Hello,

If you experience such problems, answers to these questions can help to resolve the issue or create a good report to the developers, so they can understand the reason and try to fix it.

1. Is your current traffic usage mode set to High? Is Snail mode turned off? Did you ever change settings of High traffic usage mode? Setting maximum number of connections settings to too low values can dramatically decrease downloading speed.

2. Antivirus/Firewall software can interfere with FDM. Do you use any of them? You also can check this by uninstalling them (just disabling them can be not enough).

3. What is the type of your Internet connection (Dial-Up/DSL/Cable/Satellite/etc.)? Is the connection with your network device (e.g. router) wired or wireless (e.g. Wi-Fi)?

4. Make sure it's not a problem of the server you download from. Can your web browser download faster from the same server to the same location? Are you downloading from YouTube? There is a known issue that YouTube servers can decrease download speed (this is by design and can't be fixed on FDM side).

5. Make sure the device you download to is capable of writing at good speeds. E.g. if you download on a slow flash drive, the download speed will be slow even in case your Internet connection's speed is much higher.
