I bought this on Steam, being that Microsoft no longer is doing anything with FS... I see a lot of potential here, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on it. I will say, that it takes forever to download. They may want to consider an alternative to downloading or somehow compress the files to make for a faster download.

Perhaps you caught them at a busy time, for I recently had to re d/l everything after a format etc.... took about 10 mins max. FSXSE equally was about the same as was DCS World and Train Sim. I'm on cable which claims 100Mbits/sec but actually is in the mid 70's...

That is one of the problems with Steam. During heavy times it can take awhile to download anything Weekends are usually the worst times to try to download things. Late nights or early mornings are usually the best times.
But you have to remember times are different depending upon where you are at.
