If your download works slow when you download from your browsers, download managers are an option. They provide pause/resume option with which you can pause your download, restart your computer and resume it again any time you want. Download managers also provide acceleration, which acts like torrent and allows you to get data from people similar to you downloading he same stuff. Also acceleration is provided through the download manager's own servers. The most famous download manager for Windows is IDM (Internet download Manager) but when it comes to Linux, IDM is not an option. But there's flareGet, a download manager even better than IDM. flareGet works on most Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.
