Hey guys ,

because of nostalgia i thought i'd start playing yu-gi-oh duelist of the roses again.

i downloaded a emulator and now all i need is the game iso.

i found multiple iso from the different sites , the file is 850 MB.

However for some reason when i try to download it , the time needed to download it is arround 10-20 hours...

I've tested my downloading speed and there's nothing with that , its 120 mbps but for some reason the download is hella slow.

Any one has any solution? , i am using a wired connection.

Just because you have a fast connection doesn't mean the host has a fast connection. You're limited by the slowest factor, which is more than likely the host with your current speed.

But i've tried multiple hosts but every one takes the same amount of time .

I've downloaded the iso before a long time ago and deleted everything related but i remember that it took probably like 5m to download.

As a test I was downloading the file at a steady 4.4Mb/s so I don't think it is the host.

Try to download it from another browser or try a download manager like IDM which can increase speeds by quite a bit.

ISO's have always taken me a while to download too, and my internet is decently fast. just try different websites some will be quicker than others
