Fix 1xBet App Download Speed
A slow download that times out leaves you with a corrupted file that won't install. Fixing the speed issue first saves you from repeated failed attempts and wasted mobile data.

How do I test my actual download speed?
Before troubleshooting, measure your current speed. The APK is typically 50-80 MB — here's how long it should take:
| Connection speed | Time for 70 MB file | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Mbps | ~10 minutes | Very slow — expect timeouts |
| 5 Mbps | ~2 minutes | Acceptable for downloads |
| 20 Mbps | ~30 seconds | Good — normal speed |
| 50+ Mbps | ~10 seconds | Fast — no issues expected |
Test your speed: Open fast.com or speedtest.net in your browser. If you're getting less than 5 Mbps, the slow download is a connection issue, not a server issue.
What causes slow downloads technically?
Understanding the cause helps you pick the right fix. Slow downloads have different root causes:
| Cause | Technical reason | How to identify |
|---|---|---|
| ISP throttling | Your provider limits certain traffic | Speed test is fast, but APK downloads are slow |
| DNS issues | Slow DNS lookup delays connection start | Download starts late, then runs at normal speed |
| Server distance | CDN node is far from your location | Consistently slow from this source only |
| Wi-Fi congestion | Too many devices on same channel | Speed fluctuates, works better late at night |
| Background usage | Other apps consuming bandwidth | Speed improves after closing other apps |
How do I fix DNS-related slowdowns?
Switching to a faster DNS can improve download start times. Your device uses DNS to find the server's IP address — slow DNS means slow connection initiation.
Recommended public DNS servers:
| Provider | Primary DNS | Secondary DNS |
|---|---|---|
| 8.8.8.8 | 8.8.4.4 | |
| Cloudflare | 1.1.1.1 | 1.0.0.1 |
| Quad9 | 9.9.9.9 | 149.112.112.112 |
Android: Settings → Network → Private DNS → Enter
hostname (e.g., dns.google or 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com)
iOS: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap your network → Configure DNS → Manual → add DNS addresses
Does VPN affect download speed?
VPNs can both help and hurt download speeds depending on your situation:
| Situation | VPN effect | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| ISP is throttling downloads | VPN hides traffic type → faster | Try VPN if normal download is slow |
| VPN server is far away | Adds latency → slower | Choose server closer to you |
| Free VPN with bandwidth limits | Severe throttling → much slower | Disconnect VPN for downloads |
Test both: Download with VPN on, then with VPN off. Use whichever is faster.
Quick reference: speed fix by symptom
Match your symptom to the fix.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Download never starts | DNS or firewall block | Change DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 |
| Starts fast, then slows | ISP throttling or congestion | Try VPN or download at off-peak hours |
| Fluctuates wildly | Wi-Fi interference | Move closer to router or use mobile data |
| Consistently slow | Low bandwidth connection | Switch to faster network |
| Times out at 90%+ | Connection drop near end | Use download manager with resume support |
