Hi, I am having download issues with Firefox. For a long time now it's download speed has been limited to 1.4MB/s! I've been using http://speed.hetzner.de for testing, and some others. Chrome reaches more than 4MB/s. However, if I run a speed test on speedtest.net, It shows my actual speed, approximately 80Mbps. (It's actually 100mbps)

Speedtest and downloading from sites are not equal and shouldn't use to make comparisons. So unless others can get a sample links of the problems to test this will be hard to know if server or ISP issues or something else.

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