Visual Studio 2017 installer extremely slow

I tried to install the latest VS 2017 Update yesterday and since then I cannot get it to finish this.

This worked pretty fine in the last months and stopped working yesterday.

I already tried to do the following:

  • Uninstall VS 2017
  • Remove folder %PROGRAMFILESx86%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017
  • Remove folder %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Visual Studio
  • Restart machine

I have a 50 MBit/s download rate and all other apps are working just fine. If I look into the logs I can see failed downloads when I abort the instalation. When I pick one of the URLs there and just download the vsix directly via the browser it just works.

Is there any caching or network setting that might be useful in this case?

UPDATE I have tried 2 downloads (WLAN) from MS servers right now:

Poor download rate from visualstudio.com

Good download rate from MS Download

Has MS issues on certain download servers maybe and what to do or whom to tell in those cases?

I had the same problem with VS2017 Preview. I disabled IPV6 in the network adapter properties. After that the installer ran with full download speed.
