Peacock Not fixed yet

Might download half, the other half still take forever and fail.

for me, when the dl speed stabilises at KB/s, I know SF hit a bad server, just cancel the download and wait a minute or two, restart the download, do that until you get speed in MB/s, if your line allows that... works for me every single time

Thanks for the reply....it's just my friendly reminder that they still haven't fixed it. It's not a bad server, it's the program allowing an episode to start playing. When it does, it stops the download process. You don't even need to wait...just stop the episode and downloads start again....until it starts playing another one. Once upon a time ago, it worked. Some day, it might again.

I only had the "tarpitted" server problem, and I've been pulling a lot of stuff from PCCK recently... Not sure how they'd replicate your problem to solve it...

Peacock is failing. It downloads very slowly at first (kbp/s), and then it fails when the mixing starts. If you cancel and restart, it may download correctly, but you must watch it. I tried a series, and 20 out of 25 failed if I didn't sit there and watch it.

As a lot of you know, Peacock is the only streamer I currently use with StreamFab, and I use it daily. All the other shows/movies I get via torrenting. I extremely rarely have any problems with Peacock. In fact, it is probably going at near the fastest I've ever seen it. The Audio download (1% to 50%) is at approximately 3.0 MB/s and the Video download (50% to 100%) is at approximately 25.0 MB/s. The 25.0 beats out most of my torrent downloads. I have no complaints with Peacock, right now.
If you want help, attach your streamfab.log.

I am getting the same slow speeds as above - 5-6KB/s from Peacock downloads and stopping restarting has no effect. Will try to send a log later today.

Plenty of logs have already been posted in other threads. It also worked for me 100% of the time and fast once upon a time ago. I also get most from torrenting, but a few shows don't get grabbed occasionally.

Yes...sadly, babysitting the queue is the only solution so far. If it starts out extremely slow, cancel it because it will fail at the end processing. If it starts out downloading Audio and skips Video, same thing...stop it. If you are lucky, you can wait a few minutes and retry. Most of the time, I've had to empty the queue and add them back in to get it moving again.
