I had the same issue, I fixed it by doing the following: 1 - Changed my routers DNS Servers 2 - Installed NetLimiter 4 and set the up & down speeds to 2MB/s for flightsimulator.exe I did both at the same time & it took about 30 minutes to download but didn't get stuck on any files, found the tips on the main MSFS forum and the person said the up and down limits may need adjusting. Maybe try Netlimiter first then adjust DNS servers if still not downloading properly. I changed the DNS servers from Cloudflares 1.1.1.1 service to Googles DNS servers. I hope this works for others like it did for me

Not sure why this issue is only affecting the select few (myself included), the weird thing was when the main release happened on the 18th of August the full package downloaded in a couple of hours. I then made a minor mistake a couple of weeks ago in upgrading my main SDD but not backing up the MSFS files to save re-downloading them all again thinking it would only take a couple of hours BIG MISTAKE.. After installing the new drive went to download MSFS again and it kept getting stuck on certain files, I tried all the tips given out by the dev team none of it worked, kept looking on the main MSFS forum for a cure whilst pausing and resuming the download which worked to some degree. Kept doing that whenever I wasn't at work and finally it finished the download around 4-5 days I left it running overnight and whilst I was at work (shouldn't of taken that long on a 350mbit connection though) WooHoo I thought THEN update 2 got released and it did it again with that looping thing. I left it overnight and the next morning whilst I was at work, still not completed so headed to the main MSFS Forum and found a couple of suggestions These were: 1 - Changing the Routers DNS 2 - Download Netlimiter 4 and set the up & down limit to 2MB/s for flightsimulator.exe I was so fed up of waiting I did both AND it worked the update finished in about 30 minutes. In my router settings I changed from Cloudflares 1.1.1.1 DNS to Google DNS Servers, I also stuck with the 2MB/s limit but it may need adjusting up or down for others.

Hello all, Been a member since 2014 but never posted before now we have a new flight sim that looks on course to becoming the best ever once the bugs are sorted out of course thought it was time to get more involved. Even though I am only running MSFS on a budget build it has been running really well even more so now update 2 has come out minus a couple of CTD's. I've been flight simming since FS95 actually back then the computer I had was only used for FS95 and EF2000 even though it was suppose to be used for other things when my parents brought it for me I don't know about you, but I have always found that the MS Flight sim series is probably the only program | game | simulator that makes me go OH WOW followed by word not allowed IT my computer needs an upgrade lol when you launch it for the first time and fly. Hopefully with each update they release it will just get better and better, provided that it's not like this last one. Anyway hope to see you around the forums some time. ThemeO
