    Increasing download speed?

    Well, I have horrible downloading speed, it starts off at almost 2MB a second, but then in just a second it goes to about 1, and just keeps decreasing til it gets to about 20 kb a second, and plus I'm using vista if that would help. I found one site to increase it, but that's how I got it to 2MB in the first place. Could anyone help?

    download speed is dependent on a few things. One is your speed and the other is what the site will allow.

    Where are you trying to download from?

      Front-loaded speed is normal. I highly doubt you are truly capable of downloading at a constant 2MB/s.

      Regardless, it's true that you will download slower from certain places that throttle back the speed, so just ignore it.

          Just tried to download it myself.

          It starts off slow, but then it stays over 700 KB/s.

          Odd.

              Site is downloading at 800 kb/s for me. Maybe you have port issues or firewall issues.

              Edit: Maybe you have run out of your monthly bandwidth. Not sure how that works.

                So I would need to wait a few days til I can download faster again?

                  Potentially, maybe not though.

                    800 kb here.

                    You can't really speed up your internet through a browser, unless you havent forwarded ports and things like that.

                    You could try downloading some of the tweak programs, they can fiddle with your tcp/ip settings for you.

                    You shouldn't talk down to people you don't know anything about, acting like you know more and then try to show them up in the forum. That's how you get absolutely no where.

                        All depends on where the download is from.
                        It can be from god knows where and take forever, then other times it can be right next door and take no time at all.
                        That and ISP can make a big difference.

                            Add me on Perfect World, ya homo (Zurenriri)

                            Also, a lot of their servers are in Asia somewhere, so slow speed is to be expected.
