Hi,

Is it just me or is FlightSim.com very slow when it comes to downloads?

In the past 3 months, my Internet connection speed has gone from 56k to 512k to 1mb and it is now currently on 1.5mb. However, whereas I'm getting almost 200kb/sec on most download websites, I'm lucky to get 10kb/sec on FlightSim.com

I take it everyone has this problem?

LOL... I know what you mean. I only even attempt to access FlightSim.com in the afternoon. Any time after 5.00pm and there is no chance of getting onto it.

I am a regular user of Avsim.com as well - faster downloads and guaranteed access.

when logging onto flightsim.com press the button to login once your details are entered and wait til it gets to the "nodes busy" page. Then press Ctrl + F5 until it logs you in (youll need to keep an eye on the page)
