I’m not technically-minded when it comes to computer hardware or software so I can’t figure out if I have an issue, and if I do, how to resolve it. I use Free Download Manager (FDM) on any site that allows its use. I don’t download multiple files at once, I just use it to queue up a bunch of downloads so that I don’t have to sit at the computer all day. My internet service has download speeds of 15MB/sec but with FDM I only get speeds of 1800KB/sec. Does anyone know if the download speed is capped or regulated within FDM? Can it be changed? If so, how? I suspect that it’s a setting in FDM since this is the same speed I get with every site. I’ve been through the tools and options settings but can’t find anything. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks! | |

More than likely it's just your internet company slowing you down or the site itself slowing you down. I now show 29.5MB/s but I rarely go over 2.5 MB/s. On FDM, at the top just under the "help" menu option there are 3 buttons, light mode, medium mode, heavy mode. Light and medium do regulate the speed. So make sure it's in heavy mode. You can also click options at the top left hand side and you'll see "traffic usage mode" hovering the mouse over it will show you light mode, medium mode, heavy mode also. I've tried everything to increase my speeds, but it seems to be a combination of sites capping how fast you can download and internet providers doing the same. Where you will see sites doing it are the ones that one file downloads at 600 kb/s. Open a second download and it goes to 600 kb/s. When one finishes, instead of the remaining one picking up that 600 kb/s from the finished one it stays at 600 kb/s. I did find that IDM gives a slight boost to speed on some sites, but it costs $25 I think after the trial. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk | |

Thanks for the information on this. I'll keep browsing around the options and tools and I might find something. If I'm capped, I suspect it's my ISP doing it since every site I've joined since going with fibre op downloads at exactly the same speed. Unless there is a secret porn industry club where they decided this it's too much of a coincidence. Thanks again. | |
