Slow download speeds? Please use our Download Speed Diagnoser
We're continuing to work on the download setup within the CDN as we continue to learn all the little intricacies involved in such a complex setup but we're struggling to troubleshoot a lot of people's download speed issues, a lot of the time, because we're not getting the right sort of feedback. For example, simply saying "I'm getting bad download speeds" isn't useful at all for us!
As such, we've coded a small piece of stand-alone software which we've dubbed the Nexus Download Diagnoser. It's a very simple piece of software that will run a download speed test against our CDN server and generate a report for you to post for us to see which will provide us with a lot of information. Hopefully useful information that will help us to understand what is happening and why your download speeds are slow. You do not need to install the software in order to run it and you can download it here. Remember, only download it from a nexusmods.com domain, never from anywhere else.
In the interests of security and privacy we've kept things very simple for you. The Nexus Download Diagnoser will obviously need to be able to connect to the internet so it can run the download speed test (so update your firewall as necessary) but it will not send or report any information automatically to us. If you want to share the information, you'll have to willingly post it to us, and you can see all the information in the report so you know exactly what you're sending us. On top of that we've signed the software with our "Black Tree Gaming Ltd." key, just like NMM, so you know the software is legitimately from us and not from someone malicious and we're releasing the source code of the software with the executable just for your own peace of mind. If you really really don't trust us for whatever reason, you can check the source code yourself!
Hopefully with enough reports we will be able to form a decent picture of what's going on and work towards sorting it out.

The program isn't testing the proper file size. Not sure what to do about that but I'm getting about 80 KB/s when downloading a mod when I should be able to get at least half a MB/s.
Where can I report the issue since the thread in the forum is already locked.

I can download like 10kb/s and im a Premium Member! When i start an download on other sides i get 1mb/s! Is there anything what i can do about that??
Here the results from the speedtest:
Ping 28 ms
Download 25.64 Mbps
Upload 1.04 Mbps
Vodafone
I should get 1MB/s if I understand right.
So there is any way to fix this or have we to wait ?
Since I don't know how to add pics to a reply I added an imgur link of my speedtest and my Nexus download speed.

but other then that i do think this place is cool. " but " i don't think they should capped your speed they should it least give more speed then 1mbps it should be more like 20mbps to 40mbps. of course i have way higher speed then this, not to boast but i have a download speed of 330Mbps and upload speed of 60.
??? I've tried using it with NMM open. NMM closed. No internet tabs open. Nothing is working. I would really like to have my problem diagnosed, as of right now its only downloading at 31 kb
