Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I'm trying to understand why I get such slow download speeds in my browser. I'm downloading a file of about 310MB, which should take 5 minutes or less, yeah? No. For some reason, my browser wants to download this at 16kb/s, which is nonsense because utorrent will get up to 5MB/s.


I've run a speed checker, and sure enough my browser is getting 1 megabit per second, so... 120kb/s. Since utorrent has shown that my machine can handle 5MB/s, what's wrong with my browser? I even tried Ninja Download Manager thinking it might help, but it's still at 16kb/s.

Any solutions or suggestions would help; I've tried looking around drivers and everything's up to date.
I asked this before and only one person responded, but in the example image they gave the slowest thing they had was 470kb/s. I'm not asking to tune up to high download speeds, but 16 kilobytes per second is inexcusably low and indicates that SOMETHING is wrong. I can't find what it is. Please offer suggestions.

I assume the issue is something under the hood like registry or drivers.
