I did a speed test a couple seconds ago and it says my download speed is 1250 kb/s but whenever i download something the fastest speed it goes to is 160 kb/s. I took off the 20% bandwidth that microsoft takes but it stays at 160 kb/s. How can i improve my internet speed?

When you are downloading anything, the file transfer speed is also controlled by the upload server and network you are connected to. Some network controls the amount of bandwidth allocated to each connected computer. Remember that there are probably hundreds/thousands of other people connected to that same server, just like you.

The first thing is to make sure you are reading it right. There are 8 bits in a Byte so if you are reading 1250 kilobits and then 160 KiloBytes, they are the same,

has nothing to do with your computer when you download speed is controled by the otherone pushing the file to you
you can run 2 download programs same computer same time then it will download more downloading is not controled by you only if your sharing a file you can select how much speed you want or mb per sec to push off in some download programs if y share they speed up---warned not legal only download freeware or share freeware
