"There's nothing worse than a 'Download' that crawls at 100KBps when you have gigabit fiber. Slow speeds are usually caused by 'ISP Throttling,' a congested CDN node, or your browser's 'Efficiency Mode' limiting the bandwidth of inactive tabs."

Understanding Server Throttling

Platforms like YouTube and Instagram often 'Throttle' (slow down) requests from automated tools. SaveMedia uses 'Parallel Fragmenting'. We break the video into 10 smaller parts, download them simultaneously, and join them back together, effectively multiplying your speed by 10x.

Browser Tab Sleep

Modern browsers like Chrome and Edge 'Sleep' tabs that aren't being looked at. If you start a large 4K download and then switch to another tab, the browser will DRAMATICALLY slow the download to save energy. Keep the SaveMedia tab open and visible to maintain max speed.

Conclusion: Speed is our Priority

We've built SaveMedia to be the fastest engine in the world. By following these few tips, you ensure you're using 100% of your internet's potential. Speed up your archive at SaveMedia.
