Since torrent users get hit with DOS so much, it's your best clue why it's slow.

Hello, i recently built a pc and everything seems to work fine except downloading any files in any browser seems to be very slow. However everything else is fast including torrent speeds and browser speeds. I've tested my download speeds and im getting 14Mbps and the problem seems to be only on this computer. Also im connected via gigabit Ethernet.
