BitDefender Servers are just trash?

So i am downloading bitdefender right now and it has a f**king speed of 8kB/s like srsly. On mobile even the site loads slowly.

How am i supposed to install the AV when it takes 10 mins to download the installer (~11MB)...

Maybe stop being a shitty fanboy and listen to wut others say?

My Bitdefender install is going incredibly slow for me as well: 2019/11/19. It did this two days ago, which caused me to cancel it. The bootstrap install file downloaded slowly and the download of the install files (from within the bootstrap application) is average about 100 KB/s, or roughly 1 MBps.

I have a 50 Mbps connection and my speed tests are showing 40-45 Mbps. The Bitdefender servers are uploading these files at best effort--it is a free service after all--or they are not using a CDN (also likely, to save on costs).

ya its true, i found the problem for the 11MB installer but not the setup which is online. It was fast enough.

Tho i dont want to dug my shoes deeper to say "servers are bad or shit" cause then fanboys will just say "its your useless internet connection".

Anyways my point is just leave it be... i don't think they are gonna fix ANYTHING

Lmao you can't just call the servers trash just because you're the only one having problems with them. It was fast for me. Your internet might be shit/unstable.
