Hello,
So at the moment my xbox one has Dying light, gta 5 and sunset overdrive queued for download. Sunset overdrive is at about 20% because I paused it to download forza horizon 2.

Now my forza horizon 2 is at 8% and moves so slowly. My PS4 would take a few hours to download a game this size and max is a day for games like gta. I have my xbox in instant on mode so it could download at night but it hardly went up. Is there anything I could do to make it faster?

Thanks for all help!

do you have your xbone hardwired? are you downloading from disc or from the market place? the way it sounds its the market place. go to speedtest.net and check your internet speed im running 45gb i can download full games from the market place in under 30min. also if you have an external hd make sure you are downloading to that as it is much faster then the hard drive in the xbone

Im downloading from the marketplace.

I can't download to the external as I don't have any that have space and I already queued downloads.

Here is my speedtest:
Download: 7.74 mbps
Upload: 0.87 mbps
Ping: 23ms

This connection downloads fine on the ps4 and games take a few hours to download.

yeah not sure why you would have much of an issue no your not running at my speeds but its more then enough you didnt come back with a 1.0 mbps.lol so are you on wifi or hardwired you lose some speed when wifi.. ps4 has a much better internal hd its probably around 2x as fast as the xbone.

Im on WiFi.
I don't think I should be at 33% still if I started downloading yesterday.
I have many more games to download so I don't know what to do.
How much would a wired internet help because I can take the xbox in my living room to download.

its hard to tell i dont run my xbone hardwired either except when doing comp play. try to limit the internet usage also i.e. dont be running netflix watching youtube and browsing forums while trying to download...... that being said i know you said you left it on over night so the usage shouldve only been your xbone then. other then trying it hardwired you might want to wait to see if anyone else chimes in with something im forgetting.

Download at night was even slower. I turned my xbox off but I have it set to instant on so it should download.
