    Download speed shown in queue not accurate


    Just got an Xbox Series S and I'm downloading my games. In the game queue screen it shows download speed of 450ish Mbps. By this it should take less than 1.5 mins to download the a game that's 31.48 GB. However it's estimated at 7 minutes. This would only be 75 Mbps.

    The next game did the same thing. The queue screen where you monitor the download shows a good speed but the actual performance is significantly less. Why?

    :)

    450Mbps (Megabits per second) is not 450MB (Megabytes per second)

    the download rate is correct.

    450Mbps is 56.25MBps and your 31.8GB (1024 Megabytes in a Gigabyte) game will take approx. 9 minutes to download.

    Hi L Black1,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    The details you see in My games & apps > Manage > Queue is intended as a guide only, not an actual representation of download time. Bandwidth will be constrained and download time will increase during activities such as streaming content, playing games, or game streaming from your Xbox to a Windows device. Please see this page for more details: Troubleshoot slow game or app downloads | Xbox Support.

    Hope this helps.

    Sincerely,

    Marrion

    Kind regards,

    Marrion

    It just the counter off. A misreading by the Xbox is all.

    Hi,

    I think you may have got your 'Megabits' and your 'Megabytes' mixed up, easy enough to do. Xbox One shows download speed in Megabits, (Mb/s) not Megabytes (MB/s)

    At 30 Mb/s it would take about 1 minute 30 seconds to download 300 Megabytes. And a 5GB download would take about 25 minutes.
