Tried restarting the sim, the PC, the router, everythingā¦ even tried several VPN providers. I just donāt get it, every single update this happens

Itāll soon be a year of this going on. Majority of downloads outside of sim are fine. Even the initial update of FS tonight was acceptable. Itās the CM that always has these speed cycling issues with large multi part downloads making it more painful.

I have to honest here. I had some hope when a fix was put into place. But now I am back to my previous feeling that Martialās reaction to this issue was far, far too meager for such a big annoyanceā¦ āWe are looking into it, we need a good repro.ā No! Of course not. These things need to be monitored in real time. And direct action is needed to keep all the critical sensors in the green. Thatās the service a gaming-as-a-service provider needs to guarantee to itās customers.
So MS needs to solve this, NOW!

Hello @GhostlyFrend,
We are tracking download speeds of WU16 very closely, both in terms of our network/server performance metrics and anecdotal reports from players on these forums and other social platforms. So far, weāve only seen a small number of isolated reports (about ~10 people total as of this writing) mentioning slow downloads of WU16, with an equal or greater number of commenters mentioning that the install went smoothly and download speeds are normal.
We will continue to monitor this closely, but at least so far the download issue that affected the initial launches of SU13 and SU14 does not appear to be re-occurring for WU16.
Thanks,
MSFS Team

About 90mins in & onto fspackage-007-part and its still cycling between 2-4MBPS (for what seems like far too long on the start of each part) and 20MBPS (tops for me out of 30MBPS) when it eventually speeds up. Now 5GB/12GB downloaded. Forecasting a 3 1/2 - 4 hr download at this progress, and this isnāt the worst or slowest that itās ever been. Itās not disappearing completely this time and so far no resets back to zero.
EDIT : fspackage-007 has been stuck on like 3-4MBPS for what seems like 20 full minutes now.

Hello @MintRobin607848,
Iām reading all the posts on the forum, in multiple different threads. Itās not affecting everybody. With the SU13 and SU14 launches, the forums blew up with literally thousands of posts about download/install issues. So far with WU16, itās only been a relatively small number of people mentioning download speeds.
Thanks,

Slow Download speed here in Denmark. So far it has taken 2 hours to Download 8GB of the 12 GB world update. Same pattern as usual. Every package starts real slow and at some point it goes to full download speed. Next package starts slow againā¦

Also downloading from Denmark.
I simply donĀ“t believe itĀ“s only 10% with this issue - itĀ“s just a bad excuse.
Why is MSFS Content Manager and Marketplace (in-sim) the only application that has these low download speeds ?
I have Steam, DCS standalone as well as downloading apps and MSFS content from a host of developers with no download issues at all.

Hello,
Downloading from France, topping at 5mbits/s on a 8Gbps fiber connection.
No problem on steam or other platform.
So no, thatās not 10 reports. Only people donāt create account to complain knowing thereās no action taken by microsoft/Asobo regarding this.

Mine just finished after pretty exactly 2 hours, which should normally take 6 minutes with my connection.

fspackage.007 has now been sitting at 3-4MBit/sec speed for itās whole duration now (30mins) it hasnāt as yet picked up speed. 5.47GB / 11.98GB downloaded 2 hrs in. This is becoming an all evening download for me here in UK. By calculation it should be a 53minute download at 30MBPS, an hour tops.
ā¦and just this minute and 007 part completed and now onto POI-1.0.2 and back up to 20MBPS again. Weird changing speeds, Iāve changed nothing.

Iām UK too, on Virgin Media 1Gb. I doubt very much that itās ISP specific though.

Well, every download has been cumbersome lately. From 100 mbit to 2 mbit every couple of seconds. I know one thing: If they donāt fix it for good, i wonāt be getting fs2024. I canāt imagine downloading that monster of a download with the current issues. 10 people with issues? My a.. .Most people never comment on anything, they just suffer. I am absolutely no IT expert but it feels like a mega IT company is hogging the line. Flooding the web with tons of data allowing us only a brief window for our own data. Probably entirely naive and stupid of me but thatās what it feels like at least.

Interestingly now Iām past the large POI download (and all its smaller part downloads) and Iām on to airports and bush trips, itās picked back up to a more consistent 20MBits/sec with none of the noticable slowdowns.

Folks,
For clarification, I didnāt say that only 10 people total were experiencing slow downloads with WU16. I said that we had only seen about 10 comments about slow WU16 downloads at the time I wrote that post, which was an accurate statement at that moment. By contrast, with the SU13 and SU14 releases, there were literally hundreds of people commenting about slow download and stuck install issues after an equal amount of time following the launch of those updates.
As always, we are tracking download/install issues very closely, both in terms of anecdotal reports from players on these forums and other social platforms plus our internal server/network monitoring tools.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
