Downloading via Apple TV VERY slow

Need help. I have Apple TV linked to my TV and also Telstra Bigpond T-Box.
Problem: If I use Apple TV to RENT a movie .... it takes HOURS to load before I can view it on my TV? Don't know why this is happening as I can rent a movie via the T-BOX and it instantly loads? Can anyone give me some idea of what is going wrong here? Thanks / J

Many streaming services like Netflix are rate adaptive so lower qulaity for a slow connection - this is usually the issue with AppleTV 'downloads' as the stream is fixed size.
SD needs 2.5Mbps, 720p 6 Mbps, 1080p 8 Mbps to play virtually instantly in most cases.
The unit calculates the internet speed and how long it will take to buffer of the fixed size stream to start playing with the rest downloading as you watch.
Doing other things with AppleTV will reset the buffering and cause you to have to wait again - renting in iTunes and Home Sharing under Computers icon on AppleTV can help.

My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

Still you can switch it off while syncing.
You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Maybe your internet speed is slow. Check your download speed.

Downloading Drivers during OSD very slow SCCM 2012R2

Hey,
Lately I started experiencing a slow download speed in OSD. I managed to fix the slowness for the wim download with KB2905002 hotfix,
but downloading drivers is still very slow.
Any Ideas or suggestions ??

Is it possible that you're actually getting the PXE response from a DP elsewhere? Have you reviewed the smspxe.log file on your expected DP and seen the session with your test workstation?
PXE has nothing to do with driver delivery. Drivers come from a DP using the normal content distribution process just like everything else in the TS. The only thing delivered by PXE is the boot image.
Have you reviewed the IIS.log files on the DP where the driver files are being downloaded from? Have you tried temporarily enabling anonymous authentication on the DP?

Apple tv very slow to download, this has only just begun

we have been using the apple tv for quite a long time and recently we just updated it to the latest version of the software.
Since doing this the apple tv is very very slow to download anything. we are currently trying to watch a program and it suggests 1 hour 30 mins before we can do so. we used to be able to watch instantly!!!
any ideas how to fix?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Why is my Apple tv (very) Slow at downloading from my iTunes account (homesharing)

Why is both my apple Tv's (very) slow at downloading (buffer) from my iTunes account on my hard drive (home sharing)

You didn't clarify where you were accessing the content from computers icon or one of the other icons (using the cloud)
It's a coincidence. Verify interference using istumbler and try Ethernet
If you're using the cloud there are other things to look at

Downloading 1.1.3 very slow

It's taking a long time and it is very, very slow. . .
It's not me I have a strong intenet conection. It is at 2% and it has been going for half an hour. Why is this???

I am having the same issue, so far with two different devices.
One is being updated with Apple Configurator. The other is being updated via iTunes. Both are reporting excruciatingly long download times. The Apple Configurator one I left running overnight and it had failed when I checked it in the morning.
Sorry, not a solution to offer, but just a me too. I do have access to another resource. If I get my head above water I'm going to check there.

Downloading from iTunes Store very slow

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 and download to my external hard drive on my MacBook Pro version OS X 10.9. I haven't had a problem with download speeds until now. Downloading a 22.5mb TV show is taking up to 3hrs. My internet (wireless) is running fine elsewhere in my home. I can watch apple tv via itunes store purchases just fine streaming as well as Netfix. Suggestions?

Hey there Kimber.c,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection is very slow on this computer. I would try the steps in this section of the article named:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
Symptom: The Wi-Fi network seems slow
Streaming movies may skip or pause.
iTunes or other downloads may take an unusually long time to complete.
Webpages may not load quickly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

OSD: Downloading multiple files is very slow

I has a exe software. It is not a single file package, it contains a lot of files. when I installed this software in OSD, I found it would spend 15~20minutes to download files.
It was very strange. The software is only 750 mb size. the speed of downloading 6 GB OS image is also much faster than this software.
I know downloading multiple files is slower than downloading a single file, if their size are same.
But the downloading of multiple files in OSD is "really" very slow.
Why? Cause of BITS or RDC? How to fix it?
PS：I update to SCCM 2012 R2 with CU1, add the below into SCCM
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP]
"RamDiskTFTPBlockSize"=dword:00004000
http://windowsdeployments.net/how-to-speed-up-pxe-boot-in-wds-and-sccm/
Now, the download speed up to 4 minutes, but it still slower than the normal copy & paste.
Test result:
OSD: 2.6G
single image, 2 minutes
OSD: 750m multiple files, 4 mintues
after OSD, copy & paste from network drive, 750 multiple files, 1 mintue

I had updated to CU1 and add this into regedit . It is quicker than before, but it still slower than the normal.

               thats a brand new system i didnt get the proper driver networks from hp for windows also.. then find it and solved it... but my downloading very slow...

Hello @vijay79,
I understand that after downgrading to Windows 7 your internet speed has slowed down. What connection type are you using to connect to the internet wired or wireless? Have you ensured that you have installed all the drivers from the HP Pavilion Desktop - 500-400na - Software & Drivers page? If not please do so.
If after you have ensured that all the drivers are installed you still have the slow speed issue please re-post with the answers to my questions and I will be happy to help you further. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

I have been having problems with my download speeds they are very sluggish only transferring at 12 kb/s and I know that the problem is not with my laptop as I have tried to download something off my ps3 and the connection just seemed to time out this has become very stressful as I have contacted BT and they have found not wrong with my telephone line, I have tried everything to try and solve this issue but all has failed.

Apple TV very slow download since updating to new OS/UI

I've had Apple TV since version v1 and am currently on v2.
Whenever renting a movie the downloads are always ready to watch with 30-60 secs. It's been this way for years. Same router, same connection, nothing has changed with the exception of the ATV device. But both worked fine.
But since updating my Apple TV v2 OS 3 weeks ago to the new (awful) UI, download rentals have been taking up to 3 hours and can't be watched for at least 2hours.
What's happened?
I have checked download speeds and all is fine. ATV is connected in the same way via the same router. The only thing that has changed is the new update.
Any ideas guys?

The download time is ridiculous! I've rented a few HD movies and purchased a couple HD TV episodes, none of which I can watch until the next day. After reading the forums, I see that this is a common problem. Has anyone found a fix for this?
common for people with suspected ISP throttling.
whenever i've rented an HD movie it was ready to watch within 60 seconds.
Do HD rentals include the iTunes extras? Because the movies I've rented that said" including iTunes extras" don't seem to have them, unless I'm not looking in the right place.
selected movies have itunes extras (not all).
don't think the rentals do though, only purchased movies have the extras.

Streaming videos from iPhone 4s via AirPlay is very slow

. I took a few videos with my iPhone 4S when I was on vacation. When I try to stream them from my iPhone to my Apple TV, it buffers extremely slowly. However, when I stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my Apple TV, it buffers very quickly and plays very quickly. Based on that, I'm assuming that there's nothing wrong with my wireless network. So my question is, what could be wrong with my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Download to flash drive very slow

Downloading to a USB flash drive (2 attempted: Sandisk Cruzer and Kingston, both with plenty to free space) has always been slower than other transfers (ie, HD to HD, HD to Firewire HD), but suddenly transfer rates plummeted from a few minutes for 50 MB to well over an hour. I tried restarting alone, ran Applejack on a second restart, nothing. Folders downloaded contain jpg images, pdfs, and MS doc and docx files, nothing unusual, and pretty much the exact same folders that were already on the drive. I was updating them to include a few current files. Incidentally, after none of the above worked, I tried deleting one of the folders I was replacing (and emptying the trash) before transferring the folder to the USB drive, with no success.
This has never been an issue on this same Power Mac g5 running the same everything and using the same 2 flash drives (I keep them as supplemental backups of current data).
Anybody have an idea why the transfer rate would slow this much?
thanks

Growl has been a big problem in the past a few times.
