More of a mild curiosity, and some basic research mostly yield utilization showing 0% or other low values.
I was downloading a game and noticed Task manager claimed I was at peak utilization at only 100Mbit, despite having 500Mbit connection (and download reaching very close to it).
Nic speed, config and type:
Switch config:
Firewall config (w/speed hints):
Example of just over 100Mbit load:
Example of near 500Mbit load:

So "luck" should have it and my OS drive hit the trash which gave me reason to dig further on this, and it seems to be related to loop-back devices created with VMware and/or VirtualBox(both makes them), both which have a low link-speed associated with them, and by extension tricks TaskManager into this "100Mbit is max" idea.
