got a new compy recently. Windows 7. I skipped Vista, so it's a new layout for me. I use a Dynex Wireless card to connect. Comcast highspeed cable modem. Browsing speeds are decent. No problems watching youtube for instance. But if I try to download ANYTHING it's soooooooo slow! I mean, I'm getting a download rate of like less than 30kbps. That's KB's not MB's!!!
My wife's laptop (XP) is not experiencing the same thing, so I can't help but conclude that this is a Windows 7 (or Internet Explorer 8 -- or both) issue. ANyone have experience with this issue?

Do you both have different ip addresses?
Providers have many ways of making your download experience a nightmare when prompted. New laws are being implemented as we speak.. |

my downloads were fine until I got the new computer though. Same provider and all?

That could be the problem right there.
Maybe they are trying to tell you something. Seriously, keep a low download profile, or your access to files could halt to a stop. Just what I've been hearing lately. |

I was trying to download a jpg. It was 3MB. If that's a high download profile...

Do you clean your registry? I have heard that speeds up downloads.

It all adds up at the end of the day. Music, photos, etc.
I might be wrong about this, but I've come across it a little to often lately. They start off by subtly slowing down your downloads and then suddenly out of nowhere.. poof! It's all over the internet. |

Ps: It's referred to as "Protocol Agnostic” network management,
which basically means "You wait in line" till they decide when you can come back into the classroom. It's a new trend amongst providers. |

At least your effing dynex device actually works. I had a wireless doohickey that totally hosed one of my computers and never actually worked. I suspect that is the issue.
Can you hook up a wire and see what happens?

I understand yr fear of the rise of the robots, but I just tried on hers and it downloaded the same 3MB pic in about a 2 seconds. And honestly, there's not much to add up. I haven't been downloading much of anything in months. My wife has never downloaded a single thing, so... MY GUESS IS that Windows 7 isn't keen on the driver for my WiFi card that's installed on my desktop (a Belkin device that has no updated Win7 driver).

plug computer directly into modem and see if the problem ceases.
if not, uninstall driver and then try reinstalling. or buy a new wifi device... |

I meant reinstalling the old driver.
my son connects via a crappy Belkin USB stick and Win7, so it should work. |

okay so if anyone cares, I figured it out. My wifi card had no Win7 drivers. I got a new wifi card with Win7 drivers and I'm golden. Thanks all for trying to help.
