I'm having this issue as well. My downloads do not seem to go higher than
100KB/s. IE
and FF seem to get up to 800KB/s.

I am downloading at close to 0Kb/s with Chrome while Firefox goes at full
speed. It
actually gives me 4 days until it finishes downloading an mp3. Unacceptable.
same prob
Similar issue with Chrome 5.0.342.8 (Windows Vista). Issue just appeared
in the
last day. Download speeds are consistently below 1 kB/s. Browsing speeds
do not
seem affected. Have tried reinstalling Chrome, with no effect.
Download speeds with Firefox and IE have not slowed.
Screenshot of a very slow download is attached. URL is removed.

I've discovered that disabling DNS pre-fetching helps to solve this
problem. For me at least it worked.
I'm having this issue with 5.0.375.125 beta (win7) as well. Not only is the
download really slow, my computer grinds to a halt and other programs
freeze until the download finally finishes.
When I download with IE there are no problems.
same problem with chrome 5.0.375.127
So many people have these problems and still nothing done about it yet?
It's the only thing I don't like about google chrome which I have to switch
to another browser everytime I want to download something and it's annoying.
rvbeppler's disable DNS pre-fetching fixed this for me. If this is a global
bug, you should remove the pre-fetching option until you fix this serious
bug.
This may answer a few questions - I too experience excruciatingly slow
downloads in Chrome.
This is a workaround :-
I found that every time I download a file - it is really slow but once you
cancel it and restart the download it resumes at a 'normal' pace. By
normal - I mean at a speed that is reasonable/common on your computer and
internet connection.
I find that I have do this for 100% of the files I download using Chrome.
Yea this is ridiculous... This issue has been known for AT LEAST a year and
a half without so much of a "we're working on it".. it's really just
pathetic.. fix this crap and maybe more people would use Google chrome.. on
another note i have heard Google Chrome has some security issues as to
stealing peoples information and other things...that was the main reason i
stopped using it.. FireFox is a good browser i just use chrome when im in
the mood for something different and i dont have to download anything.. I
mean i got cable modem downloading at dial up speeds... pathetic
Not only is it Google Chrome having this problem...but for my computer its
just Firefox version 3.6.6 (or just Firefox period). It starts off at about
200kb/s then goes straight down to where its 3kb/s or even 0kb/s. After
that it just freezes...download doesn't do anything and stops. Yet my
computer still works fine. I have Windows XP. I also just put on the latest
updates that we're recommended for my OS. I also tried downloading things
multiple times and every single time they never finish downloading and just
stop / freeze. Really makes it frustrating for me.
I'm now running 8.0.552.200 beta, but the issue has been there since the
very first release of Chrome. Downloads are always way slower than with any
other browser.
I can also reproduce the problem with downloads starting more or less fast
but then slowing down.
Please fix this

slow..

@cbentzel: You removed label:not-extensions, but I don't see any way this
could be a bug in the extensions system. What am I missing?

Recently chrome started loading pages very slow, as well as downloads.
Under 4KB/sec
IE and other browsers load fast. I have a 15Mbit connection its definitly
the browser. In chrome I try download a file and it transfers at 3kb/sec,
cancel and switch to IE and boom good speeds are 500kb/sec.
Slow chrome DL rarely above 10kb/s, fast FF and Safari for same URLs...
upwards of 1000kb/s.
Mine starts at like 2000kb/s and drops down to 28 really slowly , like 1
kb/s every 5 seconds
uGh, I've been using google chrome for a few years now and this download
problem only showed up on me a few weeks ago. It's really annoying,
downloads used to be at a moderate 200+ kb/s but now it's below 1 kb/s.
I also have this issue. Chrome extremely slow, IE and Firefox are not a
problem with the same links at the same time. Definitely seems to be a
chrome issue.
I have the same problem right now...

I am facing the same issue as well, any fix?
Confirmed. The same effect on 16.0.899.0 dev-m on Win7 SP1 x64.
Chrome downloads files with 30 kbits/s, while IE9 downloads it with 300
kbits/s from the same server in the same time.
Confirmed and I agree with Comment #16 entirely. Same issue.
I'd also like to add that I've noticed this ever since perhaps Chrome
version 3 way till Chrome 18 Canary ( I have now ) and this hasn't fixed.
Tried it even on different windows versions.. Very unstable download.. I
never use Google Chrome for downloading.. Chrome needs to really get this
fixed.. How long could something run like this?! Shame..
It's been years since people started having this issue with
Chrome/Chromium, and it's still affecting the majority of Chrome users. I
always use IE for downloading files, as it tends to download near my actual
Internet connection speed. I have a 768KB/s connection, and Chrome
downloads at about 60, and commonly less. Browsing web pages goes at a
decent speed, though.
Seriously, how long can you guys keep this going? If it weren't for the
standards support, I'd switch back to IE or Firefox in a heartbeat.
