Why do movies take so long to download from iTunes

Hi there Mmcdee,

It sounds like you are concerned that your downloads are taking longer than they should. Download times will vary depending on your internet speed and network traffic there could also be an element of interference as well. I would take a look at this article for some additional info about that:

I would also take a look at this article that discusses possible causes of interference that might affect your network bandwidth:

Now, if nothing else, I would recommend setting up your router with the suggested network settings for iOS devices:
