Is that for both appimage and Flatpak? I wonder what the bottleneck could be.hiran wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 7:54 pmI noticed that expansion downloads are noticeably faster in OoliteStarter than in the builtin expansion manager. Not sure why so - that is likely an internal bottleneck in Oolite.
Good for measuring is the 130 MB expansion "Lave is Earth" https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Lave_is_Earth_8k
I tested OoliteStarter vs Flatpak and strongly believe it is not the packaging.mcarans wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 8:34 pmIs that for both appimage and Flatpak?

Just to make the check complete, would you like to download https://github.com/OoliteProject/OoliteStarter and install the same expansion from there?Lone_Wolf wrote: ↑Sat Feb 21, 2026 9:21 pmDownloading https://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/6/ ... urcesA.oxz (85 MiB) takes less then 5 seconds on my connection .
Using the install option from within the game that same oxz takes a few minutes .
My impression is that the network code used for downloading in the oolite sourcecode is very slow or has to pass through several very slow intermediaries ?
