238594 2004-05-23 03:26:00 Why when Im moving to a new page does my internet stop? When I check internet activity status, nothing is active neither sending nor receiving. Compression seems to stick at 3%. I have read this query this heading and nothing seems to apply. I reset my temp files folder to 35MB as someone suggested and it stuck at 4%. I slipped it to 105MB experimentally and it appeared to work temporarily for about 3 pages and then reverted to hanging.

This is particularly frustrating when Im trying to read thru 35 Press F1 pages and every page sticks, so that I have to disconnect and reconnect and relogin in etc

238596 2004-05-23 04:40:00 it sounds like poor net connection. how do you connect to the net? dailup? whats your connect speed and your sustained download speed ? tweak'e (174)
238597 2004-05-23 04:46:00 yes I suspect connection. My stated speed is 49.2kbps sometimes down to 42. Tho I suspect that is fixed by paradise and doesnt reflect the true rate. is that possible? leonie (5511)

the logon speed, which you have posted, is never the true rate. to get the true rate download a compressed file of a good known server with an app that can display the true download rate (eg use download manger or network tool and don't use IE).

to check if its a paradise problem simply borrow a mates account (different isp) and try it.

238599 2004-05-23 04:55:00 It may possibly help if you empty your Temporary Internet Files and History folders in Internet Explorer. Browsing on dialup works better if the Temporary Internet files settings are kept to a minimum, eg up to 50MB. tommy (2826)
