Use sneakers. Adidas nentwork, run to a friend with good connect, download and burn it, run back home and install. Usually faster than 8 days :))

Yeah I use Opera... Its pretty nice.

Well my connection is finally somewhat good... 1 minute to download now. ;)

Too bad it had to work, right before I have to get ready for work... :(

Alright, so I had this fubared connection earlier today, and when I thought the download was going smooth, then I drop down to another day for the remaining 20mb I had left to download...

SO, I decide to do a system restore, back to factory settings.  Now my connection seems to be doing better, what could have caused this? and what should I do if it happens again?

I would check for spyware if I were you, do you have Microsoft's antispyware program installed, if not go to microsoft.com and download it and run a full spyware scan.

Well im running 6.6KB/s again, even after system restore to factory settings.

I don't know what the hell is going on here, but its not fun.  I haven't been able to log on for the entire weekend. :(

There is a program called "hijack this" that you can run, it will show what is in the startup and other services that are running, you could then post that to the board and we could have a look at it but before that I would just run the Microsoft antispyware program that I mentioned in the above post.

A bit OT:  Lazerr, you have an Intel graphics chip, right?  I need to know what settings in the "Video Setup" you are using.  You can PM them to me or email them.

Thanks in advance!
