Slow download speeds.

[taksh108]

Describe the bug
I am getting download speeds of less than 50 Kbps. It takes forever for downloading even 2-3MB files.
Is this an expected behaviour?

To Reproduce
spotify_dl -l -v "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3OPNr0gieErXlFDqZnRLu3?si=1c49e658bd434ccf" -o /Users/takshshah/Music/pot-dl

Expected behavior
Faster Download speed

the download speeds are entirely driven by your network connection, spotify-dl cannot and has no means of influencing/making downloads faster or slower.

Also: Youtube was known to throttle youtube-dl. This has been fixed by yt-dlp which spotify-dl uses now

I have the same issue. The download speed rate is somewhere between 50-40 KiB/s eventhough I've a 200 mb/s connection.
