I do not know why my netflix movies are taking ages to download, I’ve got stable and fast internet. What could be wrong?
A big cause of slow internet speed is having too many applications on your computer that are connecting to the internet, thus using up your bandwidth. To fix this problem, simply go to the task manager and end all applications and processes that are not necessary.
If you’ve checked for the above and you are good, the next thing you can do is check for viruses and malwares. They are notorious for slowing down the internet speeds of a computer. This is because most of them interfere with the performance of the device you’re using and monopolize the internet connection as they attempt to breach your network. To fix the problem, first ensure that you have an updated antivirus or anti-spyware program that is effective. You should also regularly scan for viruses and malware to remove any that might have found their way to your computer or device.
I sometimes experience this too, and it can be so frustrating. If you’re downloading movies directly from Netflix app, it’s possible that the system is still seeing the items as a stream, and therefore throttling your speed during the download. If this is the case, turning off data saver. I should also add that, if the device you are using for the downloads is connected to a WiFi, it would be a good idea to try it via LAN cable connection, if possible or try to reconnect. If your Wi-Fi is lagging behind, that could be why you’re having trouble downloading your Netflix movies on your device. Try removing interference issues from around your router or simply move your device closer to the router.
