I was trying to download a 1.5gb file and im only getting 200kbps on google chrome yesterday i downloaded game updates on steam and it was fine but for some reason today my ethernet download speed is 200kbps on my 2 pcs and my laptop has 20mbps (i have 68mbps normally on my pc) and its on wifi how do i fix this?
 
Game downloads, steam, etc, aren't reliable tests. What if a new patch comes out and 1,000,000 people are trying to update at the same time. Going to be slower than 100 people downloading it. Running a speedtest from speedtest.net from both PC's and a laptop one after another will give better results.

[quotemsg=19340005,0,69500]Then nothing is wrong. The site supplying the download is only putting out 200kbps. Is what it is. Use a download manager maybe to help, but that's about it. Speed test says 68mbs, so all is good.[/quotemsg]

I kinda figured im downloading from sammobile cause i want to see if my s4 lags on stock rom (only works on custom rom for some reason so im trying again literally cannot use the phone stock)

if i recall, they want you to subscribe to their site for premium downloads, so is what it is.

so i went and grabbed a random download that was big just to test and seems like my internet is fluctuating but i cannot tell im really mad cause i wanna test the rom but my amazing guess is its still busted cause if it didnt work stock when i reset it no way it would work by trying again (phone freezes when opening and restarts only stable on custom roms)
