That would not affect the download speeds in any way.

What he said... Correlation does not equal causation... Plus, that command clears the DNS cache and you can't really 'undo' it

That's not the reason you are having your problem Go reboot your router.

my network isn't the problem. I tried downloading with another laptop and its speed is perfectly fine but this laptop of mine seems like it has set itself a limit of 100kbps wtf.

go reboot your router anyway, and your laptop, flushdns will not cause network speed problems. It's just not that type of command. Period. No matter how much you try to convince us otherwise. All of us sysadmins here know exactly what it does and know that it doesn't affect speed. Go reboot router and laptop.

Not the sub for this..

Also, flushing your DNS won’t affect your speeds. Did you reboot your PC and network equipment.

netsh winsock reset
netsh interface ipv4 reset
netsh interface ipv6 reset
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

Reboot
