[SOLVED] Slow downloading speeds on some websites.

[Pokepunk]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, not sure where to post.

Quick question, I have around 970mb download speeds on speedtest.net. Most of the time, things download in a blink of an eye. but with some websites, files download around as little as >100kb/s. Is there anything I can do to combat this, or is it purely the fault of the website and I'm forced to deal with the sluggish speeds? Thanks!

There is probably nothing you can do. If major sites like microsoft download quick, then your limitation is the upload speed at the other end.

Usually the limit of the speed of the download is the site on the other side. But also keep in mind that the medium you're saving the file to may also play a part as small files these days don't save very quickly.
