Ok, so I have a puzziling question(to me) maybe somebody can explain/figure out.
I have a 100mbps internet connection from my ISP. My internal network speed is 1Gbps(therefore, my network cards/router/switch/etc. are all more than capable of handling 100mbps). Anyway, when downloading large files from the internet on my laptop(~2GB file), it crawls at about 20mbps download speed. When I run speedtest.net on the same computer, it says I'm getting my full 100. Yet, the moment speedtest.net starts its upload test, my download speed for the file from chrome jumps up to 100mpbs. Now explain that to me 🤣. I have a full-duplex network card as well. Not sure why uploading data speeds up my download on Chrome.
