Seriously sounds like a capacity issue, even though it apparently isn't. Do you have any routers or anything? And which firewalls/anti-virus are you using?
Hi,

Yup, thats correct, speed of downloads from any browser, FF or IE, seems to be struggling to reach 150k, whereas, if I download something from Giganews using Newsbin, I get 9.3 MB.

I am using a D-Link DI-604 Wired Router, with DHCP disabled, etc. AntiVirus is Kaspersky 6.0.2.621. No software firewall is used, they tend to be far to bloated nowadays.

Thanks, Andrew.

PS:

NedKelly, didn't mean to sound nasty, read it then I think it did sound that way, so appologies, and I'm off in a strop now.
