There are some downloading issues on Sky Q & Sky+ platforms which Sky are aware of and trying to fix. They have updated their status page as per this link

Re: Download Failed technical fault

Are there no Sky Employees monitoring these chats to provide updates.  I have emailed CEO..enough is enough now... we are paying thru the nose for an inferior service, whilst Sky plough all their efforts into Glass and Stream..ignoring Sky Q or older customers.  Not interested in investing time on old technologies when they have shiny new toys to play with and sell.  

 

Thats 2 big issues now that i have..along with others clearly.

Re: Is failure to download the new non-stacking?

I watched Resident Alien S2 E3 and every episode before absolutely fine, now all I get it is 'failed to download.' I've tried restarting Q twice, deleting programs, must have tried a dozen times to download over last few days and it just fails. Phones Sky and the wait is 40 minutes which I'm not prepared to wait.  🤨

Mines the same - resetting doesn’t work (so please stop advising people to do this). This is also flagged as answered - which is alao

misleading. It is clear that this is a significant fault with sky - they should be providing updates to their customers- not some fluffy message saying some users may experience a problem.  Well over 24 hours now.

That post is marked as the answer so that you and other posters can see at a glance that Sky are aware of it and working on it, to stop the need for reading 250+ posts.

Re: Download Failed technical fault

Hey everyone!!

 

im having the same issue 🥹😩😩!!! 
Started from lastnight! Started brassic, now it won't let me download anymore episodes. 
I've had,

-"failed download". 

- started downloading which took forever which resulted in a frozen screen. 
- downloaded 202%
- "because of technical issues your download couldn't be complete, please try again later" 

BUT I've just managed to download a film for sky cinema no problem (to test to see if was downloads of everything) 

Has anyone got the answer please?

Hi @Lance+W 

Assume you have looked on the forum and seen all the posts and threads about the current issue with Downloads?

Also see the link below

Cannot download all of a sudden in either main sky q box or any mini boxes.

All of a sudden we're unable to download on programmes on either main sky q box or any of the mini boxes. 
Just comes up with 'download failed' almost immediately, on any box and with any programme.

Has anyone else had this?
