Ok so I'm using g60 and dolphin...I guess that's all you need to know for this, if you need more tell me. Ok so I've noticed when I'm downloading something I can open and close dolphin and it makes the download much much faster. For instance if I'm downloading a new ROM or app I can go to downloads and watch the speed. If I open dolphin for the first few seconds the speed is much much faster...so much so that that's how I download things now. I'll open dolphin for 5 to 10 seconds then close it and repeat. I don't know why but it works. I was wondering what causes that, not a placebo, and if there was some way to duplicate it. Like some coding that would make it think the browser it's opening and closing. I know this works and it wasn't a fluke. I watch the download speed and you can watch it jump every time. I do this with all downloads now. Just a thought...

It's possible that by repoening the browser it's gives presidents to the processes ID hence making it run faster. Short of that I would say poor programming ;)
 
Whatever the case it works. Opening and closing my browser keeps the download speeds up. Whether it's play store or some other site. If it's poor programming I love it! I just brought it up cause I thought there might be a reason for it and something that could be duplicated.
 
I think it's an issue with Android and not the apps because I've also noticed this with almost all the bittorrent apps I have tried as well as Dolphin.
