This is due to the connectivity between the ISPs in the UK compared to the connectivity of some ISPs in Brazil. However, some of our users in Brasilia, a similar distance to LA, will get far lower speeds than this to the same LA location.

Whatever speed a user gets from our download servers is the maximum uninhibited speed possible between our server and your computer - if it's slow, it's almost certainly because the traffic is not being routed well by either our ISP or your ISP but, unfortunately, that is not something we have control over to fix.Īn example of this is here in the UK where on a basic 75Mbit home connection if I try to download from our CDN node in Los Angeles, some 5,400 miles away, I can reach download speeds of 6MB/second without any issues. To clarify, we do not cap our Premium service in any way, shape or form. Bad connectivity can send our data packets via bad cabling, overloaded networks and a myriad of other negative networking issues meaning you get considerably slower download speeds.

Thus, good connectivity ensures our data packets reach your PC in the most efficient, fastest way possible ensuring good download speeds. A bad sat nav does not know any of these things and can potentially take you through horrific traffic conditions, road works, bottlenecks and not make use of the newly built roads meaning it can take you significantly longer to get to your destination. A good sat nav knows when you are travelling, when and where traffic can bottleneck at different times of the day, where any roadworks are, where any newly constructed roads are and will direct you from A to B in the most efficient way possible which will significantly decrease your travel time and increase the speed at which you get to your destination. In layman's terms, the difference between good connectivity and bad connectivity is like the difference between a good sat nav for your car and a bad sat nav. The caveat to this is that while our users in North America, Europe and parts of Asia and Oceania will have good download speeds from our servers, users from other areas of the world can potentially have poorer download speeds especially if their local ISP's infrastructure has bad connectivity to our CDN. This custom-built CDN system is significantly cheaper to own and run for us than any CDN services that are available online. While we average around 25gbps of total traffic (across all our servers) on any given week, the recent Fallout Frontier release proved the servers could handle these theoretical maximums without a sweat as our Chicago server alone managed to briefly hit that 20gbps mark during the initial hours of the mod's release. These servers are kitted out with NVMe drives and each server has 20gbps of connectivity. To help us manage our file serving needs we created our own mini-CDN, of sorts, a few years ago which uses bare-metal servers in 7 different locations around the world Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and Singapore. We don't sell user data or anything of that ilk, so our two revenue streams are straight-up advertising and Premium Memberships.

Free is in quotes because, as you know, there are ads on the site and these generate revenue used for paying for the services we provide. How we store and serve this amount of data on a budget is a challenge we're always tackling as we continue to provide a "free" service to our users.

We are also storing a large amount of data - we’ve just ticked over 40TB of mod files and this is increasing at around 1.5TB per month currently as the number of mods we host increases and the size of the mods authors are making are growing. If you’ve had the (mis)fortune of taking the time to read my year in review post recently then you’ll be aware that we move a fair amount of data to our users - we estimate around 60PB per year - through our download servers. If you're a Premium Member and you think you should be getting faster speeds then please try the "CDN" download location, which now defaults to this new provider. We have recently enabled a new download location for Premium Members that can potentially increase download speeds for any users who might have slower speeds than expected with their Premium Membership.
