this could be the site that you are downloading from some download sites restrict the speeds they allow for each connection

also if you are downloading the file via torrent your isp could be restricting your download for torrents

Does multiple torrent download take longer?

Yes, most of the time. But not anymore if you use online cloud services like filestream. With just 2 bucks a day you can download as many torrent files you want and your download speed will be same as your ISP provides. I was able to download torrent files with the speed of 10MBPS++ and simultaneously downloading 10 files with filestream.Register on filestream and paste "Magnet link" or upload '.torrent" files and filestream will fetch the torrent files for you and within 1 minute , direct download link will be provided which you can use to download with IDM.

I have problems with internet download speed can someone please help?

You may be confusing two different measurements. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) measures speed in terms of megabits per second (Mbps) whereas most programs measure data transfer speed--either upload or download--in terms of bytes, kilobytes, or megabytes per second (Bps, KBps or KB/s or K/sec, or MB/sec). With TCP/IP, the way to convert between the two is the same as converting from bits to bytes: divide the number of bits by 8. So, in other words, the 10Mbps from your ISP equates to 1.25MBps. Therefore, it sounds like you are getting the speed you should (based on the original format of the question which mentioned both your ISP speed of 10Mbps and your indicated download speed of 1.2MBps).If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line. I am always glad to help.
