Windows 10: Most downloads limited to ~10mbps.

Certain actions, primarily involving downloads, seem to be limited to about ~10mbps 1mB/s. My internet speed is 1gig up/down, and I achieve about 700mbps up and Any website download is limited, and some downloads through game launchers such as updates.Download boosters and speed test do not seem to be limited. Speedtest-dot-net for example works fine, Steam steampowered works as well. Other install platforms.I'm on an ethernet connection, and I have tried different cables and ports on the router. I also have a WiFi adapter on the computer experiencing the issue and it too is limited to 10

Ethernet is Limiting download to 10Mbps

You may have to force both the router or switch port and the computer's Ethernet adapter to 100Mbps full duplex. But in my experience, some switch / Ethernet connections prefer and will run faster, with less errors, if both are set to Auto, rather than forced.
It is years ago since I looked at this though, as I always just let them use defaults at home.

I would suspect the cable also, as was already suggested. Even wireless is much faster than 10Mbps these days. My Realtek PCIe Family Controller is connected to Ethernet at 1Gbps.

Do you have some old switch between that might only be capable of 10Mbps?

It is also possible that connectivity has been limited per device by some router setting.

 

Download speed limited to 10Mbps







Download speed limited to 10Mbps on steam.

I think this problem also occure on other programs like Uplay etc.. but the main problem is that now my steam download is pretty "slow".

Maybe there is a setting limiting my download speed , i have no idea.

(Also download speed is not limited on steam itself)
