The issue could be on the server end. This is a very large game to download, even updates can be huge.

Just give it some time.
Just to give a perspective I have been downloading it for two hours now at this speed. I don't know much about networking, could it cause it to move this slow?

Yes. I have 1.2 Gbps service and it took quite a while for the initial download....Then there are the many updates.

Your patience will pay off if your game rig is up to the task, if you are a FS fan.

I am a terrible sim pilot. I have the game to help my FiL (avid sim flyer) when he needs assistance from afar troubleshooting things.
