Hello there. I have a DSL connection--Usually anything I download is completed within a matter of minutes. But lately, my downloads have been very, very slow, inconsistant, and often just stopping altogether. I don't know how I could keep anything going long enough to finish it.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Thank you for your time

Note: I've already optimized all my settings.

Oh, so downloading music and movies is okay, but operating systems is a no no? Look, if you can't help me, fine, but don't come in here and try to make me feel guilty for taking a little money out of Microsoft's roomy pocket.

We feel the same about M$ but! Rules are rules & wares are a no no.

Alrighty, sorry about that then Negligence on my part, certainly.

Uh, okay, if we can, let's assume I never said anything about...anything.

I'm having problems downloading. I've optimized all my settings, as suggested in a sticky thread above, and I still have the slow, inconsistant, pausing downloads. Can anyone help me?

I turned off uploads altogether and I still have the problem

There are several (80 or so) hosts, though. Are they all screwed up, or is something wrong with me?

Are you downlding from T1 or T3 Sources? Try if you can from other sources!

Sory Peerless I'll leave this one for you. lol

Hm, I didn't know one could do that Well, it three out of four people said it was a bad file...I think I'll trust them. Maybe I can get a used copy of Windows 2000 somewhere
