How to Speed Up Download Speeds on Mac (4 Steps)

Change your Internet connection. This is one of the only sure ways to speed up your downloads on a Mac. If you have a cable connection, consider switching to DSL. Even though cable can be faster, the more people connected in a given area, the more bandwidth is used and the slower the download speeds are for you. While DSL is constant, since you are not sharing your connection with anyone else, if you have DSL, consider upgrading the number of Mbps you can download. If you go from 1.5 to 3 or 5, you will notice a difference.
Open ports on your computer. This will allow the ports that you are downloading on to have more access to your computer and therefore download more quickly. Open “System Preferences” in the Apple menu.
Click on “Sharing” and select “Firewall.”
Click “New” and select “Other” from the drop-down menu. Input “6881-6889” in the “TCP Port Numbers” and “UDP Port Numbers” boxes and add a description. Press “OK” and check the new port to open it.
