Very Slow Downloading to Phone

Solved!

Very Slow Downloading to Phone

Spotify has slowed to a snails pace at downloading songs to my iphone 4s. I made sure that I didn't have it set to EXTREME sound quality and still it is VERY slow almost painful to even use. Will have to reconsider using Spotify if this keeps up.

From what ive read seems like the server of spotify in the country/region/time where/when you are trying to download is overloaded, so:

 

download a vpn and choose another country . And if you have a fast connection to the internet enjoy downloading 111 songs in 4-5 mins 🙂

 

Btw im not working for them .
