So @dtorres553 and @BernardoCoppe So my problem was beacuse of turned on VPN. Back when I wrote this post I had accidently VPN put on Asia. But VPN still doesn't work perectly, even on optimal location, so try just turning it on. It worked in my case So the question here should be why VPN slows internet down so much? (Sorry for my bad english)

Hello,
recently I am having some issues with downloading files from the opera GX browser. When i do my internet test on Ookla, it said 30 mb download and about 15mb upload, but when i am downloading, it even drops to 300kb, does anyone know any fixes or something to stabilize my internet connections?

So basically, I've been trying to download some stuff on Opera GX but honestly, it's really slow. I'm using speedtest and the results say my internets at 60MB download, 75MB upload.

When trying to download something, Opera says it's 70 KBPS. Now as you can tell that's obviously a huge difference, and I don't have any VPN or anything on. It's my main internet connection.

Any reason on why this happens? Really annoying.

@wwwdotoperadotcom This was happening to a user a while back and it turned out to be Windows Defender's real-time protection that was causing the issue. I think the user installed a different anti-virus (which disabled Windows Defender) and it solved the problem. If I remember correctly, Windows Defender didn't affect Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers. It was just Opera.

Hello,
I have a problem with downloading files on Opera Gx. It downloads a file with 100kB/s and my internet (tested) is around 90mbps. I turned off all extensions, turned off Vpn, turned off Windows defender, turned off my other antivirus program. When I'm downloading on steam I have at least 10mbps. I can't find the issue. Thanks

I've decided to download audio drivers from realtek(https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/pc-audio-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software the one that weighs 258mb), i have 90+ mb/s internet speed, both upload and download, tested with speedtest by ookla. But this 258mb is taking 4 hours and the speed of this download is 19kb/s on average. I don't have vpn turned on nor do i have bandwith limits set.

@friendlyone As you should already know, getting your full download speed when downloading something from a site will always be an exception.

Try downloading in a different time of the day. How is the download speed in other browsers?

For some reason GX is throttling my download.
I do not have VPN or Network limiter on.
I saw a different thread claiming that microsoft defender was the problem, but that is not relevant here, as I am already using a 3rd party software.

Any suggestions?
I've tried with different servers, and no matter which, its only limited in GX.

@10inchesunbuffed Even if you test using the same server, the results are similar?

I also use Opera GX and my network plan is currently on the highest plan. But the download speed is really slow.
