You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Download speed is down to 20KB/sec
It started out at 900KB/sec (acceptable if not still pretty darn slow) and then rapidly descended all the way to a low of 20KB/sec. It took me five minutes to download a 23MB song for a video project. Is this normal? I've started a second download of a very short video (7 MB) and Dropbox is hovering around 60KB/sec. My internet is at about 100MB/sec download speed (as of a few seconds ago) so it's not an issue on this end. Just need to know from the community, is this something that happens from time to time or this the norm?
As a comparison, the client just sent the same files through another service, and I was able to download them literally in about three seconds. With Dropbox it took five minutes. Is that normal? What I am missing?
This appears to be fixed on my end as of a few minutes ago.
It's not just you. My download speed is also pretty terrible at the moment, but upload is just fine. My bandwidth preferences are set to don't limit upload or download. It can't be the client though since you're also experiencing slowness on web. How strange.
Hello. I'm currently unable to download any files. Dropbox says it will take 2 hours to download a 185MB file. It gets about halfway there and then fails. I've been trying to download 3 files for the last 3 hours. ZERO SUCCESS!! This is ridiculous!
