#Unreal engine 5 What’s the standard download time with the standard rate of 1-3 MB/s?
Yes, that’s about right.
What’s right?
This rate.
Hi @anonymous_user_673ef817 , welcome to the forums. For example, my current UE5 install takes 55GB, but that’s on disk. As downloads are compressed, the real network traffic for sure is below this, but I do not remember those numbers. Also it depends on the features you select, like debugging symbols for C++.
But once you have installed the Launcher, you can select UE5 to install, and select Options
Note: in my case, it offers Launch, but install is offered, if it is not yet installed.
In the options, you can select the features you need. Here, you can select what you need and potentially also save disk space. This also allows to later install features not initially installed.
Note the Download Size information which is shown depending on your selected features. For me it is 0 because I have not selected any new features, but If for example I’d go to add symbols for debugging, it looks like this:
11.45GB download and additional 50GB on disk.
So you can simply divide the numbers to get the required time.
Rough calculation Example: 10GB = 10000MB - so with your 1-3MB (average 2MB/s) means 5000 seconds, means roughly 1.4 hours. So be prepared that this may take quite some time.
I hope this helps
Thanks! You’re helpful!

It was useless. Turn out, that my GPU- Wait… nvm opened just fine.
Not your info, but me wasting my time… was useless.
Took me little over an hour with 6-8 MB/s download speed, but my download was about 34GB (instead of 11GB as mentioned in this thread).
If you read the comment, you see that these 11GB Download size were just shown in the example for how the launcher estimates the sizes - in that case only the size for the additional installation of the debugging symbols into an already existing UE5 installation.
