I have a high bandwidth connection. While downloading several linux distro ISO's on Windows I began streaming a single HD video on amazon and the download speeds dropped to nothing. My bandwidth and link are no where near saturated. Is Firefox intentionally throtteling my downloads over a peuny hd video stream that comes no where near being even a blip on my connectin? Can I change that behavior?

Streaming Throttle is a ISP issue not something the browser does. Have you contact your ISP about your internet streaming issues? Is that with only streaming or everything else?

It is only with an Amazon stream perhaps some html 5 feature they use on their site? I can watch multiple 4k YouTube streams with no affect to my download speeds... No problem with Netflix either. So I don't think its my ISP. But I seriously don't understand why a single HD stream would neuter my downloads and why Firefox would allow this if it is a coded feature thing...?
