If you are experiencing a download issue, i.e. slow/unresponsive, we recommend checking the Epic Games server status.
This can be done via the Epic Games Server Status page to make sure all systems are operational. If the Epic Games Launcher is affected by an outage or system-wide issue, your issue may be fixed when the problem is resolved.
