Hello TL, I really need some help with this,
Ever since I got Starcraft 2, whenever I've had to download any new maps after a patch, or just some custom maps that aren't on ladder, they download ridiculously slowly. It's so bad that 2MB files I have to just keep trying to download for about 2 hours. Often when downloading maps, it just stops and I can't join any new games or anything without restarting SC2.
I have a pretty awful internet connection to begin with, however I really don't think that downloading a 2MB file should take 2 hours  . I never get any lag in game and my ping etc. is fine, it's just when I want to download any maps (come to think of it, even downloading patches takes extremely long too) that I have any problems.
From what I can see there are no problems with SC2 and firewall, although I'm pretty bad with computers so I have no idea.
Thanks in advance!

I had this same problem. I finally got rid of it by changing my firewall settings. I allowed all traffic to and from certain ports (found these ports from the EU Bnet forum by searching, but I guess the information is somewhere else too) that the game uses. In addition I made it so that the firewall won't monitor anything Starcraft 2 does at all.
|
Tried making sure the ports are all allowed and the problem is still there :S. I really don't know what I can do.

I have the same problem as you Crowels. Every download is slow. And I have a pretty decent speed on my internet connection. Some maps just wont download. They get stuck and I have to restart my sc2.
The problem is not related to router, firewall, antivirus or anything like that. And I can say that with 100% certainty as I used to work with networking for an ISP back in the day, so I should know. And its not related to a certain pc either, so not any hardware issues, like network adapter related.
From searching the web and looking through various posts on blizzard and other forums it seems to be a pretty common problem, and blizzard blames local internet issues or isp, or corrupt files. I have not found anyone with a solution. I have also talked to my ISP, and they dont block any of the traffic. I have friends with the same ISP with no problems what so ever.
This is pretty sad. Can't play testbug among other maps. Not to mention the frustration after a patch with new maps on it. Takes a while xP Just learn to live with it. Honestly I dont think this tread will get any working solutions, but one can prey ^^

why doesnt some1 just upload the maps as a zip and we can manually extract them into the sc2 maps folder?
|
It sounds like a router problem to me.
|
if anyone has a good answer to this id love it, happens on one of my pc's but not the other, makes no sense!
|
Even with reinstalling it still hasn't fixed itself, I'm clueless about what I can do T_T. Anybody know what I could actually do to try to fix this?
|
I have the same problem, anyone know a fix?
