I am trying to download the sim, however everytime I do I get the warning that It was unable to download the file and will try again soon. Hangs there for a good 5 minutes, then I'm pretty sure it just skips it and moves on, downloads a few more files and then hangs again.

Lines from install log:

0:15:03.825 E/INS: Server  hit error Timeout was reached and will time out for 10.000000 seconds.  Error count is now 1.

Any advise?

I'm having the same issue. X-plane claim it is a local problem. I'm not convinced, but they are less than helpful on the phone.

The internet connection is dropping so the installer can't continue to download files. I would recommend installing little to no scenery to start with so you can get flying at least. You can add scenery at any time later.
