With previous versions it would take me up to 4 hours to download 12GB and I had to repeat the download several times because the checksums didn't match. I don't know if it's something LM did with their download servers or something I did with my home network.
@ mikestanley464 ,

My P3D downloads (I have done many) take 15 minutes and I have never had a bad Checksum (using a download manager) yet.

Of the 2, most likely your home network - in spite of me being so far away from the servers, I have not experienced a bad checksum or slow download for almost 2 years now.
