• My download speed is under 1kb/s?!?!
    16 replies, posted
Ok...This has been happening for awhile now. About a week. My download speed was a normal 700kb/s. I have a 12.0mb/s connection. It still says I have that connection speed but now I'm not even get 1KB a second! It's a steady .5 or .8 kb/s. About 3 days ago it was 118 which was still very slow compared to what I had before but I could deal with that. This is just fucking ridiculous. Is someone stealing my fucking bandwidth? What the fuck is going on? I can load pages and everything just fine but when I try to download something I just can't do it. I have another computer hooked up to my router but its not using the internet. Is there anyway I can check to see what is going on and how to prevent it?? And yes I already called my ISP and they said everything is fine... Someone Please help!!
Are you torrenting anything? When you are downloading, is it only from one site or anywhere?
[QUOTE=The Chef;19522057]Are you torrenting anything? When you are downloading, is it only from one site or anywhere?[/QUOTE] I'm not torrenting anything. It's download from a site. I've been fucking with Internet Cyclone and HiJack This and now I'm running a scan with AVG and I'm going to run House Call. This is just completely fucking ridiculous. Also running Rootkit Buster.
12Mb/s? you should have way more than 700KB/s in the first place. You should have like 1,4MB/s. [editline]08:19AM[/editline] I have a 7,5Mb connection, and i get 900KB/s maximum. [editline]08:20AM[/editline] Also. try to reset your router, create a new password, etc.

Are you absolutely sure that its not the server you are downloading from ? If you could only download with .5kb/sec your own avatar would take 14seconds to load..

I've download a file just today that was 6mbs and it took somewhere between 5 and 7 minutes. I'm also trying to update a steam game and I'm getting 80kb/s...

If it's not, then it's probably just the external servers.
