I honestly don’t know why this happens, but this thing is actually taking forever to download a simple 6gb update. Steam does not have this issue and I am at a loss, please help.
I’m not sure what you’re downloading, but often times windows will download and then spend time caching and copying from memory before proceeding with downloading and looks like the network dropping, but I think it’s just pausing download while it does it’s thing. So it may be normal behavior…
P.s. downloads are completely dependent on the uploaders bandwidth. They may throttle speeds to accommodate a large database of connections. You may have a 300Gbps download speed, but the download is only coming down the pipe at an upload speed of 3Mbps… like downloading from PlayStation store takes forever… they just throttle it down because millions of people are downloading the same update at the same time…
