I was just wondering, what your speed depends on? Like, does the hard-drive interface affect the speed of download?

But on a different website, it started at 200kB/s, but then VERY quickly dropped to 40kb/s. Actually, at download.com, it started at about 1.3mb/s but also dropped very quickly to about 1mb/s and in the 800/900's as the download progressed. Do you know why this is? And why some servers have slower speeds? Thanks. Also, you said: 'With cablenut upen, run the .ccs file which is closest to your advertised speeds (I'd suggest starting with "Cable & DSL 6000 384.ccs"). ' So, should I change it again, or just continue with that speed? Thanks =)

O.K. The URL you posted, I'm going to answer each number =) 1. What OS are you running? Windows XP. That p2p fix for SP2, do I really need to d/l it? I'm really trying to increase my d/l speed using the internet, I'm not interested with p2p d/l speeds right now. 2. ISP = Shaw, I think it advertised 5mbps or was it 7? 3. Haven't installed/used any tweaking utilities. Heres the DSLreports website report: http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweakr/block:447cb70?service=cable&speed=5000&os=winXP&via=normal 4. I told you my speed already =)

Thanks for the fast reply, Whats a traceroute? =P, I'm a complete noobie. Who your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is: Shaw (shaw.ca) I haven't installed any tweaking utilities yet. Thanks.

I'm having some trouble with my connection. Now, I'm really new to most of this so I probably won't understand what a lot of you say. Anyways, I recently switched from ADSL to Cable, and I'm pretty sure that the cable's speed was advertised as much more than ADSL. :::..

Anyways, I really cannot see any difference. My download speeds (using IE) are usually even slower on Cable than when I had ADSL. When I had ADSL, I would download a file using IE and it would be about 110~200 kb/s. Now, for the same file, it rarely goes up above 100. Thanks. Any help is appreciated =)
