VERY slow syncing speed!!!!

Syncing speed is extremely slow, yesterday ive spent like 2 hours to download 74 songs, and ive got 100mbit link at home. Last month it took me 30-40 min to download more that 900+ songs to my phone via same WiFi.

This could be due to a number of reasons, including the fact that your device has to decode all the coded tracks when they are downloaded - mobile processors aren't as powerful as computer processors.

 

It could also be due to the fact that the computer you were downloading from at a high speed is no longer available.

This could also be caused by the fact the desktop client uses p2p technology to download and stream tracks from computers all over the Spotify network, whereas the mobile application always streams or downloads directly from Spotify.

Actually  I DONT CARE from where it downloading, or answers like "prone need to decode", its bull**bleep**!

 

Few days ago ive downloaded with my phone 700 tracks for 30-35 min.

 

Today = 51 track = almost 2 hours.

 

This server and service is a piece of crap. What im paying for?
