Default 1GB internet speeds but very slow downloads

I got fiber optic 1gb internet service a little over a month ago. I've been expecting to see blazing fast download speeds. You know what they advertise, a full movie in under 2 minutes or something like that. But I've never seen anything anywhere close to that.

Ever since I started downloading things years ago I've used Internet Download Manager which is supposed to be a sort of accelerator. When I had my previous service which was 60gb a 1gb file for instance might take 5 minutes or so downloading at around 5 to 6mb per second at best.

But since I've got the new service it's been even slower on a faster connection and I don't understand why that is. That 1gb file will take 12 minutes or longer. I've tried disabling Internet Download Manager and that's even slower. It's estimated time is 40 minutes or longer at less than 1mb per second download speed.

Right now as I type this I've got an ethernet cable running from the PC to the modem and I just ran a speed test and it's showing about 875mb download and 954mb upload. While I ate dinner I downloaded a 2.5gb 1080p video file and it took over 28 minutes at just over 2mb per second.

The two just don't add up. How can you have blazing fast internet speed and slow as hell downloads?

What's the secret to getting fast file download speeds?
