Symptoms
Chrome/Edge download dialog never increases beyond 0%, or shows “Waiting for network.”
Notification states “Downloading…” indefinitely, even on Wi-Fi.
Windows shows “Calculating time remaining” but 0 B/s speed.
Quick fixes
Remove the unfinished APK/EXE, then clear browser cache/download history so the next attempt starts fresh.
Airplane mode ON/OFF (mobile) or reboot router (Wi-Fi). This refreshes the route to the CDN.
Wi-Fi → Advanced → DNS 1 1.1.1.1, DNS 2 1.0.0.1. Mobile data → APN → set custom DNS if supported.
Retry using the Singapore/Delhi mirrors listed on the direct download page.
Why it happens
| Cause | Symptoms | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| ISP DNS filter | Download never starts, but other sites work | Change DNS (1.1.1.1), use no-VPN guide |
| Cached partial file | Retry immediately returns to 0% | Delete file, clear cache, restart browser |
| Peak congestion (7–11 PM) | Speed shows 0 B/s; mirrors respond slowly | Schedule 7–11 AM or 2–5 PM downloads |
| Mirror throttle | Mirror shows response but no data | Switch to the other mirror or main CDN |
Download managers
aria2c \
https://mirror1.../1xbet.apk \
https://mirror2.../1xbet.apk \
--max-tries=3 --auto-file-renaming=false
aria2 tries each mirror in order and resumes automatically.
Scheduling
| Time (BST) | ISP load | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 07:00–11:00 | Low | Best window. Set reminders to download here. |
| 14:00–17:00 | Medium | Good fallback when morning not possible. |
| 19:00–23:00 | High | Avoid if possible; use mirrors + DNS change if forced. |

We recommend downloading in one go. If you must pause, use a download manager that verifies the hash afterward.
No. Clearing cache/history or using incognito/another browser is enough in most cases.
