Conor_NE Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I mean severe slowdown - I'm on a 2.2MB connection, and downloading games trailers etc. drops to about 30kb/sec, watching stuff on gamevideos is impossible because they stutter horribly. Web pages load up alright though - bit slower than usual, but not too bad. I've been doing spyware, adware and virus scans, getting rid of all that sort of stuff, but it hasn't had an effect. (by the way I use FF) I'm going to rip my toes off with pliers in frustration. Someone please help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Shut down all things you think that can be connected to Internet (MSN, Browser, P2P programs, etc...). Then go to Start Menu > Run > cmd When in the command line, write: netstat It will show any on going connections, see what you can find about them.

Sanchez Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Could be your ISP being lame or maybe your router is dying. Run a few speedtests and give us results. http://www.speedtest.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_toad Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I had similar problems when SP2 came out. A new network card was the solution for me… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 If you're on cable the bandwidth is shared between all the people in the building. For example if the connection from the building to the isp is 10Mbps, it doesn't take more than five 2Mbps connections to reach the limit. So if there are more than that using the internet at the same time the speed drops. DSL however shouldn't have that problem. But try the speedtest. And it might not be your connection/computer that has the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 If my Temporary Internet Files folder gets too big it slows down my whole internet - so just clear the folder. Other than that it could be that the server is overcrowed and therefore very slow. I'd also recommend to install DU Meter, that shows exactly what amount of bandwidth is currently used.
