Spectrum blocking downloads, any workaround?

Hey, I’m having an issue with my Spectrum internet where certain sites like Buzzheavier, MegaDB, and Datanodes won't download the files and give me ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

This sorta thing happens on every browser (I’ve tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox, etc.), even after changing DNS and messing with SSL settings.

Here’s what I’ve figured out:

  • The site works fine on my phone hotspot
  • It only fails on my home Wi-Fi
  • Using a VPN fixes it, but speeds are insanely slow

So it seems like Spectrum is blocking or interfering with the connection.

Is there any way to bypass this and still download from the same site at normal speeds? Or am I stuck using a paid VPN or another network?

Any help appreciated.
