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?

Thanks

Through portal it taking the little time

Because Azure Storage Explorer is integrated with azcopy which is using simple commands designed for optimal performance. So you can have a good-performance for downloading / uploading etc

You can also try with chucking the files ,By chunking the upload/download and make proper use of multi-threading. For more details refer this SO Thread: Best way to upload a blob with a huge size in GBs to azure in the fastest time
