Computer wont download filed but internet speed is fine

Incorrectly set up firewalls can also cause issues. In your firewall software, make sure no settings are active that might block downloads. Temporarily disabling the firewall will allow you to diagnose whether or not this is the source of your connection woes. Incorrect Internet settings within Windows also cause problems. Try resetting these settings to their default state. Open "Control Panel," and select "Network and Internet.

Towards the bottom of the window, click on the "Reset" button. Check "Delete personal settings," and click "Reset. Malware may disrupt your Internet connection if your computer becomes infected, so try installing and running anti-virus software to check for infections.

Disabling this feature will definitely limit your Internet speeds. Auto-tuning is consistent throughout all variants of TCP and present in all modern operating systems. This worked for me. Extremely low. This article proved to be a timely find.

Made this change; system now stable touch wood! And the internet speed, which before had seemed quite noticeably sluggish compared to my other devices, is as good as the rest.

Setting this to disabled caused a massive drop in speed for me. Setting back to normal return normal speed. When connected to the hotspot, I received very slow internet speeds when using Firefox v53 or Chrome v58 but other internet applications, including IE and Edge worked fine. Note that connecting through this hotspot used to work just fine, so I am unsure if it this was due to an upgrade in WIndows 10, or the recent upgrade to IOS, or possibly something in the Vodafone network.

A dramatic improvement. I am just glad I found this article and solved a long running mystery. Thank you so much for this, for about a week i was wondering why my speed was so slow, my other devices had fast speed.

For some reason i have to keep doing this occasionally. Does anyone know why it is not permanent for me? It is happening almost once a day. My windows 10 computer is set up to dual boot with Linux.

This fixed my packet loss issue in online gaming. Thank you so much! Thank you, I found this setting disabled after just getting mbit fibre installed. Windows was limiting me to around mbit. I tested my networked cables with iperf and they are good for mbit.
