slow download update Mac OS sequoia 15.3.1

My system update is slow. Since yesterday, only 770 MB has been downloaded. My internet speed is 20 MB. What is the problem?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.2

Same exact experience. It's excruciatingly slow, almost as if it's locked up. Had to restart a few times to make more progress, and I'm on a fairly new iMac.

Update: I had some internet issues after downloading this update. Was in a virtual job interview when both my hardwired and Wi-Fi connection kept failing after a few minutes. I called Apple Support and let them know and posted on other forums about it. Somehow, things seemed to have course-corrected. On my end, all I did was plug my hardwired connection into a different port on my iMac, though maybe Apple pushed an update without me noticing. In any event, hope this update was slow and not additionally problematic for you all.

Also the same here. Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.2 on M1 Max Studio and the internet speed on the download is a snails pace. 1-2mbps & when I check the house wifi on any other device doing a speed test I'm getting around 46mbps download speed. SOMETHING IS DRASTICALLY WRONG! I never had an issue for over 2 years with sonoma and the day I upgraded to Sequoia, everything is slow. The internet is almost unusable. On phone, xbox, tablet, tv all completely fine. I have also done all the recommended, like turn off firewall, flush dns, reset router, forget wifi and reconnect. APPLE PLEASE DO SOMETHING FAST!!!!
