Download rates are capped in EGL

Summary

When downloading updates, the downloads are capped to 50 mbps, on a 1gbps connection with ping 2. This usually affects upload rates in live edit, but I didnt test that (those two go together though). This creates unnecessary friction for non US creators on an update day, and launching live edit.

Steps to Reproduce

Test from a non-Epic office, non-US, and not close to any Amazon servers (I am currently reporting from Greece)
Download any game on the Epic Games Launcher, or launch live edit on a project that is at least 300mb upload, then check the upload amount on the popup.

Expected Result

Upload/download is according to the user’s upload/download

Observed Result

Upload/download is capped (for me its capped at 50mbps, heard its worse in Australia)
