Slow updates and loading
When starting TPV, I find the updates take a VERY long time to download and install. In particular, the download runs at only 1-5 MBPS, even while connected to ethernet on a gigabit connection (measured at 250-300 MBPS on Speedtest at the same time as the download is happening). My Chrome browser is also slowed dramatically when TPV is updating, to the point where nothing loads. A setting on my system or a TPV issue - I don't know. If it's an issue you can fix, please do!

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
The updater is designed to download multiple files in parallel - the amount of parallelization is determined by the available resources on your computer. On a typical desktop with a Gigabit connection, downloads normally complete in 30 seconds or less.
If it is taking significantly longer than this, then TPV is probably not being permitted by your computer to run the download in parallel. That could be a permissions issue, or some other such restriction on your device.
