I dont think you are downloading slow!
not fast though....but not too slow!
Nobody with cable can download with constant speeds of 1mb/sec

Try the tweak on www.cablenut.com
I think your downloads will go a lot faster than!

i think those people who got 1MB mean't
1 megabit. Megabit=.125 megabtyes.

For future reference mb is megabit
and MB is megabyte

Please back up yor registry if you have not, heres how:
First bring up REGEDIT, type REGEDIT in your run box and hit OK.
Under Registry at the top of the box, click on that, now click on Export Registry File, a box will come up asking where you want to export it to, just put it in your C drive, then name it at the bottem of box, Registry.
Click on save.
Now if you ever get in trouble or want the old regestry back, bring REGEDIT back up and click on Registry and click on import registry file, go to your C drive and click on registry and click open, reboot and your good to go.
Anytime you add a new program, backup again, any program, back it up to the same place as the last one, it will overwrite it. If you do not backup after each new program is instaled you will not have those setting's in regestry if you have to backup for some reason.


Do nothing else in this box as it is the heart of your computer, just what it says above and no more!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

Man,
I Have Slow downloads. When i download I usually get around 20 kilobites/per second to 50 kilobites/ per second. I have charter pipeline. They said that there in court and that they will know next week if they can get this new update in which they said i should be downloading at 100 kilobite/per second to 200.
I figure i should be downloading that now. I have a SB4100 Motoroloa Surfboard which is my cable modem and is that a good one..and could it be the cause of my SLOW connection..my bandwidth is also usually at 200 kbps!
