2016 updates... sooooo slow..

Hi All,

Anyone experiencing updates take an age.. got a solution ?

Seems here that downloading manually seems quicker.. cant try yet as 2018-5 hasn't finished after over an hour

Might help some...lol

LOL.. you are right.. I have an engineer on site saying this and didn't believe her, I started a VM and plain install Im having the same issues, told her to go home, we going to try again, wipe and  and download 2019 - 06 manually and try that.. update every one tomorrow...lol

Sorry, I have to add my engineer is very proficient and I just couldn't believe the situation she was in... She will still get paid her overtime and she was the one who did the research... :-)
