With the Edge based on Chromium version 84.0.522.28 the download speed was 1.1 GBit.
With the current version 84.0.522.44 the download rate has been halved.
A test with the Opera browser always showed a download speed of 1.1 GBit!

@Charly - Please check if download speed is the same on other web browsers as well.
If its the same issue then kindly consider changing DNS of your computer.
Refer to this article on the Changing DNS to Google DNS
Let me know if it helps.

@amaanr The speed test in Opera results in the full bandwidth of 1.1 GBit during download.

The result is slightly better (660 MBit) but not sufficient.

Are you performing a speed test from a speed test site or observing the speed of your downloads?
Jul 26 2020 05:02 AM
I use the website Fast.com to speedtest for Edge and Opera.

@Charly Does the issue of speed persist in downloading files in the browser?
Also, please share screenshot of the speed test.

@Charly Go to address bar in Edge and enter this edge://flags/#enable-parallel-downloading
Enable the option and restart your browser. Next, try downloading the same file. Let me know.

@Charly - Did the problem of speed appear recently?, or after a certain Windows update, or Edge browser update(that came a few weeks back).

This is the case since the Edge Update 84.0.552.44.
And the download was okay only with version 84.0.522.28.
Before this version I had the same problem.

@Charly Only 84.0.522.28 was on the beta channel. I suggest you to try the Canary version since it pushes beta builds consistently. Maybe that should work.
Meanwhile, try resetting EDGE for once? Maybe some plugins/addons are acting up

I tested it with the DEV and CAN and so the download was again at 1.1 GBit. Everything okay.
With the version 84.0.522.28 the download speed works with the version 84.0.522.44 the download became slower again. If Microsoft does not investigate the problem and solve the problem, so that the problem is finally solved.
Because with version 83.0.478.56 I had the same ones as now.
Who can say that if the CAN version goes into rollout and later a version update comes, that the download problem will not come back.
Above all I have to pay attention now which Edge-Browser I use to get a good download performance.
