spitzzz78 Posted May 16, 2005 CID Share Posted May 16, 2005 :haha:I was told that browser speed ratings are not acurate with small files as shown in my previous posts. I was told to download a larger file, I did and sure enough I usually got about 550-650KBs which is about right, Then I went to Update nero and I got this!!! I'm on Rogers 5000/800 Hope it stays like this!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this, download the same file --- but I am going to put a string at the end that will make sure that your getting a fresh un-cached file http://httpdl.nero.com/NVE-3.1.0.7.exe?42425 right click and 'save target as' --- post your screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitzzz78 Posted May 16, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 16, 2005 I did this several times making sure to clear the arp and temp folder. Mostly I got like the first pic, then I got th 800 or so one. Also I attached a pic of a cached run which clocked at a ridiculous 17 MBs so I don't think that's it either. Anyway thanks alot for the input! What's that string value ???

php Posted May 17, 2005 CID Share Posted May 17, 2005 how long do you wait until you actually save the file? IE starts downloading as soon as you click the link... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitzzz78 Posted May 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 17, 2005 Thanx alot, I really appreciate you takeing the time to pound a reply. Yes I'm aware of that quirk, I try to click quikly, and quickly I did click! g's try to typr that three times fast! I have got lots of great feedback and I'm told that this is normal for cable connections. I have had 3000/384 service for a few years and was lucky to clear 250KBs. Then Rogers dug up my street and Volia. I had never seen any home service run like that and I'm still jumping off my old 1.7 willamette, Please don't laugh... I even got one of those old 845's with through back SD's HEY! I said NO LAUGHING but seriously I'm just glad that this old girl can still chew through most of what I throw at her Anyway shouts to everybody who filled this net lagged canuck in on the squack. May I ask? what was the string that asks for a fresh copy?? As you can see I'm still windows bound, and yeah I know this makes me a dim bulb, but I'm attempting to paste myself back in the loop thanks for all the iNFO. P.S. anybody got a favorite linux dist. I should check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
