Despite having internet speed of 50mb/s the download speed is 600kbs why?

Settings -> Downloads -> Download Region. You can try and change that if you think there's a better one around. You can also check the Stats page to see how the network is doing.

Try all download servers until you find one with speeds you are happy with.

There are over 130 to try.

Any server near me was slow as dirt. Nearest does not always equal faster.

Today, Rio was better for me. Yesterday, S. Korea was better. Btw... I'm on the East Coast.

Also note that genreally speaking your download speed is limited not by bandwidth, but by your CPU and IO
