        are you sure is a pfsense/esxi problem and not the ISP throttling large downloads ?
        maybe with some screenshot of your config we can better find out if there is something strange/wrong
        also use wireshark/tcpdump to analyze the traffic when your download slow down
        if it's only "sometimes" (define sometimes) maybe the server you are downloading from is congested

        we must focus on silencing this @guest character. we must make up lies and alter the copyrights !

          VMware Tools installed?
          Try to switch from vmxnet3 to e1000 or vice versa.

              imho probably your ISP, ping your isp gateway and see if you have the same problem, if it work without problem do a traceroute and ping every single hop until you find what is timing out, after that call your ISP
              also check if all your cable are in good condition

                I tried without pfSense directly connected to WAN VLAN, everything working fine without any problem which means it's pfSense problem 100%

                                  I have a bunch of pfsense instances running in ESXi. No issues. All 2.4.4-p3 and 2.4.5-RC.

                                    Yeah I don't think this problem is pfSense related.
                                    Can you spin up two more VMs for testing? One with vanilla FreeBSD 11.2 and another with Linux or Windows. Check if the timeouts happen in one or both test VMs.

                                        i told you 4 days ago to disable cso "esxcli network nic cso set --enable=0 -n vmnic0"
                                        but i forgot to tell you to disable it from the pfsense gui

                                            Awesome. I poked around on a few of mine and didn't find any with that enabled. Mostly Dell hardware here. Good find.
