Downloading speed decreases dramatically after os x maverick upgrade

Hi Not sure if it is just my mac...but after upgrading to maverick, downloading a say 6G file now takes hours and hours....when before I was using SL or ML, it used to take 2 hours tops. What is happening? Are others having the same problem??

You could try looking at the monitor app to see if any other apps are hogging more cpu and ram usage.

Where can I find monitor app?

click on the launchpad and find the other tile and click on the the activity monitor. This will give a indicator bars of activity for usage. click on the view drop section where you can click for cpu ram etc.

Mavericks should have nothing to do with your download speed if you're still using the same ISP, modem, router, etc. There may be something else going on and it's coincidental that you're downloading more slowly. Try monitoring the activity monitor as previously suggested.
