Catalina third party software downloads are very slow

[yuanyasmine]

Recently updated my iMacPro to Catalina. When I do downloads of third party apps or audio plugins the download speeds are very vert slow.

On Speedtest my download results are 725 Mbps down, 55.9 up. Any idea what I might be doing wrong or missing? TIA

From what sites? Are downloads slow across the board? Your download speed is entirely dependent on the sites you are hitting and the time you hit it and so on.

Downloading third party software from the websites. Everything else if fine but the download speed (how long it takes to complete the download to the folder) is slow

That's almost certainly a server problem. Downloading software from any site, even Apple, can take a long time depending on how many others are doing the same thing as you. Or, the servers may undergoing maintenance with limited output capacity.

Not much you can do about that.

Glad to hear that everything else is fine.

Sorry for the late reply. From all sites. I’m pretty familiar with how networking works thanks.
