Bird Fan Posted March 5, 2006 CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 You want to run me through that step again please. Open IE -> Tools -> Internet Options -> under the Temp. Internet Files option, click on settings -> Change the number to 1 -> ok -> apply. Close IE Clear cache using Ccleaner (www.ccleaner.com) Take a few consecutive tests. Your speeds probably won't be different, if they were being cached, you would be seeing really high speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted March 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 That has to be enough. Just a stupid question, which might be a key, it only happens on this site. Could something target this site only? Maybe my comp is zero'd in on this site? Is it possible? Still don't understand. I wonder if CA3LE has ever run into this situation before? Maybe a virus or ware of some sort? Maybe a setting in optimizer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you can't change them once they've been made. Just right click, then go to new, and then you should have three options: string, integer, or boolean. Click boolean, then copy the name network.http.pipelining, then select value. To make all this easier, you could just get the Fasterfox extension, it does all these things for you.

Some users consistently see speeds like that. (yes even on a 6000) You are just lucky enough to be on a really good segment of your transponder. That's one reason you need the 12k test to be the most accurate. Dway is a bursty connection to start with. I can watch my bandwidth monitor jump from 1500Kbps to 300Kbps and back up to 1600Kbps all in a matter of 3 seconds. If you are getting more high download bursts than low one's, then your average for the test will be higher. That's why larger tests are always more accurate because there is a larger test sample.

tommie gorman Posted March 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 8, 2006 ghostmaster then why does it only happen on this site, that is tthe weird part. And it only started a month ago. Just funky weird stuff. Especially with site having the BEST tester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted March 8, 2006 CID Share Posted March 8, 2006 I can think of only 2 or 3 things. One being that you might have a good route to this site. Most if not all the other test sites ive used are all Java Based.(not as accurate) I do know that when this site was updated with the new look, sometimes I will get crazy test results. I can watch my bandwidth meter showing a download at 1130Kbps, and the test result would give 1700Kbps. Are you using any software like Nortin Internet Security or McAffe that has firewalls or heavy duty real time scanning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted March 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 8, 2006 Did total recovery twice since it started, ccleaner at least once a week, virus and spyware free( double checked with every online scanner in forum posts) AVG Free, vcleaner, microsoft anti spyware, adware, Spybot, normally run IE6 with yahoo add on,Microsoft baseline analyzer, defragged at least twice a week, restart modem at least once a week, tried firefox, user profile hive cleanup, windows live safety scanner, TCP Optimizer old style from Rev's post. Also scan and get updates in safe about every other week. I think that is all i know! IE6 with no exceptions. Did not put Yahoo toolbar on this time.

ghostmaster Posted March 8, 2006 CID Share Posted March 8, 2006 Then I would recommend downloading a free bandwidth monitor, and watch it while you test at testmy, just to make sure it is accurate. I use FAPMON from www.copperhead.cc Helps me monitor FAP and speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
