| 479953 | 2006-08-21 21:59:00 | Most times I download at between 2/300 whatevers. But from some sites my speed drops to about 7 kbs and at one site it's down to under 1 kbs. Like 22 hours to download a 7 mb. file. What could be the reason for this? Doesn't matter what time of day or night it's always the same. |

| 479955 | 2006-08-21 23:10:00 | You should use a download manager program like Getright which searches for the fastest sites to download from. Trevor :) |

Like Trev said though, get a download manager such as FlashGet (http://www.flashget.com/) (which is now freeware) and queue the file up. Just let the download manager to the work of resuming the file if the connection is broken etc. | autechre (266) | ||
