My computers download is capped, whereas my wife can download full speed

Out of curiosity, if you log in on her computer (or she logs in on yours), is the throttling still the same? That'll help figure out whether it's your account that's being rate-limited for some reason, or if it's specific to the computer.

I didn't try this. I didn't know an account could be rate limited. Why would that happen? I wont be able to try to download again until the patch on Tuesday, but I will try this.

I don't imagine it would be a deliberate explicit limiting, but it could be that your account connects to a different set of resources on the server side, versus your wife's, and maybe something is wrong there. Or a setting locally specific to your account that isn't present when you log a different account in on that machine (because a new account is using default settings) or whatever.

It's more likely something is broken on your computer than in the game specifically, but it doesn't hurt to have more data points.

Nothing can possibly be broken. Downloads from every other source work perfectly fine, downloading from the max speed the internet I pay for provides. Computer is cleaned weekly.
