Hey everyone
I have purchased some adventure modules for D&D 5E and started to run the updater and every time I do that, I know I'm about to enter a world of pain. To download 3 adventure modules today it took me over 2 hours.
The thing is, I'm at a 60Mbps download connection, wired, and I connect seamlessly to everything on the internet, except to the module downloads in Fantasy Grounds (to be fair, Syrinscape audio pools also take a loooong time to download).
One interesting thing that happened today was that for most of the files in the modules it would follow the same pattern: Start reeeeeeally slow (about 10 minutes until timing out) until it times out and say it is attempting to reconnect in 10 secs. After reconnecting, module download would speed up and finish really quickly.
PS: Found a workaround. Whenever it starts struggling with a download, if I cancel the update, do not leave the update window and click the update button, it moves quickly to where it stopped and downloads are blazing fast. Then I let it run until it start struggling again, do the same and things move fast again.

Can this be an issue between my PC and server #1 (I don't know how to call it)?
I'm available to run any tests you want me to to help diagnose what could be happening, just let me know.
Thank you everyone for your help, FG is an amazing software and I want to be able to download more modules faster (and consequently throw my money at you!) :D
