yeah, wifi is a strange animal – technically each “sub-channel” has a maximum speed and they simply multiplex many subchannels to get to the total throughput. then depending on your hardware, many times a single CPU core is allocated to the network transmissions and on home users, the IO to the disk is a single NUMA channel. Ethernet on the other hand , is also limited to roughly 50% (on a single connection) but there is no arbitrary multiplexing going on so it tends to be more consistent in throughput. and some hardware can directly use DMA hardware on the Ethernet (whereas wifi  boards have a different routing — more like USB internally). some devices can use multiple CPU cores (even if only a single NUMA is available) to process the network communications which if your IO and disks are fast enough will significantly improve performance and perception.

in general a modern computer (say last 5 years) should be more than fast enough in networking — but at the end of the day – you’re still limited by your neighborhood network and WAN + internet routing restrictions and service quotas…

many (many) companies use bandwidth quotas to “spread the love” as storage and download (traffic) costs can be very high. direct, Amazon, distributed cache etc all have different abilities and price tags for a company. so it’s not too surprising the download speeds are consistently lower than people might like. i have 1.2GB connection to my home router and 50GB local network backbone speeds. and many (did i mention many?) sites where i download products (NI i’m looking at you!) have quotas which reduce downloads to dial-up modem speeds or at most 1-2mbs (=100-200Kbs)

so. i just get on with other activities while downloading things, stress kills. fwiw — companies providing these downloadable products would probably save money by simply mailing you a DVD LOL.

so when you try to reinstall EZB, it tries to use your L drive or your C drive? my understanding (because i’ve always installed in my content drive from the start) is, if you move the C drive content to (say) your L drive, then starting EZB will ask where the content is. presumably the re-install will fix the program issues, and if you have existing content in L, then make sure to remove the C drive (if it goes there) content to force the change of path. yes, not pretty but easy enough imho. https://www.toontrack.com/manual/ezbass/9/#9-7-the-ezbass-content-on-your-file-system

just point the content path to your existing content rather than the default. for relocating the content (and checking) see this FAQ for moving libraries for all product:
https://www.toontrack.com/faq/how-do-i-move-my-sound-libraries-expansions-to-an-external-drive/

on my system some app i use their content location settings, and others i use directory junction for mapping to allow me to put all the content on a “content” drive.
