Hello shempfailes, Do you have higher download speeds with other browsers?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.


This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
