Esxi 6 download iso command line

Using the offline bundle works similar in the way of the command line but saves you from having to re-download the upgrade file for each VMware ESXi host. This is nice when you have more than just a couple hosts or limited bandwidth.

I am also unable to stop the command using CTRL-c. In case anyone else experiences this, I can confirm it just takes a long time. About 15 minutes on one of my hosts. This process is taking a seriously long time. Hours and hours.

Anyone know why the downloads are so insanely slow? I can fetch one of those zip files in less than a second from another machine on the same network.
