Birdy,

When I click on the link to magnetmix and try to download, explorer pops up a screen that says:

The webpage cannot be displayed

Most likely cause:
Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.

What you can try:
Search online for a program you can use to view this web content.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

What Program do I need to be able to download from there? Also I have updated my Java. I did a speed test at speedtest.com, and it said my Download Speed was 10928 KBPS. That's good right? Also I just noticed, whenI download Music my spedd jumps way up. I downloaded a song at 180+ KBPS. Why??

I don't know why Maybe the hosts you're downloading from have heaps of upload slots open & so you're only getting a tiny bit of their bandwidth? Maybe they're not really T1 or T3...people sometimes set their LW's speed to higher than it really is. If you're only downloading from a single host, things will be slower than if you were downloading from multiple hosts. Search for the movies again, find the ones you're downloading. Right click the file > search more > get more results...see if you can speed things up with a couple more hosts.

If you can download a song at 180 KB/s then at least you know you're capable of downloading at a decent speed.

Those magnetmix files are just a bit of a test, often they'll download really slowly if an ISP is throttling bandwidth. Did you disable The Shield when you tried to view the magnetmix page? Try another browser if you like, but it's probably not worth it if you know that you can achieve good speeds.
