Making changes to your browser will not speed up your internet, all you did was attempt to speed Firefox up! It is almost impossible to speed up your internet, you get what you get, if your getting lower then stated by your ISP you need to talk to them. If you want to reset Firefox back to where it was, go here... http://www.browserland.com/how-to/restore-firefox-default-settings-without-uninstalling-it/ There is a saying out there, some people need to remember this... if it is not broke, don't fix it. You also have not mentioned what you have, Cable - DSL - Dial-Up - Heaven forbid Hughesnet.

Wow, guys your speeds do suck! I am at the furthest point on our loop, I am so far out they put me on range expander's or what they call bridges and I am on the 3/8 plan.. I get 3.3Mb Down and .836Mb up. Recently I had issues with slow speeds and they came out and found wiring issues in my house, the previous owner threw wire everywhere and it was acting like an antenna and picking up excess noise which in turn was making my modem go slower and work harder. My modem was working @ 100% which they do not like, I was told it will cause them to burn out prematurely and after the Verizon DSL engineer removed all excess wire it is now running at 45% and told me I could get and he showed me... I could get 7.5Mb if they would allow it. Great improvement on my whole setup, yeah I thought it was nothing to do with my wiring, why would it be my wiring? its worked fine for over a year... now it works better. So this is not a rub your nose in it, but if your not using certain outlets for your phone, disconnect them, check your wiring and get rid of old unused wire, loops of wire, disconnected wire, junction boxes and anything electrical near the phone wires! Do not run phone wires along with power wires they will receive noise from them, separate them by about 12", if you have to cross make sure its at 90°. This may or may not help you, but it is all worth a try, if all else fails, have them come out and meter your connection, to the box outside my house it was 45%, inside it was 100%, now my modem is matching the box just because of a few unused wires. Hope this helps.....

I have a verizon ProLine DSL modem on the 3Meg pack, what I am trying to do is get my router to use the IP address of the Modem and not its assigned IP from the router! I want to use DNYDNS service, but the router is reporting its IP and not the WAN IP.... when I go into set DMZ to the router, nothing is there, its blank.... any ideas anyone? Router is Linksys (Cisco) WRT160N V3 Modem is Software Version: VER:5.01.00.01 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: F90-610015-06

The only thing you can do is download all of your software from respected sources!

Never had an issue with firefox myself, I do a lot of browsing and its pretty stable, I do use No Script as a precaution also which help stop any scripts from running I am not sure about.

Maybe Comcast capped your upload, have you been abusing it or something?

Yes they do!

Been there also.... Not that they gave 2 shits either.... as Tommy said, good luck with it... I am going to stop back from time to time to see what progress if any you have made. Keep us informed ok... Best of luck to you.

A company like this should not be allowed to sell within the USA, but the Government has very deep pockets and whilst they are being filled by corporations we will continue to get raped on a daily basis.

So your speeds are no where near as advertised right? they never will be either... but your contract and hughesnet will tell you that your within their specs! you are screwed buddy, for another 1 year and 11 months.... Sorry to say that, but most of us on here are old pro's at the Hughesnet game, there is nothing you can do but put up with it. The game they play is very dangerous, trapping people in after the 30 days is bullshit and they know it... you could speak to a lawyer about it and see what can be done, after all they give you the 30 days to back out but then hit you after the 30 days with the crap speed. Keep all your stats, your going to need them to fight these fuckers, trust me and the rest of us, we have been there....

I would not say Kinda outdated..... Lawsuits like these take years..... you may still be able to jump on board and that is why I posted it. I was not aware of it being on hold right now, but that would answer my question as to why I have not heard anything in a while.

Found it for you..... check this topic out. http://www.testmy.net/t-25276

There is a law suit going around regarding Hughesnet practices, you may want to search the forum for it, I got on board about 8 months ago, funny thing is I have heard no more about it. In your case you have a good reason to jump on board, its a no win no fee case.

So I guess the new systems are no different to the old! I am glad I am away from them, 4 - 5 years of my money wasted on them.

They did the same to me many years ago too, its like a bait and switch tactic.

I got great pleasure in dropping my dish off of the roof at about 26 feet! it did not bounce to well and I sold the Transceiver on eBay for 99c LOL....... $500 in.... 99c out. Still I had to make repairs to my roof as well, seeing as the retard fitter decided to cause some damage when he was putting it in, it was also not secured to my trusses either, he screwed to to the decking of the roof!

Pretty sad to look at the team stats just to find there is about 3-4 of us doing this and no one else.... go check out the dates on most of them users, some last uploaded in 2006, some in 2008 3-4 in 2009! Come on people, let get crunching them numbers, its not going to hurt you or your computer, you don't have to leave it on all night, just run it when your using the machine or move it to your startup folder so it start on its own!

Yet being the word for the day, it was like that back in the day when I first got Direcway! then day after day they loaded more and more people on the same transponder as mine....... As I said above, if I did commit to a new contract I would still be there, and 3 months after this post DSL came to my house! I know I would have kicked myself.

Hey Muddy, how do I go about setting up for a quad?

UM well I am pretty new to this so you will have to bear with me ok, no need for the sarcastic comment. I am using the version that runs in the taskbar, the version that is graphical in nature, the GUI version... all the other as far as I can tell run on a command line do they not? I am not looking at the screen with all the protein looking objects or what ever you want to call them, I know this slows the machine down, it is running in my taskbar doing its thing, I downloaded the EXE file from F@H's website. Right now I believe one of the commands that Mudman gave me has speed it up, so I am hoping that will fix the issue with the 48 hour 1 unit issue, the CPU on the Server is not running at full speed and it is an AMD dual core (not 100% sure of the specs), I am also folding on my play machine that is an Intel Quad core and it is not even peaking past 20% on any of the processors. I will figure it out, I will see if it is running any better now, if not I will go to the other versions, the command line versions.

So is there any tips to speed up the GUI version of the software? I have a server that is churning out 1 work unit every 48 or more hours, would like to get as much out of this machine as possible....

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay and please do not feed the animals!

Latest Client and I am running the GUI interface on 2 PC's now, ones a dedicated server and my play puter.

Seems to be going real slow, is there a way to speed it up? Looks like I am doing 1 process in like 48 hours! is that normal or slow? Advice please.....

<<<<< is like pointing to my username, so yes that is ME! Folding or whatever, not sure what the lingo would be, all I know is my server is running the program and downloading stuff and things and bit and bobs and all that, but it is up and running since last night doing its thing.
