Previously this month it took 8 hours to download a 6gb file and 2 hrs to D/L a 1.7gb file!
Others who have similar speeds to me are getting the same file downloaded in an hour or so. What can i do to improve D/L times on my console?
Thanks,
Chris

if its the former theres nothing to be done about it (you don't mention if they others getting the higher speeds are on plusnet) until Monday, but the latter are up to you to lookinto and correct as required.
bear inmind if it is a QOS setting causing the problem and people in your house are actually streaming something they wont be very happy with you changing things around

That way, the download doesn't affect gaming latency, or anyone else streaming or browsing, and the Xbox download is ready to use in the morning.
I can't say that I've ever noticed that my connection wasn't downloading Xbox files at anything less than my IP profile would allow.

Quote from: nanotm its possible that the download traffic is in a low priority Queue, or qos settings in the router are slowing it down (in favour of streaming or something) or it could be a setting in the xbox is causing it to be slow

The others getting higher speeds are not with plusnet no, the majority are with Virgin Media or have BT Infinity. With regards other usage etc, i'm the only one in the house and the only thing using the internet at the same time is the laptop i'm on and i'm doing nothing but checking the forum and using twitter.
If it IS the former, what would be the solution for me to ask Plusnet come the working week?
With regards qos settings, i can't access the routers settings. Whenever i try to access them online by typing in the IP address etc i just get a time out screen saying that it's taking too long to respond =/
Currently 38% downloaded in 4hrs 20mins. Thank the lord for DVD's and MOTD that's all i can say
EDIT - A friend of mine who has a download speed of 3mb/s is currently having the same timespan on his download as myself. Mine is 15-20. There's definitely something amiss haha This is painful

can you get telnet session to open on it ?
if not perhaps restarting it would at least restore the ability to login (might ant to wait till after you pause the download though

look here http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,118287.msg1025819.html#msg1025819
there's a link to an article that tells you how to use telnet on w7
and I've listed the method to start a connection to the router
once your finished with the telnet window (don't change anything just use it to look at settings ) type the word exit and hit enter
also you have to hit enter at each stage of the process (if I didn't mention it) to run the various commands
I know I'm being a bit lazy but its late and my dyslexia is getting worse (I can tell by all the red auto correction underlines on my screen) I'm sure someone else will explain things better if you don't understand them just say so and in the morning when they lookover things someone is bound to know what the exact problem is

Suspect it's because you're on the older Unlimited product, which has a number of rate limits in place - I'd strongly recommend changing to the new Unlimited product. Even if you opt to go for the contract free variant you should still find it's cheaper than what you're currently paying.
If you'd like to change product just log into your member's centre at www.plus.net and choose Product Change on the bar at the top.
Hope that helps.
