Comment on How do you download your GOG games?

I download my gog games through heroic (desktop mode) and have no problems with download speed. Typically then I add the game to steam through through Heroic.
40gb game in 5hrs? Might want to check your your bases. Reboot/update deck, reboot wifi router/modem. Run speedtests, retry download.
Well I have only rebooted the Deck, but it also happens on my Linux pc’s.
And downloading Playstation games, Steam games, watching Peertube, watching Nba league pass, watching youtube or listening to music on Tidal works fine.
Directly from GOG or through Heroic, I got these really slow download speeds, so ot’s an isolated case.
24mbs is the max you’ll see in a good day, your speed is pretty slow compared to most. Also you probably wouldn’t get the 24mbs downloading through most services.
To give you a comparison, at one point I had gig internet but still would download at only a few hundred mps. Im currently on 700mps and share that connection with a household streaming everything, and have dropped to 50-100mps for a lot of downloads. You could be seeing 1-5 mbs downloads on that connection which is painfully slow.
