It's better, but not the best. All I did was try to directly connect to the modem, didn't work, so put setup like it was before. /shrug Seems I'm back up to speed.. :::..

My ISP said nothing is abnormal on their end, and nothing changed on my end. Reset router/modem, it didn't change a damn thing, then a few days later it's back to normal. WELP, I'm off.

I can download fine from other sites.. 1.12MB/sec from Fileplanet. Just it's horrible here and on all the mirrors. /shrug

I don't use firewalls. Don't run antivirus/antispyware programs, I manually scan what I want when I want. I'm not a paranoid freak like other people. I have windows services nicely configured, my system is top knotch. My computer/router is DMZ enabled, router is perfectly configured, hasn't changed since last visit. I'm very experienced with computers, average for net stuff, wouldn't matter for this though. Larger files just waste more time. And magically my speed is even lower.

Optimum Online, New Jersey. Hasn't changed since the last time I've come to the site. First two pictures are from my last visit. The last one is current. The upload is basically the same so no reason to post another. So as you can see, it's the site, not me.

Haven't visited the site in about 3 weeks, it looks completely different, and the speeds are absolutely horrible. Reason for the slow speeds?

Don't know if you can get it where you live, but uh... www.tigerdirect.com www.newegg.com
