jparnold Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) I have 450gb internet speed and ssd drive. Just kept coming. Vb1 Do you mean 450 Mbps internet speed? That is exceptionally fast. The fastest we can get here in Australia is 90 Mbps. Using https://downloadtimecalculator.com/ and entering (internet speed) 45 Mbps and (file size) 90GB it calculates 4 hours 52 minutes but there are many factors (holdups between your PC and the download server including the server) which would prevent you downloading at a constant 45 Mbps. If in fact you had a contant 450Mbps (not GB) it would take 28 minutes.

FrankR409 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I was at around 1:30 minutes, including some f’ing around because it stalled at the tbm screen with the blue bar. 300 + MB’s here. It only downloads as much as it needs at a time, so anything above 200 MB’s was likely overkill. I’m running a i9-10900k and n.2 nvme drives so that helps unpack a lot too.

Search the internet for an internet speed test app. Here in Australia I use https://www.speedtest.net/ which might also work in other countries.

FlightDreamer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I woke up super early this morning to get the download going - Figured it would take a while & wanted to avoid some of the later morning download traffic. Turned out to be an awesome decision because I started the download around 2:45am and was in-game before 3:30am. Less than 45 minutes total! - Of course then I realized the the Premium Deluxe pack hadn't been installed **Grrrrrr**... which added maybe an extra 5-7 minutes once i figured out how to get that going. FWIW, I'm on a gigabit connection and typically get around 950Mbps down all things being equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zSCHIZOz Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 After I got passed the Blue Bar freezes it took 2.5 hours to download and install. Not bad, not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparnold Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 The average write speed of a HDD is 80-160 Mbps so an SSD drive should make downloads faster if your internet speed if more than that. Hey how long does MSFS 2020 take to load after clicking on the desktop icon to run it using an SSD drive?

Markg55 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 An hour and three quarters is my guesstimation. Had other things to do. Average connection speed was about 180 mbs. Checked that twice during download. Did not even get to try it. Had to get some shut eye for an early work start. No money = No funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No money = No funny The only reason I know it was less than an hour is the delivery guys were here with my new bed. I started it about 5 minutes before they arrived and it was done before they left and I was thinking "hurry up I have stuff to do" lol I am unfortunately stuck at home still due to COVID and being high risk but told work I was not working from home yesterday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frangagn Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Guy, you should remember the days when we were downloading a file via a phone modem... those download times were common! Now, I started it before going to bed, the next morning it was there ready to play. Avoids the frustratio of counting how long! Take a sleep pill if you are too excited! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markg55 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I remember FS-2 on my Commodore 64. Flight between KISP and KMVY half-way the game would say loading.....Loading....Loading.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven214 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Going off how it fared after the first 45 minutes, mine probably took about 2.5 hrs to download last night. I can't say for sure as I was getting the family to bed, but when I got up in the middle of the night it was ready to go! I do feel bad for those with slow connections. When I first got internet over 20 years ago now it was dial-up and a big download was over 1 MB lol! Times sure have changed.

FlightDreamer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hey how long does MSFS 2020 take to load after clicking on the desktop icon to run it using an SSD drive? I haven't timed it but I'd say it takes around 15-20 seconds before it hits the first spashscreen on my PC. I have my FS instillation on a 2TB NVMe drive dedicated for apps & games with the main OS being on a 1TB NVMe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
