Band width

Is it me??
My Internet has a good connection , but when I run fusion it really slows down....is this normal?

Doesn't sounds right. Can you tell me more about "it really slows down"? What slows down, Fusion 360 or doing other things on your computer that require the internet? Also do you know what type of speed you see from your computer when online? There are several tools online that will test your upload/download speeds.

I have 3 Mbps so pretty fast
Normally I listen to the radio online when I model but that day I couldn't get it, not even a google page
Fusion also had a lot of freezes that day, it just seemed it was taking all my bandwidth

Quick question:  Had you been running Fusion prior to the update this week?  And had you downloaded a lot of materials from Materials Exchange in the prior version?  The new version will update all your materials in the background, and that could be using up some capacity, although that process should finish and then give you back your bandwidth.  How long that takes will depend on how many materials need to be updatated, of course.  Let us know if it is not better today.

I think it must have been the update, all seems ok now
