Downloads Taking Too Long to Finish (2024)

The information in this article can help you when downloads within Download Management are taking an extended amount of time to complete.

Note: Download times will vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the available network bandwidth, and the size of the content being downloaded.

Possible solutions

• Ensure no other users or applications are utilizing bandwidth on your network.

  Devices streaming content, downloading files, or performing other bandwidth intensive tasks may affect the speeds at which other devices can send and receive data over the Internet. Turn off any devices or programs you may find running.

• Perform an Internet speed test to measure your available bandwidth.

  Using a PC, you can check your network's download speeds by visiting one of the following sites:

  • Linksys Bandwidth Speed Test
  • Speed Test by Ookla
  If you are receiving download speeds less than expected, please contact your Internet Service Provider for further assistance.
• Resolve any issues with wireless interference.

  If you have experienced weak or poor signal strength with wireless devices on your home network, improving your network's wireless signal strength can also increase the speed of downloads on the Wii U.
