Can't re-download MSFS2020. No bandwidth at all

Following on from the disappointing degradation of 2024 performance, I am trying to re-downloading 2020, but there is no bandwidth at all. Network hovering around 30Kbps /s.
So now neither sim works.

Stay on it. I had the same, all of a sudden it started going faster.

I been tracking down an issue I’ve had here recently and over the past few days I’ve re-installed MSFS2020 3 times. Never had speeds as slow as that. Longest download was around 11 hrs for approx 135GB. Perhaps leave it for a bit and try again.

Yea just leave it running. Stopping and reinstalling can only cause a corrupted install.

Sorted now thanks. I forgot how great 20220 was. so much clearer.

Loved the new one until I found how much better the ex who moved out was.
Now about the sim…

So do you mind telling us how you sorted it out?
I’m installing now my MSFS2020 but all I get is 5 to 8 Mbits/sec though my connection is fibre 300 Mbits/sec and waiting does not help, no acceleration. There is now way I can get the sim installed at that speed it gives me now.

I didn’t do anything. The signal improved and it downloaded. Vagaries of the internet I guess. Not had any connection problems since.
