i have been downloading the game to try and fix crashing issues following the 2.1 patch. I have been struggling all day, with constant restarts of the download. In the end, i did 3 things, that either together, or maybe just one of them fixed the speed. 1. I activated a vpn connection 2. i disabled my anti-virus(avg free) 3. i disabled windows firewall

I will of course turn on the firewall and AV after the download completes in 5 minutes, but yeah, that seems to have done the trick.
