| 691176 | 2008-07-22 09:08:00 | I use a laptop with an express card to go on line with. When I download Vodafones meter says downloading at between 250kb/sec and 1.3mb/sec but my Firefox meter says only 8kb/sec to 140kb/sec. Where did the difference go? Is it a wrong setting in windows firewall and what should I have these set at I don't know what most of the things here are.netlogon,network discovery,network tunnel whatsit. | Roger Hunt (13648) | ||
| 691177 | 2008-07-22 09:22:00 | Dont think windows firewall will slow it down. It may depend on what site and where the files are With some ISP's downloading files from overseas can be slow sometimes |

| 691179 | 2008-07-23 03:46:00 | I could be it just says kb/sec but its slow. | Roger Hunt (13648) | ||
| 691180 | 2008-07-23 03:49:00 | Dont think windows firewall will slow it down. It may depend on what site and where the files are With some ISP's downloading files from overseas can be slow sometimes most of my downloads are from USA and are video. |

| 691181 | 2008-07-23 03:54:00 | Thats probably why then. Sometimes downloading from the US can be slower than a snail |

| 691182 | 2008-07-23 05:38:00 | Roger Hunt, the quality of your download source is most likely the reason. Without knowing what source we are all talking about makes it impossible to give a informed response. As above its not going to be Windows firewall slowing you down, and if you are unconvinced, turn it off for a few minutes to confirm (although your wasting your time). |

| 691184 | 2008-07-23 09:54:00 | Well meters can be wrong If youre using XP's firewall, there's not a lot to configure |
