I have an iso image(8 GB) in Azure Blob Storage. When I am trying to download through Azure Portal, it is taking too much time. When I am using Azure Storage Explorer to download, it takes very less time as compared to direct download from Azure Portal. Can anyone tell me the reason for the difference in download speed of Azure Storage Explorer and Azure Portal? Is there any way to speed up the download speed through Azure Portal?

    Storage Explorer client and AzCopy should be the fastest method to download your files. You can try utilizing Storage Browser/Explorer from your browser in the Storage Account to see if you have better performance.
