Why is my downloading so slow?

Why is Windows Update downloading so slow?

  • Has anyone else noticed that Windows Update downloads extremely slow at times? On my connection I average 500 kbps, so a 200 mb update should only take 7 minutes to download. However, this process sometimes takes up to an hour to finish DOWNLOADING (which would mean it's downloading less than 60kbps). Note that this is only the Download process. The Install step usually takes less than a minute.

  • Answer:

    Microsoft security essentials can fix this. The slow download is because of your anti-virus software interfering when the update is in progress.
