My download speed is suddenly very slow.

I am trying to download the modern warfare update... I am running on download speeds below 500 kbps. I usually download stuff at 100 to 250 mbps. help

What do I do to fix this. I tried clearing my mac address, resetting my router, hard rebooting my xbox, changing my dns settings, and unplugging my internet router.

Nothing to do. We are being throttled by all servers right now. Best thing to do is try to download overnight, early morning. All servers are doing this. Hang in there and expect 5mb/s downloads from the servers. If you time out, then try again later.
Try also using a different point to start and manage the download like your phone Gamepass app.

Well, just to update on the situation. I disconnected my xbox from the internet, waited 5 minutes, reconnected, and I was suddenly getting speeds of around 50-60Mbps again, so the speeds where very high.

It got me to 88% in no time, and then slowed right down again, so disconnected, reconnected and the download was finished within a minute.

This did not work my download speeds are still very slow and it made no difference whatsoever

I have this too, I'm downloading GTA San Andreas an I'm at 16% in 3 hours I think it's because I'm downloading it to a hard drive. But when I try to change the storage unit it won't work.

King John I noticed similar speed issues today when downloading some of the newier DLC for Borderlands 2 (Psycho Bandit, Compatibility Pack & Assault on Dragon Keep). I have a 50Mbp/s down & 5Mbp/s up connection & a TP-Link Gigabit router with LAN connections
to my PC as well as XBOX360. All ports are opened properly, I have my Xbox360 in the DMZ & no other downloads/uploads taking place. I did separate tests on my PC & XBOX360 from the site
http://SpeedOf.Me as that does speed test through HTML5 so you can use it on the XBOX360 IE verison. My PC speed results were 56.9Mb/s (d/l) & 5.38Mb/s (u/l) now my XBOX360 speed results were 1.45Mb/s (d/l) &
3.18Mb/s(u/l). I tested my XBOX360 results again & they were 1.51Mb/s (d/l) & 3.21Mb/s (u/l). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE as I know I was getting better speeds on LIVE when I had my 15Mbp/s (d/l) & 1.5Mbp/s (u/l) though I never knew about the SpeedOf.Me
site to do testing prior to upgrading. How I know though is my friend had a 50Mbp/s connection with Comcast & when we would d/l DLC I would always d/l faster than him. Hope this helps & MICROSOFT PLEASE FIX THIS AS ITS HORRIBLE PAYING FOR A GOLD MEMBERSHIP
BUT BEING SEVERELY RESTRICTED ON BANDWIDTH THROUGH LIVE!!!
