So I noticed Farcry 4 was on sale for $23/$24 as part of Xbox's Summer Savings event and decided to buy it.
Long story short, the game absolutely refused to download even after tinkering with network settings and calling Xbox Support. Within 25/30 minutes of talking to support online, they issued me a full refund for the game, which I promptly spent on World of Tanks (which was the original reason for buying Xbox credit).
I noticed Farcry 4 was still tagged as purchased and I still had the option to download it, so I did. Same as before, it just sat at 0% and refused to do anything. I gave up and turned my console off. Woke up this morning to Farcry fully downloaded and playable in my library. Turns out I still have background downloading enabled, so while I was asleep, the game was actually able to complete downloading.
I had this exact same issue with AC3, but was never able to resolve it. Turns out all that needs to be done with your downloads that automatically cancel is enable background downloading and shut down your console.
