Why do movies take forever to donload on itunes?

I am currently downloading 3 movies to itunes. I stepped away and 35 minutes later the first movie is still downloading. And the other two are paused. I minimized the program and went to Netflix and downloaded 1 movie and 4 episodes of TV shows. Went back to itunes... still have 6 minutes left on the first movie. WHY so slow. When i look at all the other questions i see i'm not the only one, and it seems this has been an issue for awhile.

Hey there, BumbleBB!


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. I see from your post that you've been trying to download some movies from iTunes, but it's taking far longer than expected to complete all three. I'm happy to help!


Based on what you've described, I'd recommend checking out the steps provided in the Apple Support article If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or Apple Books - Apple Support. Even though the article is aimed at not being able to connect, which you clearly can do, the steps are also helpful for other types of connection issues, as well, including concerns over the speed of downloads.


Have a wonderful day!
