thats 20 connections to an news server SSL i was at the pc when i watched it drop dead on 9pm from just under 6MB/s to 230KB/s (other room was streaming) that was in task manager as well as newsbin and server app that newsbin connects to showed 2 I/O server socket errors and hung an 3rd connection (2-3 of the connections then would randomly hang and make parts of the download appear as missing until i retry them) re setting the modem does not fix it only changeing the mac address does
i go home now before i cant drive home (this laptop is giveing me tunnel vision
)
i have an other topic for this just not sure if any one els has had these problems with speeds dropping i been with cable for +5 years aprt from the billing system in the past with C&W or NTL i had no problems with NTL (ok 1 dead modem and one reconnecting one both was replaced with self install option) or Virgin
