Why are My iTunes Downloads so Slow?

How is that relevant here when I have just verified 7mbit/s with 40ms response time?

awesome, that fixed the problem! Went form 55 hours to 12 minutes.

I found that if you have a video that you've already downloaded, playing, while you download, the speed is noticeably faster.

This article is so helpfull, i disable my antivirus "Kaspersky" and download 65mb/s now 🙂 thanks 🙂

hey! i also disabled my antivirus (avast) and the download went a little bit faster! (still slow though..)

Lately, my iTunes downloads have been stalling out many times during playback. Is Apple having problems? I checked everything on my end. It's not me.

Apple caps all data transfer speed to any given IP address to about 50-60Mbit/sec during non peak times and 10-30Mbit during peak hrs

I'm on a 144/20 connection. Plus I used to work

For Apple just outside of Sacramento, CA... Tier 3 engineering support...

and have friends at sac and Cupertino that confirm stuff like this

You're welcome.

And yes I guarantee a reinstall will not fix it - multiple OSs, reinstalls etc and iTunes is complete crap!

Apple Techs. What's the problem with iTunes keeps slowing up and putting up that circle spinning thing for 30sec. every minute and a half? Please, this should be your highest priority.

Its Works........ Thanks

But Not So Much

I Got Increased Speed from 1 MB/S to 5-6 Mb/s on as I have a 100 Mb/s network Speed..

Yet its much better than 1 mb/s.

What is the point of this page if its just everyone saying yeah, I have the same phuquing problem ???

how about 2 hours for a 46 minute album with 250 mb/s ?

My internet speed is 100mbps I am downloading sims freeplay and its taking too much time.

IS working now
