Hi, sadly I have a very limited internet connection (10 Mbit). When I’m watching a video and then install something in Discover, it takes almost all the bandwidth and the video begins to stutter & buffer. Somebody knows if there’s a way to limit the download speed for discover - preferably without installing additional software?

    Very good question and one that I can’t answer. However I would check to see if your router supports QoS. If it does you might be able to ger the router to prioritize important data such as video playback, gaming, video calls etc. I’ve done that in my router and it made it so much easier to live with 10 Mbit.

    On a limited connection, I’d advise not updating whilst watching a video. It’s also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

    Beyond that it’s not easy to answer - as I don’t use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn’t something I’d contemplate.
