Just limped over the finish line, 2 hours 40 minutes 

Your racehorse is going to need to be retired to the donkey sanctuary after that haul!

If you obsessively stare at the download speed and complain loudly, it will help speed things up.

It's specifically designed that way, just to prove you wrong....

Started at 5:45pm it's now 7:10pm and I've got to 91% 🤣 utter joke, but at least I've had dinner and the footballs on to watch instead (dreadful games on though!)

I assume it's connected to far more people downloading

not sure.

Soundbases package was very slow downloading for me aswell in the last beta build some days ago..The rest of the packages went smoothly, 

Seemed like they were on totally different CDNs

I'm trying to find my old 9600 baud and a land line so I can speed this up LOL    Wow, it must have known I said something mean because now it's back to 0....   I thought it was only Alexa spying on me...

That's the problem. I can't shout at it because I will disturb the neighbours.

pausing and restarting did the trick for me.

Is there any way to circumvent this update and get back to flying till tomorrow ? Thanks

I got all thw way to 41% before it sent me back to 39%.........I got to 48% before it sent me back to 44%....now I'm back to 47%.

It's like a rubbish game of snakes and ladders.

Unacceptable.

Mine also took a while and seemed to get stuck at 91% with the Soundbase 61 file. I ended up pausing and then exiting the sim. Then I went into the Offical packages folder, deleted the ".part" file that had stalled the download and restarted the sim. It quickly downloaded the remaining file when it restarted.

Unlike other updates, though, I let it run in the background for a while before I stopped it, as I knew it would take its sweet time. The reason I decided to stop it at 91% is that it had been stuck there for quite some time.

I have the steam version and it only took around 10 minutes to download with no pausing or slowing down at all, I'm in the UK. I have to say I really like the new Cirrus. Definitely looking forward to taking it out for a flight after a bit more reading up on how everything works.

After 3 restarts and 3hrs its finally finished.  They really need to figure this out ! Its not that complicated.
