Slow Download Speeds

Anyone else having slow download speeds today? Trying to get a movie ready for movie night but only downloading at 20mbps on a 130mbps connection. Going to end up having to watch it on iTunes in order to get the kids to bed at a decent time. This seems to happen quite a bit and is disappointing.
 
Yes the last 2 Days I download the Blu-ray Quality Movie GEOSTORM - Completed in 15 hours 10 minutes (5.1 Mbps)
Blade Runner 2049 in 4K HDR is still downloading after 4 Hours and says: In progress, 9 hours 54 minutes left (4.9 Mbps)

Just out of curiosity, try pausing your downloads and pop over to speedtest.net and see what your current results are.
 
Here is my recent history. I hope the longer than typical downloading times is because so many folks are buying movies! The 1 1/2 hour is typical for a blu-ray.

I just downloaded two movies last night to my Terra Server. I was getting 150+Mbps. When I download to my Premier 3U server, I normally get much lower. I wonder if there is a discrepancy from one type of component to another, i.e. Terra vs. Strato vs. Premier etc.?
