you have to keep in mind that you are downloading 11 years worth of historical transactions and it is not just raw bytes that you download and store like you'd do with a video. it is bytes that you have to also convert to transactions and verify using cryptography which is what @NeuroticFish mentioned about your CPU and storage. and it also involves RAM.
one way to speed up bitcoin core's syncing is if you have a lot of RAM and increase the amount of it that core uses using your bitcoin.conf file. just add dbcache=XXX where XXX is the amount of RAM in MB.
for example if you have 8 GB RAM set it to dbcache=4000
