slow speeds
 

Last weekend i installed a network card as everytime i tried encoding whilst i was also downloading, when i had USB to ethernet converter on it crashed my PC, but now i am on ethernet cable only, i seem to have to reboot quite frequent. The other night i was downloading at approx 5k/sec, and struggling big time, so i turned pc off left for 5 switched back on and hey presto - 80+k/sec....

Any sugegstions as why this is now happening

Re: slow speeds
 

How are you connected? SACM or Cable Modem? Also have you any software firewalls running, router in the mix, background applications running?

Re: slow speeds
 

The cable goes direct to cable modem from ethernet connection on network card
Have a f-secure AV/Firewall running, but that doesnt seem an issue
And there has been nothing else put on the system since the card was installed

Did you uninstall the USB driver for the modem/set top box, claret - and the ntl software if you installed that too?
