Why are some apps slow when everything else is fast?
Why are some apps slow when everything else is fast?
Hi everyone, I'm having a weird problem with my new computer. I hope the community can help me out. Even though Steam downloads are super fast and other speed tests show good speeds, when downloading from certain websites or sites like NordVPN, I get very slow speeds (around 300kb/s). I get about 20 MB/s on Steam but thought some internet download was also pretty quick, yet the NordVPN installer download in Firefox is slow too. It's the same issue with Stellseries Engine downloads. I don't have any idea what to look for or where this mismatch comes from. I even tried different browsers, and Edge had the same slow download speeds.
Spoiler: Some technical details
Connection speed (Download/Upload): 1000/1000 Mbps
Primary DNS Suffix: fritz.box
Manufacturer: Realtek
Description: Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller Driver Version: 1125.13.424.2023
Hope someone knows how to fix it. Any advice, technical insights, or similar experiences would be really helpful. I look forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance! Best regards
