    Xbox One Downloading Games Much Slower Than Network Speed


    Hi,

    Just wondering if anybody had any experience where your console downloads much slower than the network speed?

    I've tested my wired connection on my xbox and its download speed is 62Mbps and I've been downloading the Elder Scrolls Online (55GB) for 5 hours now but its only got to 21% even though at my network speed it
    should only take 2-3 hours to download. I've tried resetting my xbox and router but there's no improvement.

    Anyone know of any fixes as this is a complete joke at the minute

    :)

  2. Xbox not receiving high download speeds

    Your xbox will have slow downloading speeds if someone is streaming something on the same network. Make sure no-one is watching Netflix or something and your speeds will be much faster.

    You will never get your max network speed 65mb download speed isnt tbat bad

    Internet spedd is theoritical and based on top speed rather actual daily speeds

    And you gotta Remember there is alot of gateways between you and xbox live and any download servers

    Xbox live uses content delivery networks to distribute downloads and updates.

    What country are you in?

    There is currently a problem with some of the CDN servers in the UK that give pathetic download speeds. The problem has existed for weeks now.

    Your DNS settings determine what CDN server you connect to.

    If I use my ISPs DNS it connects me to a faulty server which means extremely slow downloads. A couple of weeks ago it took nearly 3 hours to download a system update.

    So if you are currently experiencing extremely slow downloads you should cancel the download then try a different DNS server. You can change DNS in the network settings app.

    A couple of DNS servers you can try are

    Google DNS and openDNS

    For google enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in the primary and secondary dns slots

    And for openDNS try 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

    You need to restart the console after changing the DNS.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the responses, managed to fix it.

    My router had assigned my Xbox One a IPv6 primary DNS even though the router itself had IPv6 connections disabled. I was unable to change the DNS setting on the console as it kept reverting to the IPv6 DNS so had to go into my router using TelNet and make
    a few changes using that to redisable the IPv6.

    Xbox One now has the IPv4 DNS servers and is now working much quicker.

    Install taking a long time

    Your download times will depend entirely on your home network. If you have low download speeds, or many devices all connected at once, this will significantly worsen your download times.

    The games are also considerably bigger than their 360 counterparts (40GB on Xbox One versus the typical 5-6GB on Xbox 360), which will also make it seem like it's much slower than you're used to.

    You can check your download speed by going to Settings/Network/Bandwidth Usage/Current Usage. This tells you your download speed and by knowing the size of the game you can calculate the expected time to download.
