Install taking longer with each version. Normal? Can it be sped up somehow?

[rustyJunk]

I've been using Aslains for a month or two and noticed that the process of installing the package took longer with each patch, to the point of taking what feels like 10x as long as the initial install.  (not that nothing else on the computer feels slower, only the Aslains install process)

 

Is this normal?  Is there a way to return it to its initial speed?

mine keeps saying download failed/error

Depends at which moment it's being slowed down.

Mainly it is the installation step, after having selected all the options.

Show me it on screenshot, there is many steps. It's probably durring the downloading of some mods right? I'm curious which ones, because I have moved all files that are over 200MB to a slow server, to reduce the stress on the main server with smaller files. Maybe this is where you may encounter a slower download.

will do, and will time it to get precise measurements.  Probably tonight when I have some free time.

The very long portions are "extracting" and "finalizing"

 

(note, looks like I messed up one of the screenshots)

ok it's normal thing then, you are installing a clan icons mod, that contains hundreds of thousands of small files, unpacking such a 7z file takes a long time. 

[rustyJunk]

Is it possible to get just the clan name instead of the icons perhaps?  Worst case I'll just disable the clan icons, as I don't really rely much on them.

[Aslain]

Clan names are already there, take a look at various panels from XVM.

Cool beans.  Bye bye icons :)
