I can not download files in Windows 8.1.
First, downlaod speed decreases to 10-20KB/s. Than it drops to zero. I think it is about security settings. But I could not detect which setting cause this.
I googled it, but neither of solutions worked for me.
Specs:
My computer is a desktop PC with ethernet connection. It was downloading files perfectly 1-2 days ago. Now, it changed behavior.
Since I could not install my sound card driver, I have disabled group policies (or something else I could not remember) because the driver was not certificate. I did this the day I installed Windows 8 (this saturday)
I removed the anti-virus program (Avast).
I got 2.1MB/s when downloading torrent but 10Kb/s when downloading a file.
Tried Solutions:
- Disabled Large Send OffLoad and Checksum offload
- Flushed DNS
- Changed power settings to maximum
The files I tried to download: http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/project/choco/choco/2.1.5/choco-2.1.5.zip http://www.diku.dk/~rfonseca/ProGAL/ProGAL.jar

1Please provide more information. Is this a personal computer? Nothing by in a default installation of Windows would explain this behavior. Are you saying it does work then, then suddenly, does not work? – Ramhound – 2014-05-22T20:18:05.600
1"I googled it, but neither of solutions worked for me" doesn't help us any, nor does it count as showing research effort. :) What solutions did you try exactly? What were the results? Does it behave the same way in Safe Mode? How about when logged in as a different user? Did it EVER work right? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-05-22T20:22:07.273
Sorry for the lack of information @techie007. I updated it now. – padawan – 2014-05-22T20:27:47.773
1No problems, but can you answer these two though: Does it behave the same way in Safe Mode? How about when logged in as a different user? Additionally, if it worked 3 days ago, have you tried using a System Restore to go back to 3 days ago? If you're using a router between you and your ISP's equipment, have you tried removing it from the setup and hooking the PC to the ISP's equipment directly? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-05-22T20:31:40.457
@techie007 After finishing my downloads (if I can), I will try those and post the results. – padawan – 2014-05-22T20:33:02.253
