 ### Manual Installation
 
+!!! bug "Manual Installation is not recommended"
+    We recommend using the FlyByWire Installer for the best download and installation experience. The Installer uses the 
+    Cloudflare CDN to ensure fast downloads and also download smaller chunks of the file to ensure more stability during 
+    the download process.
+
+    Manual download is done from GitHub, which can be slower and less reliable. 
+
+    Especially during a build and upload of the master branch the manual download can be tricky as files might be 
+    missing or being changed during the download process.
