Their update server seems universally throttled. It should somehow selectively throttle, like default to a slow download but if the user is sitting right there and needs to use the damn laptop, allow a button to manually release throttling and download quickly.
I've had nothing but problems with win update. Since I've switched to the win10 alphabet version recently to get extended update support, update seems to fail and require manual download of update packages. It's been a real pain.
