Download loop not fixed

[Pip 2]

After all the updates why haven't they fixed the constant download loop I brought this the day it was released and still stuck with trying to get everything downloaded so that I can start the game and fly something.

I experienced the same yesterday. Just quit the program, rebooted the computer, and after that the download was without issues.

Try an internet connection with a cap on speed. When I set a cap the files download and never ever choke or restart. If I don't set a cap, then the files just sort of go round and round and restart, what a mess. You set a cap outside of the sim in your internet hardware settings (like the router or modem). Or a utility that you download that does that.

This is the browser URL to set a cap with a router, the user and password is usually admin and admin (lower case only).

I had it as well.  It was because I experimented with setting a 5 MB/a cap in the sim and forgot to reset it to unlimited.  It still shouldn't happen though.

I followed this from Steku in the tips and tricks section in the end.

NOTE: Instead of using Netlimiter, I just downloaded the new Nvidia driverss at the same time and watched YouTube videos in the background until MSFS had finished downloading.  This had the same effect as Netlimiter, as MSFS was having to share the bandwidth, and it got the update through in the end.  Sad though - this should be basics.
