If the download speed is too low, they will last longer. The longer they last, the higher would be your costs with servers. Each download may use 100mb of ram if you are using apache and sending the files with php.

If the download speed is too high, your users will have no reason to buy premium and you may end up using all your bandwidth.

You need to find a speed that is slow enough to make your users buy premium, but fast enough to not overload your servers.

And can you give me the number of this speed please ..

Am running on this server :

8 núcleos CPU Intel
4gb RAM dedicada
8gb memória swap

It depends on the avg file size, on how many downloads you have daily and many other things. You need to test to find the best value for you.

And 4gb ram is really low. My servers have 16gb each.

The best i think is :

100kbs for guests
200kbs for registred
unlimited for paid
