    No clue about gaming etc. but house guest is trying to download League of Legends in their own language. My local 'Ookla Speedtest' says my download speed (in the shticks:( ) in c.2.4mbps , they've had the computer on for 10hrs now but have only managed to download 39% of 3.952GB.
    Are there any quicker ways to download the game :confused:

    Try connecting their machine to the router using an Ethernet cable. That seems awfully slow though

    He'd really only see slight improvement in pings unless there is a big distance to the router / thick walls etc etc.

    At those speeds and given he's rural I'd say he's doing pretty well as it is unfortunately :(

    I'm rural and that's slow to me, I get noticeable improvements when I switch to wired in fairness.

    Best bet is a big of patience OP, you won't be able to double your speeds or anything

    I'm only basing it on family who live a distance from towns, they are getting miserable speeds of about 1mb down :(

    Try 300kbs :p Justs to over 500 (:pac:) if I wire it, which is my own personal experience

    Switched to wired, wireless is absolute gash for download speeds and game ping.
