Mobile Version - can’t download free content

[1xPaulx1]

Every time i try to download free content, the download „runs forever“.
Example: I select a map and press „Download“. The download has 5 MB.
But when i reach 5/5 MB, it runs higher and higher f. e. 20/5 MB. Once i left the download overnight and it was 100/5 MB. This is the matter for big Maps with 12 MB but also small ones with a couple of KB.
How can i fix this? Does somebody has the same problem? The downloads also dont show up in „Route List“ at the start, the case somebody wonders.
Btw. getting purchasable content isn‘t a problem

The map is mostly just the terrain of the route on the baseboards. When you go to download a map, it will also download all of the DLS content that the map uses, including road, track, buildings, track objects, trees and other scenery. So yes, downloading a map is not just downloading the size of the map itself, it means downloading the size of all the assets as well. There is no fix for this if you want the map to be populated with all the assets it includes.

Ok that seemes plausible! But this can‘t be the reason for the long and never ending download. For exapmle DLC content like City of Berlin or Paris Gare du Nord, is full of new 3D assets and trains and i had no problems downloading them and it took about 2 minutes (the difference is, that it‘s not free content.)
Also the long downloads count for also the very small free content with only couple of tracks on the map.

If you are downloading free (DLS) content without a FCT (First Class Ticket), then your download speeds will be very slow, about 4k-9l/sec, so it takes a long time to download anything of any size.
