This has been an ongoing issues for years now. Very very slow downloads on bnet. Usually pausing and resuming will boost the speed momentarily but this needs a proper fix.
I’ve already set my DL speeds to 999999 but it doesn’t solve the issue. This has been happening for YEARS.
A lot goes into download speed.
I recently reinstalled Diablo IV for a promotional thing, and the speed was quite fast. I posted about it in another thread, but here’s the pic:
Yes, none of those things are my issue. Find it hard to believe you are a “Tech MVP” and are completely oblivious to the issue. It’s a very common issue and you’re trying to gaslight me in to thinking the issue is on my end.
I’m a fellow player like you. There is no benefit to me to “gaslight” you, that’s a ridiculous accusation.
The internet isn’t perfect, and neither is Windows. Players can have all sorts of problems from antivirus suites, other software, and of course how you are routed to the content delivery servers. There are LOTS of things you can do to troubleshoot on your end. However, tech support is only for actual troubleshooting discussions. If you are convinced this is Blizzard’s fault while millions can download and play without issue, then this is not a productive conversation and I’ll take my leave. Good luck.
I have the same issue. I’ve downloaded Warzone quite fast no problems. then today I get an update. it was fast up until 98%. So i downloaded 9gb out of 10gb in about 15-20 minutes and then suddenly for the last 1gb it says 2 hours??? I can download anything else fast no problem so i know its not on my end. and I don’t have any set limits and ive tried messing with those as well nothing worked or changed my download speed. so its not on my part and if i remember correctly the first first first warzone also had this issue on battle net.
I am facing the same problem. I usually download with 10 mb/s and now its only at 50 kb/s which is redicilous
It does seem like they do not want to address this issue, searching for solutions will show problems back a few years on this. And they almost always say, fix your internet. I have a 1GBps connection. I am a network engineer and have worked for an ISP, I know about issues on the internet. Any other downloads I do are in the 100s of MB range. A speed test shows my computer is capable and getting around 900MBps on download. Steam will download around 600MBps. But no matter what I try Battle.net will never go above 5MBps. There are no major updates right now, I don’t buy the servers are overworked, this is not an issue with the users networks for most all of the posts I have read, it is a problem with Battle.net.
Try this, fixed my BNET problems including horrendous download speeds
The only thing I have gotten to work is to use Command Prompt to stop winmgmt and reset repository then restart winmgmt.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator (Press start, type CMD, right click on the result and choose Run as Administrator) then:
type: net stop winmgmt [ENTER]
type: winmgmt /resetrepository [ENTER]
type: net start winmgmt [ENTER]
Exit Command Prompt
Blizzard isn’t responsible for how Windows is configured or secured by the user. As you can see in the reply above, changing a Windows service is a solution — that is unrelated to Blizzard and their code.
