@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.

@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?
