I went on speedtest and checked out my internet. It came back 850DL - 250UP. When i try and download anything off of Google Chrome its so slow. Its hovers around the 100kb-250kb mark. Does anyone know why and how to fix it pls.
Could be a few things.
Is your HDD/SSD near full capacity? You should try and maintain at least 15% free space on any drive
Speedtests are unrealistic of transfer speeds you will get from most websites because sites will have transfer rate caps to keep their bandwidth costs down.
There are many possibilities, the server maybe limit the download speed or chrome bad download speed. I prefer you to use Internet Download Manager...I have 890GB used of 1TB. Is Google Chrome just slow for downloading? I download 50GB games on Steam in like 30-45 mins.

Steam is different. What site are you downloading slow from?
Like I said most websites have caps on transfer rates
Google Chrome is the only one i am downloading slow from.
So you've tried downloading the same file from the same site using another browser?
I would start by clearing Chromes Cache via the advanced settings menu
I figured out what the site is. Something called UploadHub. Its like a MediaFire
Ok. Have you tried downloading from there with a different browser? Did you get faster speeds with another browser?
As I said, individual sites can and will limit download speeds for individual users to save bandwidth costs on there end.
What browser do you recommend?
