The issue isn't the download speed. It's the total bandwidth limit enforced by Dropbox. It's super low (from http://lifehacker.com/5704367/what-are-dropboxs-bandwidth-limits http://lifehacker.com/5704367/what-are-dropboxs-bandwidth-li... ): > According to Dropbox support, public links for free accounts may not use more than 10GB of bandwidth per day while that limit is 250GB per day for paid Dropbox accounts.
