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

@burnout426 Dont know how but this litteraly fixed it. Just made a seperate folder called Opera and shove my dls in there. Works even faster than edge

@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
