Super slow game downloads

Demi Borgiera · Feb 2, 2015

I've been downloading games to my xbox since xbox starting giving games for free with gold. It's always taken most of a day to download one game, however I was at a friends house and watched him download 3 games in less than half an hour. What am I doing
wrong?

SUPER SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEED!

Hi Guys,

I am having a stupid amount of Xbox LIVE issues at the moment. I quit xbox for about 3 months and I came back to find I can not join XBL game without lagging. Also I have been trying to download GTA 4 now for 2 days. It is taking the p*** and is driving
me insane. I tested my download speed and it is 80MB/s with 30ms Ping. I can download something on my computer that 1gb in about a minute. I just want to know why my XBL connection is so rubbish? I have 4 Bar connection in the test area and open NAT. It's
really ticking me off.

SOME PLEASE TELL ME WHATS GOING ON!

You have to be in the dashboard or not playing any games while you're downloading

Hi there,

the speed for downloading is determined by a few things.

1. Upload speed on the server side. Which should be fine since your friend can download them quickly

2. Your internet connections specifications. If you have a slower internet package, your maximum download speed will be the cause of the 'slowness'. In order to solve this you will need to contact your ISP or even switch ISP. Be aware that faster packages
are probably more expensive

3. Your network hardware, if your network hardware is old, it might be too slow to handle higher speeds.

If you are currently connected wireless, you could try connecting via a cable to see if that helps. Otherwise I do suggest trying to find out what your maximum internet download/upload speed is.

Let us know any results

You can try a few things.. may help.. may not. Hopefully it does.

1. First try running a speed test on your PC/Mac to see if your Internet is acting up.

2. Cancel the download. And try again. (I've done this with other DL's that where going slow and it worked).

3. Cancel the download. Unplug your router/modem and start again.. sometimes a restart of your Internet will boost things.

I am sorry if these don't help. I am not too much of a expert.. but it's only my two cents.

Good luck.

I'd start by clearing the system cache (it's just temporary files plus game updates, automatically reloaded) by:

1) Please do Settings | System Settings | Storage

2) Move over any hard drive or memory unit (not the Cloud) & press (Y) on your controller & pick Clear System Cache.

3) When asked to confirm storage device maintenance, choose Yes.
