Odd download behaviour
I am running windows 7 pro 64bit and I use Internet Download manager to download files etc. Recently I have noted that a download commences fine at the max speed obtainable depending on time of day and around about 60-90% through the download it slows to almost ADSL speed. If I click pause on IDM and then resume, the download starts again at full speed until the conclusion. It is as though there is some sort of caching happening. I have contacted my ISP and they say that they are not doing anything to cause this, so then I contacted IDM and their techs advised that they have never seen this one before except with Antivirus possibly being the culprit. I disabled my Eset Internet Security and this made no difference. I even tried another download manager and the problem still existed. I have NBN 100/40.
I normally achieve around 12.0MB/sec during a download depending on site factors etc, but when the drop occurs, it always goes down to 1.7MB/sec.
I have tried downloads on my other computers and they are doing the same. Any suggestions much appreciated.
