Starting this week, my Rapidgator account using JDownloader is behaving poorly. I can typically download 2-5 files simultaneously at 1.5-5.5 mbps minimum. I generally download 3 at a time. Now I am at 150-300 kbps, even with just one file at a time. In addition, I will get an interruption in the download stating "Network Error" with a timer to restart. CRC checks were taking 15 minutes to complete for files that would typically be done in 30 seconds. I've disabled CRC checking for the first time ever. I've tried changing the max chunks per download with no effect.
Downloading the same files via browser (Chrome and Edge) works at the normally fast speed even with multiple downloads, so this seems to be only within JDownloader. All other hosters (e.g. Keep2Share) are behaving normally for me within JDownloader.
I've done an extended ping test to Rapidgator.net with no time-outs. No VPN in use.
I found some descriptions of similar behavior for Rapidgator from the JDownloader Boards from back in 2017, but could find no resolution, even though they were remarked as resolved.
Any suggestions?
