So I am downloading a game off of steam and getting like 100-200kb/s. I went to speedtest.com and it said I have a download speed of 11.72mb/s. What could be causing me to get such a low download speed off of steam?
My D/Speed or Download Speed is roughly 1.5MB.HOWEVER, when I download something it says I am only downloading 171.5KB/s have a look.Picture of speedtest.net STATING I have 1.42-1.50MB download:
Picture of Steam stating I am Downloading at 160-180KB/s:
Plus, If addition, the fact that this has been going on for over a year, and I haven't gone off and freaked out on my ISP is...
my internet is being slow. It 'uplink' speed is 7mbps. when downloading or just surfing the internet 'task manager' says that the computer is using below 5% of the internet's speed capasity. it never gets higher than this, is there any way to change this so that i can us the full potential of the internets speed.
So i recently purchased a new laptop, Lenovo y580, came with win7 home premium, 8gbs ram. But i noticed the downloading speed is around 30-100kb/s, which i have no problem getting 1mb/s on any of my other computers. I'm using comcast and i really doubt its their service, I tried to upgrade my wireless router firmware, reinstalling the wireless adapter, and they didn't seems to work.
Before 2 - 3 days I bought a PC with wireless lan (RP-WP5122E WL-N PCI-E ADAPTER). I have and laptop, too. My router is Linksys WRT160NL. The laptop have a wireless card with G standart. On speed test makes 14 - 17 Mbps download, which is normal. When I try to download something on my PC maximum speed is 400 - 600 kbps, on speed test is 2 - 4 Mbps. When I connect my PC with cable to my router speed was 10MB/s (80 - 85 Mbps). I try to change channels on wireless network, but there is no change. I downloaded the latest drivers for this WLAN, but the speed is the same. I change the slot on the mainboard and to flash the firmware on my router, but there is no change.
I am getting 50% downloading speed when I connect through wireless router (Tp-link wr740N) but the browsing speed is ok and speedtest,net also giving good result only download speed is slow. When I connect directly from modem, I get 100% speed but when I connect wirelessly through router I get 50% downloading speed.
i want to know suppose i have two internet connection and i want to merge both connection ...one of my friend told mi yes it is possible but you need router ...so is it possible
I recently got cable internet that goes up to 20Mbps in download speed. I even went to an internet testing site to test the speed and got back a result of 17Mbps.Anyway, when I download a file, it's only downloading at 200KB/sec, and that's right after I tested the connection speed of 17Mbps. When I had DSL at 5Mbps, it went about 600KB/sec (which makes sense), now that I have this cable internet that's faster, the download speed is slower
I'm having an issue with my laptop. Although, from my provider, it should be possible to establish a connection at 25'000 kbit/s (download), max speed is at about 800 kbit/s. I'm only about 20 feet away from where the router is located and I don't use any phones (except for a cell phone). I read on this board, that I might have to change the wireless settings on the router and change the radio band but didn't manage to do so. I'm using Mac osx and a wireless connection.
i have a little annoying problem with my E4200. V1 with the latest 04 fw. It seems, that after many hours of downloading at full speed (only one torrent at a time) the speed goes down, and up again, and becoming unstable. My max download speed is 1.5 Mb/s, and it can drop from that, to 50 kb/s, and then up again. and i have no internet access when that happens, but it only last 10-20 seconds and then its back again. Sometimes i get that yellow warning sign on the taskbar which says "No Internet Access" but not always.
Seems like its happening after many hours of downloading at full speed. im on the latest firmware, have tried different channels, 20 Mhz only on Channel Width, different names on the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels.. i use the 2.4Ghz channel btw. Otherwise its stable, and i have had no problems while gaming online.
I have a Netgear 600 dual band router connected to a DOCIS 3.0 cable modem with a 25mps internet connection from my ISP, should be fast right? When I run a speed test on my comp I get 10-13 mbps download on average. Here's the issue, upon visiting my mothers house and running the same speed test I got very similar results. She is running a Lynksys G router on a DOCIS 2.0 cable modem with 12mps connection. My question is, how can this be so, am I at the limits of my comps g network card? as a disclaimer I would like to note I am connected to the G band on both routers.
my internet will cut out randomly wheneveer i am downloading something, and the only way to get my internet back is when i unplug / plug back in my ethernet cable, or restart the computer. Also whenever i do this once, it will randomly disconnect when im not downloading every hour or so and i will have to either disconnect / reconnect my ethernet, or if i restart my PC it will fix it for like 4-5 days if i didnt download anything at all or sometime during a download if i did download something. Also it is only my PC that does this, i can download from my laptop / xbox fine and if my PC is disconnected i still have internet from my modem / router, just not the PC. I am guessing this has something to do with my motherboard. i am using windows 7?
I have a Dell Latitude D530 - I am only able to,download at a speed of 2.95 while I can upload at nearly 7,My PC that is attached to the same provider will,download at 7.84 and upload at 7.96.
I have a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit,and whenever I try to download ANYTHING from any website,the download always stops at about 2Mb, as if IE just wont allow anything over 2mb to be downloaded.Nothing wrong with my connection (just a bit slow, compared to the rest of the world), and I have no anti-virus running or other protection software.
I got new internet connection some days back (like 3-5 days ago), and since then, when I try download at night time when I'm sleeping, my internet disconnects me? I'm downloading with JDownloader by the way. I didn't get "new" internet, well.. I basically did, but yeah... This is how I got "new" internet.I used to have same ISP, but it was 24mb internet, and gave just 12mb to be honest, so I got 100mb instead. But since I got this 100mb internet connection, it disconnects me at night time, I don't know why. I've tryed to lock my PC as I download, I've tryed to keep completely on the whole PC, but still no. Always disconnected when I wake up.
Is there something I could do about it? When I had the old 24mb internet, it didn't disconnect me really... never. Just once in a while, like once in month or something but that ain't much. Is there something I could do?My download speed, it should give me 8-12mb/s (I'm not sure though), and I can't do speedtest.net thing right now because I'm downloading at daytime then instead of night time, because I can't download at night time... But yeah, my download keeps jumping from 500kb/s to 12MB/s (12 mb/s is more true than 500kb/s), shouldn't it give me the full speed all the time? Or keep it above 6mb/s anyways? Not like 500kb/s - 5mb/s that it usually is. There's just 1 LAPTOP (I'm using wires, PC you know) connected on this very same internet too, but it's wireless. It keeps jumping, either somebody uses the laptop or not, it doesn't matter
whenever I start downloading any large file I start getting DNS lookup errors from Chrome. I can still download the file and even connect using TeamViewer so I am still connected to the internet is some fashion. My roomate is connected to the same network wirelessly and has not had the issue yet. I am currently connect directly to the router which a Belkin.

I downloaded the HOSTS file from winhelp2002.mvps.org, hoping it would better my security. However, now some pictures that used to show either show the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." or just have the X box thing. I'm guessing this problem results from the new HOSTS file. What should I do? Should I revert to my old file? If so, then how can I do this?
Recently, whenever I download something my internet will just crash for a second, I think it may be realted to my router because the internet light on my router changes from the connected state (solid blue) to the connecting state (flashing orange) at the same time. The router I use is a belkin router and I have access to its gateway using my internet browser. recently reformatted my c drive to fix a bsod on this pc, before this reformat this problem did not exist.
Whenever I try to download anything with my computer, my Internet stops working and I must restart my computer in order to get it back. This only happens with my computer, since others in the house dont have the same issue.As strange as it may seem, this doesnt happen with Bittorrent. Only with regular downloads.
I have a PS3 and I just got wireless internet. I was excited to update games and such and I knew it would be fast because both are close together. Every time I get done downloading one update, it gives me an error and I've found it to be dmz. It works on every other device but that one. I'm using a brand new Apple Airport Express and it's fully configured and I use Vista.
I just built my first comp and everything is up and running..no problems for about a week. but now my internet is slow... like 10 ks slow.i am on satalite internet with my comp on a lan cable to the router. my wife's laptop is wireless.. both seem to run fine with explorer etc, but when i try to download updates for games or comp, all but stalls out.
Whenever I download from µTorrent, Steam, or Firefox, on any computer in the network, I can't access the internet through a browser.Skype, MSN, and Steam still work, however.I've randomized µTorrent's ports multiple times, but nothing's working. As well, I have tried disabling all firewalls on both systems, but with no luck.
I'm having a issue where my internet will disconnect in middle of download and reconnect in like 10sec. I know its my computer cuz i can play on xbox live no problem all day. I'm running wireless it does not matter I can be wired and it will still do it. It does it while Skype,youtube downloading a file anything that requires a download and its very annoying. Its been doing it for months now and I don't remember when it started. It's not just here I took it to my parents house still did it. So i know its not my route
I bought a new linksys router. Set it up and now when I am downloading something and surfing the web I can't connect to websites (DNS lookup fails). However, the download continues fine. This problem seems to be isolated to my Mac, as the other computer in the house work fine. Qos is disabled.
I just discovered that my wireless download speeds are 5Mbps, compared to 16Mbps if my laptop is connected directly to the modem or wired through the router. Uploads are 2Mbps either way. I have a WRT54GS v.6 with firmware version v1.52.8 which I updated today, completed by setting factory default through the router webpage after I discovered this discrepancy. The firmware update did not improve the download speed appreciably, if at all.Should the wireless connection be that much slower than the wired connection through the router? If not, what sort of issues could I be having to account for this?
I did just replace my modem when I discovered I was having erratic speedtests and that corrected that problem. That is when I became aware of the wireless issue, so not sure how long that has been the case. I have Charter's 16/2 HSI, living in a sparsely populated area with solid internet service. There is no external nor internal interference on this 2.4Ghz band.
I have a Arris DLS with 12 Mbps Download and when I Connect my laptop directly I get the same speed as 12 Mbps but when I do the speed test with my linksys I get only 5 Mbps. How to upgrade to the new WRT54GL or WRT54GS?
Recently my desktop has experienced very slow download speeds (~0.11 Mbps), however the upload speed appears to be in line (~2.0Mbps). These numbers are taken from Comcast's speed test (my ISP). It is obviously a problem with my PC because everything else on the network (PS3, Laptop) have great signals with no problems. I just recently reverted the Desktop back to its factory state, and everything was working fine for a couple of months. The desktop in question uses Vista 32-bit and the Belkin Basic USB Wireless Adapter.
