The download speed is 1/10 slower compared to speedtest. Why does this happen? (Network limiter and VPN is closed)
That’s kilobytes/s. The speed test measures in Megabits/s, not megabytes/s.
My download speed in opera for larger files is bad too
There can be a thousand of different reasons. But just like a comment said below, there’s a difference in the units used to measure internet speed. Another reason is that the source (where you’re downloading it from) could have a bandwidth limit, just like Mega.nz has a limit… It could be limiting the download speed to 1,330 KB/s. Although I’m pretty sure it’s really 1/10 slower… Since 80Mbps is 10MB/s and you’re getting 1MB/S. So, does that happen to other downloads?
Don’t use opera vpn, it sucks. It only has 4 different locations and they are based in specific areas of an entire continent. Try finding a vpn that supports the nearest servers in your area.
Speedtest is megaBITS per second download is megaBYTES per second. One megabyte equals 8 megabits
But in steam, it downloads 10 MB/s the problem is on opera.
