I've only had to restart my client download like 10 times because the data transfer rate drops below .5 MB/s. Once I restart, it goes up above 3.4 MB/s which is much more doable but after 10 mins, it drops below .5 again.

I think someone on the IT side needs to check into this and boost that bandwidth so it stays upwards of 3 MB/s.

I've tested my download speed and I've gotten over 70 Mb/s so it's not my computer and it's not my internet speed, therefore, leaving the source of the client to be the problem.
