add images etc. it takes away from the simplicity Launchbox is bringing to the table.

Jason Carr Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hi all, the EmuMovies download speeds have nothing to do with whether you have a premium or free LaunchBox version, as EmuMovies is separate from LaunchBox. However, I expect that speeds are likely faster with a premium EmuMovies subscription, but @circo would need to confirm that. For what it's worth, we are throwing immense amounts of traffic both to our servers and EmuMovies servers as of the last few days, so it's possible that things are slower because of the extra traffic. I also have plans to multi-thread the EmuMovies downloads, which should help speeds there as well eventually. Finally, I'm adding a new server tonight to help with downloads from the LaunchBox Games Database, but that won't affect the EmuMovies downloads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
