It seems to just not be telling you all the steps it’s taking.
On steam it might take me 5-10 minutes to download a 5mb patch to path of exile but that’s just because of the other steps not the download itself.
That’s with a 100up 100down internet. (can get up to 16mb/s download at its prime)
Mine is still significantly slower than it should be. With my speed, it should have downloaded the patch in sub 20 minutes, and I’m at 30 minutes with still 25% to go. Not kb slow, but slow none the less.
I thought I was the only one with this problem ;-; now I know others like me are suffering because they have a good internet but their download speed is dropping like flies
