I buy movies through Google and download them to the SD card. I can download up to five locations. I purchased a 64bg card, the same card that is in my Note 4 and Galaxy Tab 4, and placed it in my Zenfone2. I decided to test the speed of downloading since I was going to be buying a few new movies.
Yesterday was very strange. It was in the afternoon at high Internet traffic time. I had been downloading my already purchased movies to the Zenfone and they were downloading at a snail's pace. Since I was going to be purchasing some new movies, I decided to get a new movie and simultaneously download the movie on both the Note 4 and the Zenfone2. It was a 15 gb movie. The Note took nine minutes and the Zen took 20 minutes. I then continued the process of downloading the already purchased movies to the Zen.
It was taking forever. One movie took almost an hour. I went to my computer to do a speed test on my Internet. I was getting a full 65 mbps of speed. I did speed tests on both phones and the speeds were spotty, between 20-60 mbps. I was not near the router doing the tests and all kinds of things were going on. I also rebooted both phones. I continued on with my downloading of movies and they continued to download at a snail's pace.
This morning I started to download again on the Zen while I was upstairs and the downloads were super fast. I was downloading four minutes per movie. I had two more movies to purchase. I downloaded a 16 gb movies on both phones at the same time and they both completed in 12 minutes. I downloaded my final purchase on both phones, one right after the other, and they both downloaded in a bit more than four minutes.
Not sure what was going on yesterday with the Zen but this morning (before doing the system update) it was behaving as the specs would have it behave.
