guys, theres a bunch of reasons why installing slows down, among them files being fragmented, when the sd starts to fill up in general, when you already have a crapload of small files on it (like roms and stuff), when you didn't shutdown your 3ds in a while and so on and so on.
and thats usually the case across all installers. one may run faster than another, but in my experience, its never a clear bbm or fbi or we.

only for dlc, bbm seems to work better, as in it usually works where fbi sometimes just doesn't install the dlc so it works.

so, move files to pc, format card and copy everything at once back to card?

I heaven't tried it myself, but you could try using CIAngel which downloads the CIA from Nintendo's servers and then you can install it (I'm pretty sure)
CIAngel used to work like that, but now it lets you download directly from the CDN and install it directly, it doesn't even convert it to a CIA!

My internet LITERALLY goes 10 to 20 kbps so this isn't a viable option. :/
I live in hell.
Thank you for the kindness and good suggestions. <3

Speedtest took FOREVER to load.
This picture took forever to upload.
The whole process (From loading the test to now) took around 35 minutes.

enjoy the peace and quiet!
The problem is that I never get to interact with other human beings. I'm not even exaggerating. It's an hour drive one way to the grocery store. We are broke from all of the gas money spent. I have no friends. No job. No social life.
Why do you think I'm on GBATemp all day?

I know people with hughesnet and its really really bad. Shit speeds, tiny data caps, dropped connections.
What I have is the same stuff, just a different data plan... you go over the cap and it stays at slower than 1g speeds for the rest of the month. (On the 16th it resets)
