Download speeds maxing out at 60kB/s

Hey everyone. I’ve been debating getting proton for about 6 months and finally last night I pulled the trigger. Well now trying to download things I’ve ran into a problem.

When downloading files any file or application from any source I’m getting a max of 60kB. But often it’s in the single digits.

How ever when I stream video I can stream a 4k video at 60fps and it is fine without stuttering.

I can’t find a solid solution online.

Since yesterdays outage, ProtonVPN servers in the US have been extremely slow and unusable. Usually I get 400mbps from the US servers. I am in the EU

What OS are you using? What connection protocol are you using? Are you using Secure Core?
