Usual internet speed, but slow download speed?

[Eric]

I just bought a new computer with a built in 802.11bgn 1T1R Wireless Adapter. Speedtest.net shows my usual speed. But when I download files, the speed is 20 KB/sec.

On my old laptop, it uses the WiFi 5100 agn. Speedtest shows same speed, and when I download files, the speed is over 1.0 MB/s.

Can anyone offer a solution to get my download speed to normal? A different adapter?
DrDave, read my question closely. Old computer, download files at 1.0MB PER SEC. So I download like a 80 mb file in likes minute. New computer, download files at 20 KB PER SEC, so the same 80 mb file takes like 40 mins. And both machines are on the same WiFi network.
DrDave, Then why does it take my my new PC to download a 80 Mb file in about 1 minute and my old PC 40 mins?
Sorry, new at 40 mins, old at about 1 min.
Well its the same file from the same website. Even downloading games on steam and origin are slow. Even streaming videos is slow.
I just got it this Monday. It has only 2 games installed, Firefox, steam, origin, and transferred school work/photos/music/etc. Barely anything. My laptop is like 80% full. I bet its just a crappy adapter. I'll just turn it off and buy a different one
Well the Firefox download progress. On old Pc the progress shows the speed (1.0 mb/sec). So I assume i download the 80 Mb file at 1 Mb per second, sometimes faster, so it takes around a minute.
This isn't really a math issue. I see the speed with my own eyes. 80 Mb file finishes in around a minute. New PC same file takes 40 mins.
Im not talking about bits at all. The 80 Mb file downloads at 1 megabyte per second, sometimes faster up to 1.5, I finish it in about 1 minute or so. On my new pc the same file downloads at about 20 kilobytes per second, takes about 40 minutes. So I'm guessing my eyes are just tricking me then. And I'm not arguing, you're the one throwing insults after each edit.
I guess I'll get my eyes checked cause my old laptop isn't downloading a 80 Mb file in about 1 minute, even after redownloading it 5 times just now, and my new PC takes 40 mins for the same file.
Old laptop is* downloading
I know speedtest doesn't reflect actual download speed, but ping is around 20. DL is usually over 4.5. UL is usually over 1.5. And actually I'm tried. 2:43 a.m. In my area. Post anything else that can further help. Gonna go to bed before I start sleeping in front of my computer

Yeah. Learn the difference between megabits, megabytes, kilobits, and kilobytes. An ISP usually defines their speed in megaBITS per second. A download indicator usually gives your speed in kiloBYTES per second. There are 8 bits in a byte. 20 kiloBYTES equals 1.8 megaBITS
EDIT: READ MY ANSWER! You apparently ALSO need to learn the difference in minutes and seconds!!! Have a 4th grader do the math for you! You ARE downloading at 1.8 megabits per second. How many do you suppose you download in a minute duh? What is 1.8 times 60? Let me make it simple for you. Your old pc downloads at 1 megabit per second, your new one downloads at 1.8 megabits per second. Which number is BIGGER?
Edit: LOOK at your speed tests. They're both about the same. That says it all. As far as why one download may be slower than the other, distance from the server, speed of the server, etc all play a roll. If you're downloading a file from bumfudge india, it's damn sure going to take longer then one closer to you.
EDIT: On to step 2 then. How much worthless crap have you cluttered the new PC up with that's also accessing the internet? I'd also like to know how you download at 1 megabit a second and end up downloading an 80 megabyte file in minute. Like I said, learn the math. If you download a file at 1 megabit per second, in one minute, you've downloaded 60 megaBITS. NOT megaBYTES. 60 megaBITS equals 7.5 megaBYTES.
EDIT: Well, you go ahead and waste your money. When you find out nothing has changed, consider learning the math.
EDIT: And your last post points out the very fact that you don't know the difference between megabits and megabytes. I'm tired of trying to explain it to you. Go throw money at the problem til it goes away. I could care less. If you spent more time listening rather than arguing, you might get somewhere. I CAN tell you this much. You are NOT downloading 80 megabytes of file in 60 seconds.
EDIT: Okay mastermind, what do you get on your speed tests?
EDIT: Your speed test is showing you 4.5 megaBITS per second. NOT megaBYTES per second. In order to download 80 megabytes of data even at 4.5 megabits per second (which by the way the server isn't sending it that fast to begin with). it would take 8 seconds to download a megabyte. That means in one minute, you couldn't possibly download more than 7.5 megabytes per minute. An 80 megabyte file would take 80 divided by 7.5 or 10.66 minutes. Now since you're only downloading at 1 megabit per second most likely because the server is only sending it that fast, multiply 10.66 times 4.5. That's 47.97 or rounded off, 48 minutes. END OF STORY. Either you're old pc is NOT downloading the entire file or you're sadly mistaken about downloading 80 megabytes of data in a minute. That my friend IS an impossibility.
