Install/download speed insanely slow

[hawku]

Steam downloaded the MSFS files at 600 Mbit/s and the game is now downloading the game itself at 1-2 Mbit/s. Is there something wrong or is this normal?

Thanks to Microsoft it's completely normal. We all suffer here.

Unbelievable. I have a 1Gbit/s connection and I download it with 0,002Gbit (2Mbit/s) 1/500 of the possible speed.

If you have a VPN, connect to the closest point to your location in USA. Their base speed is 8Mbtis not 2. Also, the way Asobo have configured their servers to check for simultaneous connections means you need to wait a few minutes before they open the taps and let rip the data streams.

For the last three updates, I've used this method and it sorts out the overall wait times significantly.. Your fibre line will be maxed out soon enough.

Its weird, I have usually such slow download speed, but only in the first minutes. Then it boosts up and I can download the rest at maybe 500 MBits (having 1 GBit connection, based in germany). I heard from others that have always slow download speed, and some have it like me, slow at beginning and then speeding up, and some have never an issue with download speed.

PS: these are not asobo servers actually, its microsoft cloud.

Azure servers, yes..

everything you need to know about how it all works, is explained in this article from them in the name of 'transparency':

An interesting read, for sure.

I'm getting 2MB Max donwload speeds also.

It will take a week or more to download this game by the launcher.

Is possible to open a ticket or report to FS team?
In the FS website it redirects me to steam help, which has no option for the launcher nor a link to report.
Discord also won't help, people tell it will solve it self, but it's being a few days trying to install this game.
