Is anyone else having trouble downloading from this place? I first tried to download ICQ, and my download capped at 14 KBS. Next I tried to download Unreal Tourney 2003, and it capped again. I'm running a WiFi card off this comp, using a Linksys wireless router on my cable modem to access it. Windows XP reports my card is working optimally, 11 MPS transfer rate and a "very good" connection. Al my sites are booting up really fast and my games have no lag, it just seems any file I have to save to my HD is running slow as molasses. I've only tried download.com, so maybe thats it. I don't think any settings are capped, but im scratching my head here...

Probably download.com. You need to try other sites to make sure they are ok. If other download sites are slow (ie. 3 or more), than there is probably another issue going on. Although I have no idea what it could be.

Hmmm...I just tried downloading the latest patch from Unreal Tournament, and it's still running slow, around 10 KBS for downloads. I tried three different mirrors,and although they were all foreign, it seemed they were running slower than they should have. Still though, all the sites I visit boot up quickly, and internet games give me no lag.
The weirdest thing happens sometimes: when i try and visit a site, the "working offline" dialogue box pops up and tells me to go connect to AOL, the only ISP I have on this comp besides my LAN network with comcast, which my cable modem runs through.
Altogether, I'm just worried about my download speeds: I don't see how my wireless router could be capping this computer or something (11 MPS transfer rate), but my download speeds aren't up to what they were on my other comp. I haven't tested to make sure of this on my other comp, but I don't see why still should be lagging so slow for this comp's downloads anyways. Can anyone please offer some suggestions or something that I can do to check this out?
