This isn’t a new installation all I’m trying to achieve is to move BIAB (plus it’s library) from one SSD to larger SSD within my Mac system.

It’s taken BIAB Install manager 48 hours to download the following
Band-in-a-Box 2021 Full (Mac)
This is the main Band-in-a-Box application installer. 1.90 GB
Hi-Q Instruments for Sforzando (Mac) 736 MB
2021 Bonus 0-PAK (Mac) 188 MB
Artist Performances Full (Mac) 1.82 GB
MIDI SuperTracks Sets 10-17 (Mac) 303 MB
RealTracks Shots Holds Loops and Reamped (Mac) 6.73 GB
RealDrums Sets 1-29 (Mac) 2.99 GB


Earlier today I downloaded an East West library “Voices Of Opera” 40.36 GB without any issues in around 30 minutes. I've tested the speed of my internet which is 117.4 Mbps download - 75.4 Mbps upload, there are no restrictions from my internet provider on downloads. I have a state of the art iMac running the latest version of OS, with 128 GB of Ram, a shed load of available storage plus a fast internet connection directly hard wired to ethernet. Could someone please advise me on why it’s so slow? If I was to continue downloading the additional Real Track Sets the ETA would be a week! Is there anyway I could speed this process up?

Help would be immensely appreciated before I go bonkers.

First, you can simply copy the Band-in-a-Box folder from the /Applications folder of one drive to another. It needs to go in the Applications folder, so create this folder if there isn't one.

Second, if you DO want to use the Install Manager, you can and I would expect it to show close to 100mbps (top right of the GUI) assuming you aren't downloading anything else. It may have been a temporary problem at our end - not sure - but I would quit the current session and run it again, and see what happens...
