Depends on where you're downloading from, the location of the download, and how much the host limits the download speed. ect

I don't know from where but the host made it like 40min.
I'll test it with another download.

Ahh i guess that was the problem.
I didn't know the location of the download could effect the download speed :(
Thanks Clover.

You will never download at that speed. I average at 1.5mb when I do a speed test but I never download at more than ~250kb/s

That's because internet speed is measured in megabits (marketing scam). While torrenting, browsers, etc show megabytes. Basically 1 megabit = 0.125 megabytes.
