If I download a file without browsing anything compared to downloading a file when I'm browsing. Will it effect the download speed of the file? I didnt find much difference. Is it preferred to download a file when you are not browsinng for a faster download or it doesnt matter?

Don't worry. Even for broadband, surfing speed does get affected sometimes due to downloading since Download takes the complete bandwidth available.

Beware of the innocent
most downloaders have light and heavy settings. Just set to light mode while browsing. Or if feature not available, set a speed limit for download.

The remaining bandwidth after it is used by download is used for browsing contents. So downloading will affect browsing, but it will not affected by browsing many pages at that time.

When your internet line is at work - then it will show in browsing speed.
