Download speed spikes



The 2019 Stack Overflow Developer Survey Results Are InSlow Browsing/Direct Download, but Fast Bittorrent DownloadWhat are some options for transfering large files without using the Internet?usenet server uses more bandwidth then I can measureI am supposed to get download speed of 150KB/s but I am getting 10MB/s for some sites. How come?How fast would torrents be at 10 mbpsGetting fairly low internet speedExtremely Slow SMB transfersServer download speed varying depending on locationInternet speed lower than Speedtest.net results during actual downloadSlow Internet normally but VPN makes it fast

My download speeds drop to about 1 kbps then spike to between 200 kbps and 500 kbps then drop to about 1 kbps for about 5 seconds before it spikes again.



But if I surf the internet i get speeds between 700 kbps and 1 Mbps.



How can I get my downloads speeds consistent even if I do not get the full 700 kbps - 1 Mbps.
How can I get it to maintain descant speeds?



Would this be a weird setting on my computer or a problem with my ISP?

Try a continuous ping and see if any packets are lost. From the command prompt type




Ping -t 8.8.8.8




Let it run for a few minutes.



Then do this again to your router (type ipconfig from the command prompt to get the gateway IP and then ping that for a few minutes in the same way.

Compare the results. This will inform you if the loss is between you and the router or between your router and the Google DNS (8.8.8.8)
