Hi, I have to reinstall SD3 and all SDX-S. I’m amazed that the download speed is only 2-3 MB/s!? I have very fast connection and other downloads (other sites) are much faster. So, it’s not the computer or my internet connection. How can I improve the speed? It can’t be that I need almost a week for all packages!

There’s nothing you can really do to get more speed on the download. A lot depends on the server load as well as what else you may have running that’s using the internet.

Actually there IS something you can do and that is to save off EVERY download to a separate hard drive. That way when you want or need to reload anything you have it at hand. Makes for good insurance. I have a separate drive that has all my downloads for the last decade or so. You only need to run the Product Manager to do any updates and those are small.

I also do a clone every week of my whole system to separate drives – one for the system, one for sample content and one for daw sessions. That way if something dire happens I can get back working with little sweat.

In Google I saw that Toontrack always had this problem. For years, the same answer is always written, but no good solution is offered. A real shame!

Like I said there’s nothing that can be done – sometimes downloads can crawl and sometimes they’ll be super-speedy.

ToonTrack is not the issue here. It has more to do with your Internet route from your ISP to the assigned AWS servers. It’s only as fast as the slowest router along that route. I have a 50MB/s download connection here.

You might have better luck reconnecting.
