Bro. Why is steam downloading 50Mbytes or 4XXMbits /s (normal speed) and Opera GX is 50 KILOBYTES. I am actually confused. I have no VPNs, no viruses, 30GB free storage. Can anyone tell me an actual fix?

@xtoponyt Download speed depends on a lot of factors, such as server bandwidth, number of simultaneous downloads from that server, if the server limits download speed or not, route to and from the server, etc

@xtoponyt Sometimes download speed issues can be caused by History for some reason. Goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData, clear history for all time, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, and delete the History file in the profile folder.

For the people who experienced slow downloads speed on opera gx, if you have an antivirus,especially avast try uninstalling it. I did that and my download speed went

Hello 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.

I've been using opera GX for a year now ever since 2023 I've only been able to install stuff in KB and it gets annoying as hell when you try and install ROMs it took me 5 hours to just install need for speed most wanted for the GameCube

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.

@starekss Probably because there is nothing to be done.

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