Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don’t know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn’t hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.

The bandwidth of a network card would generally outclass your internet connection by an offer of magnitude.
Gigabits per second network cards have been standard for at least a decade.
And then there’s your wifi too, if applicable, but even that is much faster than your general internet connection.

A new laptop, even the best in the world, won’t make your downloads any faster.
I also back what everyone else is saying. Unless of course you can update your current laptop. What have you got? An extra stick of ram and an SSD can make an old laptop feel brand new, especially with an OS reinstall

Jeez if all flow artists are like this I think i’d rather remain ignorant
- Comment on When Reddit was first becoming popular, were it's communities and content basically just clones of other websites like Digg? 1 year ago:
Pretty much, but I think originally it didn’t even have subreddits. What set it apart from digg was really the community and comments - the quality of which were much better than digg. Similarly to Lemmy it was originally much more tech related too.
