PS4 vs XBO downloads

Is “our” jsnell the same one that writes for Macworld?

So it seems one of the “solutions” to make sure any app or game running is manually closed and not just suspended to get decent speeds?

Right; suspending apps/games does nothing. The only thing that matters for this particular bottleneck is whether they’re open in at least some form,

No, it’s someone else.

That’s exactly what I pointed out in the very first reply in this thread two weeks ago.

One thing I discovered is that on my PS4 if I’ve got a game running, downloads take forever. If I explicitly kill whatever game or app is running the download goes much, much faster (like at least 3-5x faster).
