comment File downloads very slow compared to speedtest (only for 1 pc in my home network)
If the ISP was the problem, then I should be able to replicate the problem on other computers on my network -this isn't the case. The problem persists even when using hotspot with a phone data connection. The problem is almost certainly with the desktop...

Optimal MTU size seems to be 1492. I changed it and there isn't any noticable difference... Doesn't the fact that speedtest reaches max bandwidth instantly guarantee that it's not a hardware issue?

As a quick note, I'll also edit the question to add this: I can add multiple downloads and they'll all hover around 1-1.5MB/s

I have tested the exact same sites&same file downloads at different computers, and the speeds are much much higher. I have also tried clearing cookies and a few different browsers. The downloads are always around 1-1.5MB/s, no matter the site or the browser or anything, while at the same time speedtest hits 300Mbps instantly.

Mainly I use Ethernet, I tested the problem also with a Wireless Adapter and it remained the same. Interestingly the file download speeds where about the same (~1MB/s) for both ethernet and the wireless adapter, even though the wireless adapter can only do 50Mbps on speedtest. It seems that file downloads are somehow throttled, no matter the bandwidth...

comment Can a non-separable C$^*$ algebra have separable GNS Hilbert space
Okay, I thought this would be the case. Thanks for the example! Is there a relevant theorem, stating assumptions under which the Hilbert space will be separable? Or is this not an interesting problem?
