Learn how to troubleshoot slow game or app downloads on your Xbox One console. Dec 18, 2014 XBOX ONE downloads incredibly slow. I have hi speed internet. So what could be the problem? Why does my xbox one always take 18 to 24 hours easily to download. TL;DR: My Xbox is soo slow at downloading compared to my PC and sometimes it does not even download update my games. So lately I was trying to update my games and I noticed that is really really slow, and even sometimes it takes ages. Mar 04, 2019 Download speed is too slow to download Windows 8 pro. Windows 8 upgrade assistant is trying to download the file since last couple of hours (almost 4 hours) and only 8% download.
If you tried to download a game on Xbox One today and it felt faster for some reason, it wasn’t just your imagination – Microsoft covertly updated the console to make download speeds up to 80% faster for some users.
The news, which didn’t make it to main Microsoft news sites like the Xbox Wire or Major Nelson’s blog, comes by way of some obscure patch notes on Microsoft’s .
The update is titled 10.0.14393.2152 (rs1_xbox_rel_1610 161208-1218) fre – catchy, I know – and besides improving general stability of the system, it will dramatically reduce the amount of time you spend waiting for a game to download.
The largest improvement will come to users with high-speed connections, which Microsoft’s support site defines as greater than 100Mbps. They can expect apps and games to download about 80% faster than before thanks to the update.
But if you’re not rocking fiber yet, don’t worry, you’re still getting a performance boost too.
The update notes say that anyone with a connection that’s less than 100Mbps should experience more consistent performance that is up to 40% faster than before – which could mean the difference of a few hours when downloading full titles like Gears of War 4 or Forza Horizon 3.

While we all love flashy UI improvements slow download speeds have plagued the system since launch day, so it’s nice to see some work done in this area.
Now if only we could make some sort of plastic cartridge that had games completely installed on them and didn’t need any sort of day one patch…

[Xbox One] Slow download fix
Disclaimer: I found this on my own and it is only confirmed to work for me. Works for some other people as well. Best of luck to you.
Why Is My Internet Download Speed Slow
First off you need to head over to your Xbox One network settings. From there go to 'advanced settings'. Scroll past 'IP Settings' and go to 'DNS Settings'. Change your primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 8.8.4.4. Now go back into your advanced settings and head to 'Alternate MAC address' and hit 'clear'. You'll be prompted to restart your Xbox One and if it worked then you should now be downloading at normal speeds!
I hope this works for anyone else being plagued by 400 KB/s download speeds.
