Windows 10: Over 24 hours of Wifi Download?

With the May 2020 update, I am seeing about 300Kb/s of download. This has been going on for over 24 hours.


1. Is this what to expect for the May 2020 update?

2. Would the use of the wifi network block other Internet using software from connectivity? My Firefox cannot reach the net. Even Edge reaches only some sites. It reaches Amazon.com but not bleepingcomputer.com. Why?

3. Turning the computer off does not stop the wifi usage, except while off. The moment the computer Is powered up, the wifi usage starts.

4. How long should the new update take to download?

5. How long to install, too?

Hi Sandra,

To change the time format from 12 hour to 24 hour in Windows 10.

Follow the steps:

• Navigate to Control panel.
• In the category view of the control panel, click on the
  ‘Change date, time, or number formats’.
• Change the short time to HH:mm from the drop down.
• Press Apply to make the changes.
• Now your time format will change to 24 hour format.

Hope this helps, let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Downloading windows 10 ISO within 24 hours

The ISO image (for build 1709 x64) is 4.4 GB; even at 512 kbps that's still just 20 hours.

I would expect that "the link will expire" means the transfer can no longer be started after 24 hours – but if it is already running, then it should just continue until finished.

The MS download server also supports partial requests; if the connection gets interrupted, download managers and just tools like wget -c can resume the same download even from a different URL. (It works simply by requesting specific byte ranges, so as long as the file on the server hasn't changed it will carry on without noticing.)

Finally, the same Win10_1709_English_x64.iso can be found in other places (that is, some people rehost it on their personal webservers) with no such restrictions.

If you do a partial download, or use a non-official source, I'd strongly suggest verifying the hash sums afterwards, to make sure the image was not corrupted in transit… but sadly MS doesn't bother publishing those anymore (they used to).

 

Downloading windows 10 ISO within 24 hours

Yes, your understanding is correct.

The direct download link are valid for 24 hours only from the time of creation. So download within the 24 hours otherwise the links will expire.
But, a user on another forum (Ratan Mani Uniyal) found out a method to continue download even when the downloading time was over 24h.
