geraldsc last edited by leocgHello I had a query currently I have the opera gx but the downloads are slow when I normally hurt me at 320kb / s approx now I go from 50 and from there it does not happen, review delete cokies, cache and nothing, I do not use vpn and say sincerely I do not know that it is because I tried in the chrome and if they are normal.

@geraldsc Download speed depends on a lot of factors such as, for example, the server capacity, if it limits download speed or not, how many downloads are being made from the server at that moment. If your antivirus checks the file while being downloaded, if the site benefits browsers. etc.
Anyway, check if VPN isn't enabled by chance.

Same issue as everyone else. Funny part is that if you look up, it is the exact same guy, replying to everyone with the same generic bs. This browser always had issues with downloads, and they did nothing about it.

@leocg for me atleast it depends on the router i use because rn i'm at home and the speed was at a smooth 200 to 300kb yes moroccan internet is absolute garbage but then it dropped to 20 to 30 kb and it also depends on if i have the download preview thing up because if i dont its actually really fast like 45% if the time also when i went to my grandmas house and used their router my speed was at a consistent 300 to 400 kb

@deivanna Goto the URL
opera://settings/downloadsand change the download location to a difference folder. "C:\Users\yourusername\DownloadsTest" for example. -

@neelunni2009 This topic is not about that. Anyway, try using the offline installer.

I use opera on mobile and I only get around 100 kb/s when I have 1gb internet speed, my VPN is off too. A 1gb download takes 8-14 hours. Can someone help me?

I stumbled upon this thread thinking that my issue was related to Opera GX but it turned out to be related to a network adapter configuration.
For those on Windows who are seeing this you might want to try turning off MIMO power save mode for your network adapter. You can do it this way:
Device Manager -> [your network adapter] -> Properties -> Advanced -> MIMO Power Save Mode -> No SMPS
I hope this helps some people
