If the MEGAsync speed settings differs from the website settings (i.e. office) you may find out that it is the opposite at another connection point (ie. If transfers through HTTP might have problems (due to a firewall issue for example) and HTTPS is much faster at one connection point (ie.

Another difference is that the web uses HTTPS for transfers while MEGAsync uses HTTP by default (despite it can be changed in settings).įor some users one of them could provide higher speeds. So the main difference is HOW they calculate the speed, not necessarily in the final transfer speed and time result itself.Ģ.

However when analysing the speed measured by the operating system, in both cases the speed pattern seems to be similar (despite the web and MEGAsync show different speeds). If the transfer starts very fast and then reduces the speed, the web would show a high speed during a longer period of time, while MEGAsync would almost immediately show the current speed.

The main difference in transfer speed statistics you have observed can be caused by the fact that MEGA on browser seems to be showing the mean speed during the whole transfer or during a longer syncing period while MEGAsync shows the mean speed during only the last 5 seconds. Firstly do not confuse your connection (Mbps) with transfer speed (MB/s)!
