Belive the whole infrastructure for install is wrong. Been trying for some four days to install on a new rig
Had god speed untill the fs-base-cgl started to loop. 2,82 Mbit/s and for a brief moment it goes up to 80-90 to again drop back. Strange that this issues users have not yet have been fixed.

This just one thread with simular issues. Since I live in an EU country with strong consumer rights i do belive that those issues that affects users must be adressed. The Zendesk is by me just a big auto respond boot.
What the tips to adress issues with low speeds and corrupted install files is to basicly turn of all pc defens, this cant be right.
MS and Asobo must adress this issues.

This ânetsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=experimentalâ fixed my problem. Went from 3 mbits to 150mbits and did not even require a restart.
What did you have it set to before it was changed to âexperimentalâ?
They are referring to this post
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=experimental
which says it is usually set to ânormalâ.

I was able to use a VPN to change from Eastern US to Midwest and I went from 5 MB/s to 200 Mb/s
On east coast it fluctuated and took hours
Can someone please advise about which VPN to use? Is this (yet) another subscription? Seems weird that I should invest more money for a service that should be working out of the box.
i accidently killed my operating system 3 days ago, reinstalled it and reinstalled msfs 2020. Well, the initial install from steam, 138GB - no problem, fast.
It is NOT possible to fly again with this kind of download speed behavior, i give up!
When i see i have 100 Updates left⌠how long will it take to download it with that kind of speed? - impossible!
This download problem kills the game after a re-install.

Please Asobo/MSFS please this is such a waste of time, 10 mins for the sim to boot, 2GB of updates at like 2mb a second, my internet is fine. This is just such a joke. This was never the case before, it was 70-100MBits in the past what on earth is going on.
I am spending more time downloading updates than flyingâŚDownload Simulator!!! Please sort this out, its no good!
My Xbox shows 650mb inbound yet downlands are max 7mb?
Can a VPN be used via Xbox?
Iâm back to being really slow / looping download again this morning. Trying to download an 1GB update to a single airport. Hope Iâm wrong, but it doesnât bode well for WU16 release next week.
I canât even download WU16 Caribbean at all at the moment. It takes like 30 minutes for the first 100 MB (of 11 GB lol) and then it just getâs stuck.
Ridiculous.

Yep, absolutely nothing has changed regarding downloads (and itâs got nothing to do with servers being slammed as you see the same thing at quiet times) Packages start slow but eventually speed up only for the next package to go back to snails pace before speeding up again. Youâd have thought Microsoft could have fixed this by now
How can they continue with the download speeds (or lack of) like this ?
It has been so now for the last many SUâs and WUâs with no fix.
Iâm really worried what will happen once MSFS 2024 is released.
I´m below 2.00 Mbits/s right now downloading WU XVI !!

I still ahve this to look forward to. Will report back. Itâs been the same since March. 12GB download. These WUâs are geting quite hefty too!
Currently trying to downlaod and itâs cycling a bit from 10MBit/s->0MBit/s->2MBit/sec and back up again. Here we go again slow download deja vu.
EDIT:
Currently getting speeds of about 20MBit/sec max which is 2/3 my broadband speed, but every 00x.part of teh WU goes way back down to 0-2MBPS for what seems like ages. I have 2GB/12GB now downlaoded 1 hr in. I think Iâll have to go do something else tonight. 
Here we go again, another World Update (thanks for that!) and waiting for an eternity to have it downloaded with average 2 Mbits/sâŚ
I really hope for some serious info on the in the developer stream, other than pointing towards improved tech in FS2024âŚ
What makes it especially bad in FS2020 is that the download is running within the game, so you cannot really do much else in that time on the PC.

What, you donât like downloading at only 0.18 percent of your internet bandwidth in 2024? 
Look at it this way: 25 years ago that speed would have been lightning fast! 
EDIT: too be fair, going alright for me, currently:
The top speed on my connection is 100 Mbits/s, so itâs doing fine right now.
EDIT 2:
Well ⌠then again âŚ
