How to fix Slow Downloads on MoonDL or TakeFile

In this article, we’ll explain why download speed issues occur and suggest solutions that might help you resolve this problem. You download all your files through file-sharing services, which have their own servers and make sure download speeds are as fast as possible—since that’s their main job. Let’s take a look at why this might not always be the case.

Reason:

Suboptimal internet traffic routing. Your provider and other networks choose a route to the server that goes through congested or problematic nodes. This happens due to backbone failures, routing errors (BGP), or traffic saving policies of operators.

Why is it different for everyone? The Internet consists of many networks. Even subscribers of the same provider can access the network through different routers, so the traffic path and, as a result, the speed may vary.

Solution:

Premium Subscription Required. Download speeds are limited on the free plan, so we recommend purchasing a Premium subscription right away. The only exceptions are our free trial files. 

Changing your IP address (reconnecting your router). You need to check your internet speed speedtest.net, since it determines your file download speed. If your speed is at least 10 Mbps but your download speed is lower, there’s a chance your internet service provider is throttling your connection, and you’ll need to change your IP address.

Using a VPN usually helps. A new IP may have a different, more direct route to the destination, bypassing problem areas.
