Does anyone here know if nintendo switch games download faster while in sleep mode and docked mode? There are some videos on youtube of people claiming that they do and I was wondering if anyone on here has tried this or can verify that this is accurate information.

Disclaimer: I personally have not tried this so I can't verify if it is true or not, but I can see some different things online and I will try my best to explain what I've seen.

Fist of all, this article: https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/does-the-nintendo-switch-download-faster-in-sleep-mode-2950839
^^ talks about the subject and claims that while in sleep mode and docked, their nintendo switch was able to download game titles about 15% faster than while not. They tested the theory themselves and that is what they determined. Also, they share this video which apparently they got the original concept from:

So then it is true!! So for bigger titles that take a long time, it is best to put the console into sleep mode and then let the games download from there.
