| 620109 | 2007-12-10 23:49:00 | Hi there, I'm new to this site and I'm glad that your taking the time to read my question/problem. First of I'm new to this so if i say anything weired please feel free to correct me. I have a modem from shaw and because of other necessary things i got my self a router. If you need detail of what router it is ill Post if necessary but for now i would like to know if using a router with more then one PC is supposed to slow down the Internet? Right now i have the router plugged into my PC and the modem in to the router, of course you knew that already :). But I'm also using the router for the iPod Touch and the PS3 both WiFi. And i want to know if the speed of the Internet is split for all three systems, or can i make it so that all the systems are getting the same amount that the modem gave me when i dint get the router witch was 512kbps? Anyways what I'm trying to ask is can all the systems have a Internet speed of 512kbps or is it split? Oh and one more thing dont know it might be me but is the router for any reason supposed to slow down the speed and how can i make it faster if possible. Thank you for helping me and for ensuring my question. Thank you. Miroslav |

The only way to make it faster, is too pay more for a higher speed. It may also depend on WHAT and WHERE you're downloading files / whatever from. NOT all sites download at the same speed. |

| 620111 | 2007-12-11 00:11:00 | Thank you, and one more question if you dont mind. I got a hard drive of 500GB i start off with around 455GB, now I'm good with that, but thats not my problem. The problem I'm having is that for some reason i lose about 60GB to something and i dont know to what, and it keeps going back down relay fast then back up, one minute i would have 391GB the next 429 then 378... i know its not games because the only game i have on the PC is the call of duty 4... witch is like 4-7GB and couple of other programs for video and movie players. Any suggestions. Thank you. Miroslav |

| 620112 | 2007-12-11 00:16:00 | Could be all the temp files etc on it . Programs when u install them install temp files etc before whatever program installs . Browsers also use cache, which store sites you visit, until you clear the cache BOTH of these take up space . Get ccleaner (http://www . ccleaner . com) Install it (untick the Yahoo toolbar thing, you dont need it) . Close browsers . Then click on run cleaner . It should get back some of the space . |

| 620113 | 2007-12-11 00:27:00 | hm..........60gb would be a hell of a large amount of temp/cache files.....about the only thing I can think of that might use up that much would be temp/cache files used for /created during dvd writing/ripping. get yourself 'spacemonger' if you would like an easy to understand graphic representation of what is on the drive and where it is - can be very handy. AS for the connection. Well your speed is only split between the devices depending on how many devices are accessing the net at the same time. For example if you have two computers connected thru the one adsl connection and one pc is downloading stuff then it'll get full speed (or pretty damn close to it) if thats all that is happening however if both pc's are downloading a the same time then they'll share the speed...... |

| 620116 | 2007-12-11 00:48:00 | What ISP and plan do you have? 512kbps seems a strange download connection speed, I have only seen a 512 speed in relation to upload, not download. Usualy the "budget" broadband is 256, then some have the next level of 2000 kbps (2 megabit) and most just have "up to" 7.6 megabit, or "as fast as your line will go" Yours at 512 down I dont understand maybe different in your country, wherever that is :) |

I have installed CCLEANER on many computers and the 2 largest in terms of garbage removed on the first run, was 4.7 gb (Yes Gigabytes) and 4.8 gb Most are 200 to 1000 meg |
