My download currently maxes out at 3mbyte/sec. I have a connection that is capable of 150mbit/sec download. I confirmed this by doing a speedtest:
However, when I download something from an FTP server or try a test-download from some test server, the speed always maxes out at 3mbyte/sec.
However, this should be higher, because 150 megabits/sec bandwidth should amount to something like 18 Megabytes/sec download speed (or maybe a little bit less if you subtract some overhead).
I already moved from wifi to an ethernet connection, to no avail. I disabled my firewall and real time antivirus. I used different ethernet-cables and different LAN-ports on the backside of my modem.
I don't know what limits my download speed. And I dont understand why the speedtest shows much higher speed. I am also quite sure that it has nothing to do with network card drivers since the issue appears for both the WiFi and the Ethernet connetions.
Two things that I can only try tomorrow when I am back home:

- try to download with a bootable linux version
- try to download with a different laptop
