February 17, 20215 yr My install keeps stalling and if I restart it usually it stalls on first file. After several minutes it will continue so seems best to not interrupt it.
February 17, 20215 yr Can you imagine all the wasted bandwidth due to all the failed / restarted downloads. INSANE! If Bill Gates new about this he'd get the problem solved ASAP. I'm on hold with FS2020 until this is solved. bs Edited February 17, 20215 yr by bean_sprout AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

February 17, 20215 yr I'm not the engineer here but will make the observation that partial downloads should never be restarted from the beginning. That is web 1.0 behavior.

February 17, 20215 yr "Download errors" tend to be user errors. Did you, for example, mess with the base files?
February 17, 20215 yr Closing MSFS and restarting it again to allow the download to continue was the only way I could seem to resolve the loop in the download (at around 9gb downloaded). All up and running fine now though.

I don't have (almost) anything installed yet other than a few folders. I chose to install to c:/fs2020. The Downloader needs to deal with crappy connections is the problem IMO. Also I flat-out reject your statement. bs Edited February 17, 20215 yr by bean_sprout AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER
February 17, 20215 yr Commercial Member Have you followed the instructions on zendesk? Changing the ip auto tuning strategy fixed my looping download issues. https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016844080-Download-stuck-on-packages-Install-loop My FSX Analysis Blog
February 17, 20215 yr The response from my Zendesk ticket has no bearing on the problem - restarting partial downloads from the beginning.

I didn't change any files, or even look at them. We're working on a very demanding project and don't have time for that. The program was working fine, then it said an update was required so I did the update. At first I had no idea why it seemed to go on interminably long until I noticed it was stuck on the same file. Of the many dozens of programs I keep updated, mostly related to our shop's work, this is the only one that has a problem with its updater.
February 20, 20215 yr pause ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .... unpause got the download working again for me. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
February 20, 20215 yr Asobo's posted suggestion is to note the exact file name of the file that is chocking. Pause MSFS download, or even exit MSFS. Find and then delete that file from computer disc. Restart MSFS. Anyway that's what Asobo says. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
March 9, 20215 yr OMG I finally fixed this after watching it go for 12hrs and reboot after reboot, I went into my router and limited the download speed to 5.0 Mbits/s which is basically dial up speed and no more looping. This is next gen stuff right here. Ryzen 5 5600X - Noctua U12A, 32Gb Vengence, Sapphire Pulse 5700xt, WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD
March 9, 20215 yr The issue is directly related to an Amazon CDN issue. Yes MS uses Amazon. This was discover during the alpha. I did a packet sniffing capture when I had the issue. Basically the remote server keep sending TCP Window Size reset. Which basically make the file download reset back to 0. It's 100% an Asobo server issue. The only work around we found was a netlimiter to reduce the speed the file would download from the server.

At this rate it's gona take like another 5hrs. but at least it's not looping. Ryzen 5 5600X - Noctua U12A, 32Gb Vengence, Sapphire Pulse 5700xt, WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD
