OK, so now that I got that kink sorted out (hasn't dropped a connection since I moved them), it'* time to settle my other gripe.

For some reason, all of my downloads seem to be limited to a total of 150 kbps, even though a speedtest says I get 1300kbps. I don't get it, is there some kind of limiter? I know that it can go faster, since I get spikes of 400-500 kbps when I first start it sometimes. Any thoughts?


Modem: Efficient Networks SpeedStream 5200
Router: D-Link WBR-2310

What are you downloading from? I.E. , LImewire, ect? Could the servers your downloading from be limiting the bandwith they give out to you?

Mozilla and uTorrent

Check your uTorrent settings to see if it limits your d/l speed. My limewire did until I changed it.

Believe me I know it'* not uTorrent. I've been using it for a while, and have fine-tweaked all of the settings

well then i dont know :? I havent ever had that problem but I use I.E. and Limewire

Two programs I will never, ever use

lol...they say limewire has spyware but i have enough security programs i aint worried...and i.e. aint so bad. yall are just picky. heck i remember back in the day when i couldnt get high speed in my neck of the woods and i had to use AOL and aol explorer...now that was bad.

update the routers firmware. that helped my problem.

hmm, that'* a good idea... But I'm gonna do it tomorrow, I'm pooped...


Let'* see if Bandit'* gonna be 2 for 2 with my networking problems
