[Question] Why have downloads become very slow recently? #166

So starting in the past few weeks, I've noticed that average download times have become much longer. Maybe around 4 times as long. Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea on the cause?

I thought it might be my wifi connection, so I tried another computer on ethernet. It made no difference.

It may due to your connected Hentai@Home server is not as fast as usual, or if you keeps the downloading tab on the background, some browsers like Chrome may optimize it to reduce power consumption, which makes the script run much slower.

At this time, you can try keeping the downloading tab on the foreground, if the download time is become usual, it may due to your browser's optimization. If the download speed is just slow or no speed, it's the server side problem.

I tried another download for the first time in a about week. It appears downloads are back to their previous much faster speed. My guess it was some kind of server issue. Whether the tab was in the foreground or not never seemed to have effect on download speed.
