![]() It appears their calculation is off by the same factor (bit vs byte). Note: The Epic Games download speed indicator is incorrectly calculating current downloads. The difference in calculation of bit vs byte will mean you either use 100% of your internet bandwidth during on peak or you use a little over 10% of it If you are running a regular NBN connection in Australia, we could assume your average download speed during on peak times is 20Mbs and 40Mbs during off peak times. In Australia (not sure about other countries) internet bandwidth is gauged in Mb/s (Megabits per second)ġ bit = 1 unit of data (A.K.A a binary = 1 or 0)Ī lot of people assume (due to not understanding the above difference) the Epic Game launcher uses the same download speed abbreviation as their ISPs - so when typing 2500 into the throttling textbox, they assuming this is limiting their connection to 2.5 Mb/s But in actual fact if you set the limit to 2500 KB/s, you are limiting the speed to 20 Mb/s (20 Megabits per second) When throttling downloads, it is calculated in KB/s (Kilobyte per second) and not in kb/s (kilobits per second) - upper case vs lower case. I've seen many posts (some recent and some from years ago) about people having issues throttling downloads in Epic Games launcher - so thought I would offer the solution
