Q: I can't download X Com2. It's just 'hanging' there with a status of 'waiting'.

Hi WarrenMouse,

I understand X Com 2 doesn't appear to download.  Checking the app, it's really big.

XCOM 2 on the Mac App Store

• Size: 27.90 GB

Depending on your download speed, it can take quite a while to download.

iTunes Store: Download times will vary - Apple Support

4-minute song	4 MB	4-5 seconds	20-30 seconds	About 10 minutes
5-minute video	30 MB	30-40 seconds	About 3 minutes	About 1 hour, 10 minutes
9-hour audiobook	110 MB	2 minutes	About 10 minutes	About 4 hours, 15 minutes
45-minute TV show	200 MB	3-5 minutes	15-20 minutes	About 7 hours, 45 minutes
45-minute HDTV show	600 MB	10-15 minutes	About 45 minutes-1h	n/a2
2-hour movie	1.0-1.5 GB	18-24 minutes	About 1.5-2 hours	n/a2
2-hour HD movie	3.0-4.5 GB	54-72 minutes3	About 4.5-6 hours3	n/a2

So with a 5 Mbit/s download speed, a 27.9 GB app would take around 8.37 hours. If you have a faster download speed of course you can calculate it.
