Really slow download

Hello,

I'm trying to download Borderlands 3 on Epic Games (95GB), but it's impossible because my download speed is way too slow.
I have a connection of about 310Mb/s.
On Steam, my download speed is around 20Mb/s, which works perfectly for me.

Now, the problem appears on Epic.
The first 5 seconds, I start at 1.50Mb/s, but the rest of the download fluctuates between 300 and 900 Kb/s, often dropping to 0Kb/s for several seconds each time.

It takes me about 20 minutes to get 1%, and since I have to turn off my PC every night, I can't resume the download.

Thank you.

For those who want the solution because I finished the download, well, I waited 38 hours to get the game :>

Hello.
If you were having downloading issues in general, it could be due to an outdated network card driver. However, since this only happens on Epic Games, it’s related to Epic's servers which provide low bandwidth, and there's nothing anyone can do about that. If you're on WiFi, you might try using Ethernet instead.

Hello, it's not coming from Epic Games' servers, as some friends were able to download it without any problem.
I tried to start the download this morning when I woke up, and by the time I got home, I'm at 31% (in 12 hours).

I still updated all my drivers just in case, but there was no change.

Updating the drivers won't change anything, it's due to the Epic Games servers, which provide more or less bandwidth depending on their load.
