Poor internet performance in web browsers is a common issue.
Poor internet performance in web browsers is a common issue.
Hello. I'm facing an issue with downloading large files. I'm trying to get a 12GB ZIP archive from a website. This is my first attempt using Chrome, and the download speed never exceeded 150kb/s. That's really slow considering my 10 megabit connection and typical speeds of up to 1.2 mb/s. I don't have an antivirus installed. I've tried Chrome and Firefox too, but the speed remained the same. When I started a Steam download in parallel with the archive, it reached about 800 kb/s, while the browser download slowed down. I suspect there might be a speed limit involved. Thanks for any help you can offer.
ISPs seldom disclose the exact bandwidth you’re charged for (especially in the U.S.). The problem might stem from the site itself, particularly if it’s a small platform or friend-hosted. Ensure your router connection is solid, your device isn’t outdated, and you haven’t exceeded your monthly data limit.
I discovered a completely different solution on Google Drive. The download speed was affected by a website problem.
