you set a different number of upload/download connections and speed limit) that could also cause difference in transfer speed. After googling for solutions, I tried a number of tweaks commonly suggested around the web: Change DNS hosts. If the MEGAsync speed settings differs from the website settings (i.e. office) you may find out that it is the opposite at another connection point (ie. Also, your browser's access to internet websites will be limited, with the possibility of losing connectivity. Besides that, If your computer is infected with a virus, it will slow down. If transfers through HTTP might have problems (due to a firewall issue for example) and HTTPS is much faster at one connection point (ie. It could be that you have added virus protection software, browser or multimedia add-ons, or search bars to your toolbar. Another difference is that the web uses HTTPS for transfers while MEGAsync uses HTTP by default (despite it can be changed in settings).įor some users one of them could provide higher speeds. So the main difference is HOW they calculate the speed, not necessarily in the final transfer speed and time result itself.Ģ. However when analysing the speed measured by the operating system, in both cases the speed pattern seems to be similar (despite the web and MEGAsync show different speeds). If the transfer starts very fast and then reduces the speed, the web would show a high speed during a longer period of time, while MEGAsync would almost immediately show the current speed. 800mbps is the speed of the packets from your ISP to your modem. The main difference in transfer speed statistics you have observed can be caused by the fact that MEGA on browser seems to be showing the mean speed during the whole transfer or during a longer syncing period while MEGAsync shows the mean speed during only the last 5 seconds. Answer (1 of 2): Have you measured your actual internet download speed at 800mbps from a server in the same area as the Steam server I’d guess not. Firstly do not confuse your connection (Mbps) with transfer speed (MB/s)!
