    How do I improve downloading speed?


    I’m downloading Forza horizon 5 which is 170gb (with add ons) and it’s only downloading at 1.5MB/S. That’s like 20 hours to download. I have found that it does this for updates and downloads for other games as well and I definitely don’t have a low end PC. I want to know if this is a normal downloading speed for Microsoft servers and if there is anything I can do about it. I’ve tried changing my DNS server, resetting my network and pretty much everything I could find and it hasn’t changed a thing.

    :)

    How do I improve downloading speed?

    Hi,

    I'm Tim, an Independent Advisor here and a Microsoft user like you. I don't work for Microsoft and do not have access to any of your data on their system.

    How are you connecting your Xbox to the internet? With an Ethernet lead or wirelessly?

    Kind regards

    Tim

    how to improve download speeds?

    Also will it make a difference that I'm downloading to a USB (the official xbox kind) drive?

    how to improve download speeds?

    As far as improving the time it takes to download a game that is dependent on your ISP. Go to
    http://speedtest.net and see what your dl/up speeds are. As far as the downloading stopping when during another activity, that is something that cant be helped.

    Improve Download Speed

    I have tried that link, and it is showing as it is a registered domain name, but it is not linked to any websites. Try going to
    speedtest.net on your Xbox Console, and let me know your results. When and if the website you gave was working, it may have had a compatibility problem with the Xbox Consoles.

    Improve Download Speed

    Weird, I did not know that Xbox did not support Flash :/

    -

    But I just found out that you can not run a legitimate speed test from the Xbox's Internet Explorer app either. The Xbox's IE app does not have the capability to run as much data as required at a time for a successful test. The speeds shown in the app are
    much slower then your actual speeds.
