download speeds
 

i had dial up and then switched to dsl and i still down load at 2-4 kbs. i got my conection speed set at cable/dsl. can some help me please. thanks.

abotello,

Your download speed depends on your hosts upload ability. Upload capability is almost always slower then download.

If you are looking for a file only available from a few hosts then your download can be very slow because you depend on a single host who might be on dial-up.

To test this try looking for a very popular file with lots of available hosts and see if your download speed doesn't come up. You should connect to several hosts with an upload speed several times what you are getting.
