Download Speed - Too slow in comparison...
I've done some things...
1 - Run "netsh int ip reset" with cmd as admin.
2 - Change my DNS to Google as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
3 - Reset Edge and Edge Dev settings to default.
4 - Reset Internet Properties settings to default.
5 - Reset my Internet Adapter.
6 - Clear HardDisk temp files and cache.
7 - Run AdwCleaner to see if was something malicious (nothing btw).
I also tested in Opera browser, and in Opera reaches my full speed, such as Chrome.
Besides that, i tested a download in another computer in the same network. And for my surprise, Chrome and Edge and Edge Dev are with the same download speed, which is ok.
But why in my main computer this doesn't happens? I don't think it's my ISP, becuse in my main PC Chrome and Opera reaches the full speed, only Edge and Edge Dev didn't.
Any clues? Maybe it's a bug or a setting, i don't know what else i can do.
my suggestion is that you try to perform a clean boot of your OS and then try the Google Drive download again in Edge insider Dev to see if you notice any difference.
this guide can help you out on that.

Ok, thanks
I activated it I would see
I am a little "lost" with Canary which indicates the speed in ko/s (archaic) whereas with IE it is in mb/s.
And I find that IE is faster (DL and UL) - DeletedSep 27, 2019
Well, maybe works for you. But for me the speed was the same with or without this option enabled.

Yeah, as i said before and as HotCakeX mentioned, the SpeedTests, like from Ookla or any other, are regular and without problem...
The question is when i ONLY download something from Google Drive...
And as mentioned before, i already tested in another computer and works fine at my full speed on Edge and Edge Dev and Chrome. I see the problem only on main PC, BUT i already did any sort of reset and clean boot on my system, router, browser or everything you may think.
I think to solve this problem, the devs should look all the posts before making another assumptions that i already did before.

Again, the results from the Insider Builds will not be anything similar to that of actual regular browsers and sure not the same as Edge. Edge and a speed test app run in OS will be the same. And, the Insider Channels can quite varying results from each other, too.
The obvious irony, here, is, in practice, the Insider Builds appear or seem to do things faster & more quickly than Edge.

Deleted Here comes the result for Edge Canary:
- Drew1903Sep 20, 2019Silver ContributorYou will not see the same speeds in Edge C Insider Builds as with your internal browsers.
Cheers,
Drew - HotCakeXSep 20, 2019MVPSure no problem, I also hope it gets fixed soon in future updates

Well, i download the Edge Canary and so far is good, but the problem with the speed limit keeps the same. I also tried what you said about reseting the Edge settings before.
Since we can't solve that, i will stay with Chrome until a solution appears in the horizon.
But besides that, thanks for the help! Really appreciated.
- HotCakeXSep 20, 2019MVPWell if you think it's related to the browser then you can reset it back to the defaults
- disable all of your extensions
- reset all browser flags to their defaults
- reset Edge settings from here: edge://settings/reset
you can also give Canary a shot. it's been better than Dev and Beta overall - DeletedSep 20, 2019
I really don't know if it's a setting on the windows system.
I think that can be a internal setting in the Edge or Edge Dev.
I did the Clean Boot, and the speed it's still limited.
I did a boot in Safe Mode with Network, and the speed it's still limited.
I'm using Windows 10 v1903 - (18362.356).
