-Pause any extra download in your device.
-Stop using wifi if it is shared from others. Or if you are the wifi admin, just connect wo your wifi device admin console and block other local users that may be lowering your network speed. And try to download again.
-If your internet provider does not have a good speed connection, try download internet download manager application and extenssion from google and try again. This will optimize your download speed to gan extra kb/s to download faster.
