Internet speed at my place is no so good. But still I was able to download the offline installer of Visual Studio which is about 7 GB in 2 days.
But the UE installer is so crazy, I am trying to download the engine since last 3 months. The progress bar just doesn’t move!
I can see 8 GB of data usage on my internet service provider’s site. But progress is just 50% i.e. about 3 to 4 GB.
According to other threads on the internet, it seems that the installer sets a timer per file and if that file doesn’t get fully downloaded, it just throws the partially downloaded file and starts that file again. Really
When it says “please wait” it can really take forever.
I have even seen the progress bar going reverse!!
For this much sized software, an offline installer is a must.
