After moving our silverlight application to a new server I came across an problem whereby the download progress indicator on the splash screen was stuck on 0% until the file had completely downloaded.

After about an hour of searching for the answer I realised that there is a distinct lack of help out there for this problem.

It is a simple fix:

1) On the server that is hosting your website, go into IIS and click on the website.
2) Click on the compression section
3) Un-check the option that says "Dynamic Content Compression"
4) Save changes
