Swimmer Posted November 2, 2004 CID Share Posted November 2, 2004 hmm... that is odd.. as you sure that the page isnt being cached in IE? Or even if it ever existed...

If you download at like 3mb/sec i'll believe you. i hope its just a cache problem, but ive deleting it all like crazy. i checked for spyware and viruses, so now i just need to wait to go home and check ie again. lol, if i got 3mb/sec, dont u think id be bragging and rubbing it in ur faces? highest ive ever dled anything at was 1mb/sec and that was only for a second then it fell rapidly...

CA3LE Posted November 3, 2004 CID Share Posted November 3, 2004 I don't understand because nobody else has any problems. Are you running any firewall software or anything?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Posted November 3, 2004 Author CID Share Posted November 3, 2004 no i keep all my firewalls off when testing. i actually never run zone alarm while using the internet because im always on forums and it logs me out for some reason. the only time i ever use zone alarm is for clearing my cache and history and stuff and when im doing something like defragmenting where im not using the computer.

Guest wmmc Posted November 3, 2004 CID Share Posted November 3, 2004 Not sure if it would apply to you or not: http://www.williammc.com/pages/firefox_tweak.html If you do better right down before modifying, probably wont need below restart Firefox.

RTB Posted November 5, 2004 CID Share Posted November 5, 2004 Exactly, there is something that's keeping it busy. But as this was a family comp, I have to wait until the other members of the family backed their data up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
