Attempting to download a 200GB file from OneDrive on a Skinny wireless broadband connection. Speedtest shows a steady 40MB/sec download speed but the download on OneDrive is anywhere from zero to 2MB/sec and predicted time to download varies from days to weeks.

 

Any ideas? OneDrive doesn't have a limit set in its settings.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

[update] - was not logged into OneDrive with a Microsoft account - logged in and restarted and it is still slow but much better - now around 5-6MB/sec steady. Still way below the 40MB/sec Speedtest download speed.

Speedtest usually displays speeds in megabits per second (Mb/s). Downloads are normally measured in megabytes per second (MB/s). There's an 8x difference between the two, so your 5MB/s is probably 40Mb/s.
