16ngr1 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Didn't it say that it would download as fast as in like a minute or so? How come the speed here is so slow?

xilolee Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Download speed depends by your ISP bandwith and the servers bandwith from which you are downloading the file. As an example, if you have got 640kbit/s of downstream bandwidth from your ISP, your max download speed will be 80kB/s... But if server(s) bandwith (from which you are downloading the file) is 640kbit/s, you'll receive max 80kB/s, even if you have got 1Gbit/s (max download speed 128MB/s).

16ngr1 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 But how to test the server bandwidth/downstream bandwidth? How can I increase the bandwidth to download faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilolee Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 You can check your ISP bandwidth through any speedtest website present on the WWW, like as an example http://speedtest.net You can check the max download speed of a server simply downloading a file directly from that server. Anyway, if that server bandwidth is 80kB/s, and the file you are searching for is present only on that server, you can't in any way increase its speed.

16ngr1 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I know that website allows me to test speed, but in the download manager sometimes it downloads things at a good speed and then goes down to zero. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilolee Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Are you using any other softwares that are using your connection? P2P programs, as an example. Does your connection "go down" (loss of connection), when the download stops itself? Anyway, you could resume your download, if it stopped.
