It seems like downloading files through the Android browser is crazy slow, in comparison to downloading the same file on my pc, using the same wifi connection.
Right now I'm downloading the latest nightly build of CM6, which is about 64Mb.
On my phone it's been going for about 8 minutes already, and it's at about 90%.
On my pc, it downloaded at about 500KB/sec, so about 2 minutes.
What's the deal?

I get download errors when downloading files large than 100mB, approx 90% of the time. It seems to vary when the download aborts 10, 20, 40, 90%. I use wifi, with a strong and stable connection. Running stock 2.3.3, rooted. It used to do it when I had Froyo too. Any suggestions?

Have you tried downloading using a different connection? Restart your router possibly?
Yes I have. Neither make a difference.
Hmmm. Have you done one if the modified pit files to expand the /cache

This sound like the wifi disconnect bug present on jvs/jvt, which is hardware related since not all cappys have it.
Go into your router settings and change your DHCP lease time to something other than forever. It's set to forever by default , change it to 2 weeks, apply the setting and reboot router. This method worked for the guys over on jvs/t so you could give it a shot and see if it helps.
I have checked forums on XDA and on the web but I have not found a solution to my issue. I have noticed that my HTC One is having trouble downloading files on my LAN from my home server. I have turned off the cell radio so it is only using my wireless router, but do not see a difference. When I do the same download on my wife's Galaxy Nexus or my daughter's Pantech Discover, I am able to download files at around 7 Mb/s. However on the HTC One, it begins to download at around 25 KB/s and works it way to 0 KB/s in about 20 secs then stops downloading. The downloading bar does not go away, it is stays up and continues to try to download but nothing happens.
I have tried using both ES File Explorer and ASTRO File Manager and they both give me the same results. Also, I have noticed when I download files from the web it starts out at around 5 Mb/s but then begins get slower and slower to about 300 KB/s.
Has anyone else noticed an issue with downloading files? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Has anyone else been able to to test this on their phone? Am I the only one with this issue? I am wondering if I have a bad phone...
not really sure what the issue is with my nook HD+ with CM10.1 but doing anything online with it is painfully slow. It doesn't disconnect but when I am browsing it takes forever to open a page and downloading apps from the play store is almost impossible. And by impossible I mean that after the first few MB of downloading, it stops downloading. I downloaded the Speedtest.net app and the ping speeds are decent and it will start to run but then it generally gets to around 30%-75% of the download before it stops and then it times out. I have uploaded a quick video of it to youtube so you can see what I am talking about.
Its so bad that it makes the tablet almost unusable and nothing else in the house has issues so whats up? I have dones asearch on google and on XDA and I can't find anyone else having an issue. I have the rom installed on the devices memory so it is not running off of an SD car or anything. I followed the "for dummies" walkthrough.

Please help
Fixed. For some reason my router didn't like the Nook
anyone else having trouble transferring files via AFT? after a minute or so, it'll say that I need to unlock my phone even though it's not. even while actively fiddling with it during file transfers, i get the same error message. makes it a hassle when transferring directories at a time for music since I have to unplug and plug back in again to get AFT working.
this happening to anyone else?

I gave up on AFT a long time ago, was always very unreliable with all devices I have used.
I suggest you take a look at airdroid. With 802.11ac Wifi I'm seeing 20MiB/s transfers all wireless while moving files from the browser (chrome) to the Nexus 6 all without having to plug anything anywhere. Convenient and fast.
I'm having no issue with AFT on the latest Yosemite OS.. I just got my Nexus 6 today and transfer all my stuff twice already. Because of the new update the phone had today. And I don't like updating on top of the old one. I like a fresh OS at every android release ?

It freezes up my MBP constantly. Incredibly frustrating utility.

Have OS X 10.9.5 and Nexus 6. But AFT shows "No Android device found" when connecting phone and Mac
for me on nexus 4 (croma 6.0.0.1) and osx 10.10.5 everything is well... but AFT don't see every directory and file!
if i use it under TWRP AFT see every single file!!??
why!?
I'm getting slow LAN transfer speeds on my Note 8 compared to my Note 4. I first noticed it when I would stream videos from my PC. The video would pause like it was buffering many times during playback. I figured it was just some setting in MX Player. After trying different players and still getting the same thing, I tried my Note 4 and it worked great like it always has.
So I transferred a file from my PC with Solid Explorer to each phone to compare the speeds. After 2 minutes of transfer I cancelled it and the average speed on my Note 4 was 1.72 MB/s and on the Note 8 it was 480 KB/s.
Anybody else have this problem? Hopefully it will get fixed in the next update.
I just saw the update after I posted, so I installed it and it's a little better, about 800 KB/s.
I would make sure my router is set to auto update and on the latest FW.
The thing is it only does it on the new phone and not the old one. Also, I have two routers because my house is fairly big and it does it on both of them.
Couple years ago my wifi stopped working on just updated phone and I couldn't fix it until I logged on to router and found out the factory setting was not to update. Updated router and never had problem again. Easy thing to check and eliminate and I haven't seen any widely reported problems, mine works fine, so it has to be something specific to you: router, wrong settings, some dodgy software you installed or faulty phone. personally I would start with trying to login on different wifi (Mcdonald??) to eliminate phone, I would bet on your router and it doesn't matter it works with other devices, new phone will have updated software, may have issue with older router software.
The internet speed is fine, it's just when transferring files locally when it does it - desktop to phone. Also, firmware is up to date.
I found this thread:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5.../GS8QA/highlight/false/page/1/thread-id/16278
Seems to be a common problem with newer Samsung phones. Samsung has known about it for 5 months and hasn't done anything about it.
Might have to return the phone if I can't even stream an HD movie from my PC.
Same problem here 900-1000kbps. Can't be router cause my note 4 does 9-10mbps. Had the same issues with the note 7 but worse(300-400kbps)
