Same in China. The Chinese firewall throttles TCP connections making direct downloads very slow. Not uncommon to have an unbearable slow connection while browsing web pages and then when starting a torrent download, you immediately get 2 Megabytes per second download speeds here. A tip is to use a tool like axel (https://github.com/eribertomota/axel https://github.com/eribertomota/axel) to do direct downloads. This will usually speed it up.

>My name is Eriberto and I am not a C developer. I imported Axel from its old repository[1] to GitHub (the original homepage and developers are inactive) Uh oh. Thanks to the repo owner for updating the README, but that's not a good situation. I'd also like to suggest aria2c for this purpose: https://aria2.github.io/ https://aria2.github.io/
