Look up how to run a speed test on your system. Could be that your service providers servers are buried at this time or the site you are downloading from doesn't have the capacity to download to your speed. Lot's of companies tell you how fast their internet is but in reality, most are quite slow.

I tried downloading something on multiple different sites and everything is taking hours just for a small 200mb file :/
I scanned my computer with AVG and nothing was found.

I would say it's the site then. I run 5GB of speed and download 200mb files in five minutes. Scanning with AVG is useless but sometimes you have to disable it for the download to be faster.
