Xbox 360 download speed very slow

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!!!

Hey radink360!

Have you tried to connect the cable internet in the Xbox without a router?

For a faster download you should now how the xbox live network works.

It delivers the content (downloads) over akami Servers. Your DNS Server is responisble wher you connect.

I would try to use an alternate DNS Server for your xbox.

The best would be openDNS or google DNS. If open DNS has Servers in your country I would use them instead of google. You can set it in Network Settings for your xbox so only your xbox uses the new DNS Servers.

Since I changed to open DNS all things on my xbox one are much faster - also the Dahboard (I don't know why....)
