For those that don't know, there is a setting called "Limit reservable bandwidth" which can be edited in your Local Group Policy Editor in Windows 8. This feature limits the system to 80% of the bandwidth of a connection. Normally, this setting is set to "Not Configured" but sometimes configuring this setting will improve your download speed. Try it out and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
 
 ■ Hit the Win Key + Q and search for gpedit.msc
