I'm running Win 10 Pro on a ThinkPad 430T i5 CPU, connected to my router via ethernet LAN. The router is directly connected to a cable modem. The internet service is from Charter/Spectrum and is provisioned to be maximum 400 Mbps down and 20Mbps up. Running speedtest.net on Firefox gives me around 150Mbps to 190Mbps down and always close to 23Mbps up. When I run the same speedtest.net on the same PC attached by the same cable to the LAN, but using Firefox under Linux Mint 20.3, I consistently get 440Mbps to 460Mbps down and again around 23Mbps up.

Internet Downloads

Thanks all for the useful suggestions, i certainly can understand the idea of refreshing downloads. I wish Firefox had that little button lol. Now i'll try and download Warrock (a great FREE game) with download manager though (annoyingly) firefox is now downloading without buggering up!
I just did a few spyware scans which though didn't stop the probs it probably did stop all thoses bloody programs from using the internet and slowing it down.
