80-160 Mbit/s for me…
But I hope I didn’t screw mine up. I unplugged my usb controller and the #$@# game crashed. Seems to have restarted ok. When are they going to fix removing usb devices from crashing this game. I got like 5+ flight control devices I need to move them around.
ah okay… that’s ■■■■■■ indeed…
Same issue here guys, it will download X amount, then it will drop to 1Mbps, then it will delete what it has downloaded and start again.
Trying a VPN now. This is a tad silly.
Good luck - I finally finished with the VPN. I use PIA and connected to Berlin.
That’s why I can’t get more than 20Mbit/s residing in EU kappa 
Perhaps wait a couple of hours to bypass the initial tens of thousands of downloaders …
Perhaps download tomorrow …
But I suppose peoples lives are depending on having a game a couple of hours faster …
Crazy world
I’m sorry!!! (I am done now, so it’s not me anymore!!!)

Let them know, we know that the forum staff don’t have a contact with Asobo/MS (or so they tell me!)
Using nordvpn (connected to US, I am in UK) and am now getting 250mps so it’s fixed it, annoying i’ve had to pay for it though!
I don’t think optional updates would work with software that requires to be online all the time. The updates aren’t just on the user end, I’m sure there need to be updates to the main servers too, to account for the changes in the main program.
I think a lot of people oversimplify updates like this, both from a software perspective and from an online infrastructure standpoint. There are a huge amount of things happening behind the scenes to get updates like this to you.
Maybe take a deep breath and step away from the computer for a bit if this is causing you such anger. The update will eventually get to you, don’t worry. If the worst part of your day is waiting a few hours for an update to download then you’re doing pretty good in life 
Still high GPU usage in the menu. smh
isnt it because so much downloading the update at the same time? Because i feel the Downloadspeed is much better than in other programms
Same file, same issue. First time I’ve ever had an issue downloading updates. Currently hovering around 1mbit on an 80mbit line but earlier files were coming down at over 60mbit.
Guess servers are getting hammered
I definitely second that. Right now it is not possible to use a bluetooth mouse or keyboard because when the devices go to sleep, the sim freezes. So annoying. I did send in a Zendesk ticket and I guess a lot of other people have done the same, but I don’t think that Asobo has acknowledged the problem as of yet.
Right now my dl speed is around 0.55 - 1.0 Mbits/s. I think I have to try again tomorrow when the first rush has settled. Does anyone know if it’s safe to press pause and resume the download at a later time?
LOL that’s funny - I’m in the US and had to connect to Berlin to get 150Mbit/sec.
I restarted FS 4 times (Pause, close restart). That is why it shows only 15.39 GiB, but when starting it was 23.38 GiB
For 
it starts fast
but after 2 or 3% it goes slow!
Strange huh! Mine is done now 
Previously i have had it download at close to my max download speed and this update will take longer than it did for me to download the entire sim on release day. it shouldn’t take a day to download around 30gb’s for an update. Of course amount of traffic is a problem have now dropped to less than 1mb myself will take around 30 hours at that speed.
