Best is not to use hbg and get the stuff else where if you ask me. More updated and less hassle! (I miss the not team)

If there is anything I will agree with you on 100% haha it is this. HBG is a cesspool because of who runs it and how they run it. They never admit to anything and just backtrack or try to throw others under the bus...(RIP not)

The 90DNS issue will affect every switch app that accesses cloud services, not just hbg. You also forget that tinfoil works with a user specified gdrives as well. Some users use their own gdrives for serving their own content. Best to use incognito with default DNS for fastest speeds.

Additionally, no one forces anyone to use hbgshop, hbg distributes raw links to all of their files too.

No need for salt because 90dns has no solution for its problems.

Are you sure the issue isn't tinfoil then? Since I got good speed with 90DNS, then again. I'm in Europe.

I am sure, I verified the issue using a PC.
Just tested using a virtual machine, making sure I go to Nintendo.com to see if it's blocked or not. I get the exact same speeds using Ave's DNS and my normal one, and Googles one. No difference in speeds at all. They're all the same speeds.

So right now, I can't backup your theory.

I know it's probably been verified on here a few times, but I can definitely confirm that when I use 90dns, I get 2.4Mbps download speed. If I use my default DNS server and restart the switch, I get at least 10 Mbps download speed. I really don't understand how a DNS server can affect download speeds, but it seems to be the case.

Since many updates and games not loading with hbg is there another way of downloading reliably to PC? I am fed up with solving captchas and going through several different threads on that dark site.

Any hint to a better, more convenient solution is highly appreciated.

Get a 1fichier premium account, well worth the 20 bucks or so.

So you're the person on the dark site that does nothing but complain like an infant.

I second this. Easy and fast.
I wonder if another channels for other systems exists in the same WaY?
Hbg discord does the job. I have several hosted accounts (SO, 1fichier...), but clicking through the captchas at dark websites is annoying as hell.

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
