Maplestory downloading slower than a snail moves

I'm currently on a desktop PC with 206 GB of space (a hella lot more than MS needs),while I'm downloading it I make sure none of my programs are open that take up alot of bandwidth/space on the processor and it's downloading at about 150 KBps, which is about 2% every ten minutes @_@ is there anything i can do to speed the download up? (My internet is cable) (And when I start/resume the download it starts at about 600 KBps, then goes down to 150 after T_T)

What's your actual internet speed provided by your ISP? I'm downloading MS from the link I had provided although it rather inconsistent, I'm downloading it at 1.5~2.5MBps.

@raystarImao: Luckyyyy T_T
@demonicrack: @kloana: Yeah, I never thought of that -_-" Good Idea.
@iiHasnolife: Yep, I've figured that out from previous comments
@Whatisausername: @Ecyz: I quote them so they know that I've read their comment and I give a response to it, It's good to know that someone actually reads a comment/replies (Or at least that's how I feel)
@xgaulsmanx: Bleh, my downloading speed is only 150-250 kbps T_T It keeps going up.... then back down -_-

Try running a scan on your comp first.
There could be malware or whatever that can slowdown your DL o.o

@qwan456: Oh, okay thans for telling/explaining the peer-to-peer thing cause I never really understood it , I think downloading directly might be the same pace as the PMB download cause the speed is..... slower than a snail moves...
@Mechace117: Can you possibly give any mirror links cause there's no more on the official site and I don't want to get a virus
@DLiu456: F3.

A snail can be moving at a fast speed when someone throws it really well.

Downloading from the mirror sites is rather faster for me.. But then again it might be different depending on how well your comp can process the data and info, same goes for internet speed (mine is 19 mbps)

Yeah, you computer shouldn't have an affect on your download speed. That has to do with your internet connection. PMB function like a peer-to-peer application like torrents, where you connect to those who has downloaded MS using PMB as well and download it off of their computers. The speed will varied depending how many people you are connected to as well as their upload speed, so even if you have a fast download speed, you may not be able take full advantage of it.

If you want to download it directly from Nexon's download server, which most likely will have a more consistent speed, go here: http://download3.nexon.net/maplestory/fullversion/MSSetupv116.exe

As to how I got the link: http://maplestory.nexon.net/Support/Downloads.aspx
Right click on the Manual Patch download link and copy the link location. Grab only the link and replaced the [b]ManualPatcher[/b]v116.exe to [b]MSSetup[/b]v116.exe.

I think http://download2.nexon.net/Game/MapleStory/FullVersion/Downloader/MSSetupv116.exe is the direct link

Snails actually move faster than you'd think.
