· Jeff, I'm having the exact same issue. I have a large folder cut into 2 gig rar pieces. Where previously, I could download files simultaneously, I now can't seem to have more than one downloading, and even then sometimes the single file download . When you download files, you are downloading packets of data. The larger the file, the more number of packets it is broken into. As you download the file, it takes the path of least resistance. The larger then number of packets, the more chance one of those paths turns out to be a dead end, which means the message has to be retransmitted. · Downloads from large companies are often handled by Content delivery networks like Akamai, Amazon Web Services etc. If your problem is intermittent, it may be that their servers close to you are overloaded, or having a problem.

There are two ways of downloading files. One is just reading the content as-it-is, from the beginning to the very end. In this case the download speed is mostly stable (you can check it by just downloading a file using an internet browser). More advanced programs (like torrents, steam and some download managers) have a smarter way of doing that. Here are some common reasons why download speeds can be slow even with fast internet: You’re on Wi-Fi and the signal is weak (switch to ethernet instead). Your home network is busy (wait until it’s quieter or use QoS settings). If the file you are attempting to download is popular or was recently released, the server could be overloaded with simultaneous user requests or be experiencing problems. Try downloading the file at a later time, when the server load may be less or the server problems are resolved.
