| 1268827 | 2012-04-08 00:41:00 | Hi After I've booted the laptop up from cold, the first time I try to download something (eg from GOTD) it takes a relatively long time before the download box (where I can specify the download destination) appears. After that, further downloads appear quickly. When I reboot, one again the first download drags. It never used to be this bad. Has anyone got any ideas? I'm using Vista Home Premium SP 2 |

| 1268829 | 2012-04-08 01:25:00 | Hi Speedy - Happy Easter No, I only gave GOTD as an example. It happens with any download, including attachments (which usually are relativelly sma;; eg < 1mb) in Gmail |

| 1268830 | 2012-04-08 01:32:00 | Actually, thinking about it a bit more, it's not a case of when I start the computer - it's more the first download of a new Internet session. I'm using Chrome. | tuiruru (12277) | ||
| 1268831 | 2012-04-08 03:48:00 | I'm using Vista Home Premium SP 2 :stare: Troubleshoot it further, does it also do it with Internet Explorer or Firefox? Probably just Chrome being weird. |

Starting each browser up from cold and going to the same download link, the times before the "Save As" window appeared were as follows: IE 8.0.6 12 secs FF 3.6.17 6 secs Chrome 26 secs 18.0.1025.151 m I've tried clearing the cache but that hasn't made any difference Any other suggestions anyone? |

| 1268833 | 2012-04-09 00:40:00 | Might be because of the people who are on the site, at the same time as you. Probably not much you can do about it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1268834 | 2012-04-09 01:00:00 | That sort of thing sounds like it could be DNS resolving? Who's your ISP and what do you use for DNS? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
