My Question or Issue
Recently Spotify started using my entire download bandwidth to stream songs.
The best way i can describe it is, instead of loading the song while it plays like it used to, it wants to load it as fast as possible spiking to 30Mbps for a few seconds and then it goes back to 0.
This never happened before.
This spike is of course very annoying because it causes buffering/lag to other applications every time i listen to a new song.
I've tried to do a clean re-install but it didn't work.
