: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!!! :cool::!:

I'm on Rogers 5000/800

Hope it stays like this!!!

Are you sure you didn't start the file... stop, then re-start this can 'cause IE to calculate wrong, your results from here are right in line with what you say you normally get this is why i ask.

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

right click and 'save target as' --- post your screenshot :)

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!  :D  :?: What's that string value ???

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...  :oops: I even got one of those old 845's with through back SD's  :angry5: 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?
