HBOmax Transfer Speed Wrong?

[BradYonder]

I noticed this a few versions ago but was hesitant to mention it. I think the HBOmax transfer speed is being shown incorrectly:


I don't know exactly what transfer speed I'm getting but I know it's faster than this. And the other platforms I use (Netflix, for example) are showing the transfer speed in MB/s.

Not a critical bug in my opinion but wanted to mention it.

The image attached shows that you were downloading the subtitles, which have been split into many segments, and the download speed for this part is slower as compared to the video/audio downloading. It's normal.

Here's a different snapshot, this time when downloading the video portion. And now I'm noticing drastically reduced speeds.

I've noticed that when downloading from HBO my speed will vary greatly between a few KB/s to my max download speed. I think HBO does some kind of throttling.

It turns out the drastic slowdown was on my end. I learned that I cannot transfer files to my NAS and use StreamFab at the same time lol.
