Hi, sadly I have a very limited internet connection (10 Mbit). When I'm watching a video and then install something in Discover, it takes almost all the bandwidth and the video begins to stutter & buffer. Somebody knows if there's a way to limit the download speed for discover - preferably without installing additional software?

Look into Bufferbloat and SQM.

One way is to replace your router with a router with good SQM (smart queue management). You can find recommended router at https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat
