Windows Server 2016 Download Slow

Hello ,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

If the speed is very slow when downloading Windows Server 2016 ISO files, here are a few solutions you can try to improve the download speed:

1. The download manager can help you download files in segments, which can increase the download speed. Commonly used download managers include Internet Download Manager (IDM) and Free Download Manager.
2. Make sure you download the ISO file from an official or trusted mirror site. Sometimes, choosing a different download link or mirror site can get faster speeds.
3. Make sure your internet connection is stable. You can try restarting your router or modem, or use a wired connection instead of a wireless connection to improve stability and speed.
4. Try downloading during periods when the internet is less used, such as in the evening or early in the morning, to avoid internet congestion.
5. When downloading ISO files, turn off other ongoing downloads and streams to ensure that bandwidth is focused on ISO downloads.
6. Sometimes, using a VPN can bypass certain network restrictions, potentially boosting download speeds. Choose a VPN service with faster speeds.
7. Make sure your firewall or security software isn't throttling download speeds. You can try temporarily disabling these software for testing.
8. Your browser's settings or extensions may affect the download speed. Try using a different browser to download.

If the above methods still don't resolve the issue, you may need to contact your network service provider to ask if there are any network issues or limitations.

I hope the information above is helpful.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
