Download stops, loops then package failed

When trying to install ORBX Oslo Gardermoen, I encounter a problem where it downloads extremely slow, then stops at 77mbs and goes back to 0b, then just loops indefinetely until it finally says “package failed”. This is the only addon I have had trouble installing. Any tips? I bought it from the marketplace.

Actually, this happens to almost every download. Not just ORBX Oslo Gardermoen.

Yep, something is up with the server I think. Downloads have been doing this for me for the last 24 hours on and off and there’s nothing wrong on my end.

Ah that’s so annoying… I hope they fix it soon…

I’m downloading the Premium Deluxe upgrade right now
and it is so slow.

xx Kbps for 3 GB download.

It will take a long time.

Yes, this has been happening to many of us. We’ve been dealing with the 2Mbps<->200MBps cycle issue for many weeks without solution and now it’s gotten even worse by cycling back to 0MB over and over for each package. No answer from ZenDesk, no planned CoA from MS.

Sooner or later we will be forced to assume that something as simple as properly downloading data appears to be beyond the grasp of Microsoft’s vaunted Cloud infrastructure.

I am brand new to msfs and got it for black friday. I just installed this and cant download top gun or any packages like London etc. I never make it to the end of any download and some are really small Just keeps going over same file over and over again. Anyone find a solution for this yet or is this normal to wait forever for content manager to update?
