    My downloading sucks now and I don't know why.

    So I'm trying to download some files for a few games and my speeds have recently gone down the crapper. I used to be getting 180kb/s, but now I'm lucky if I get to about 35. This is on my desktop through a wireless connection.

    I'm still hitting my regular speed on my laptop through a wireless connection.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Firewall? What kind of files are you downloading that 180 kb/s is called "bad"? Unless they are over a gig I can't see it taking too long.

      Do you mean WIRED connection?

        What's bad is that I'm only hitting 30 kb/s. And no, my laptop connects wireless to the same router as this desktop.

        I'm download Guild Wars files, want to download a WoW patch, and hope I can download some music.

          Oh ok I get what you said now, your desktop is on a wireless...but why? Its not portable, wire that thing.

          Is there anyone else online in your house? Usually wireless signals' bandwidth is split between computers, and whoever is using more intensive programs will consume more bandwidth.

          Like before I got cable internet if I played Velociraptor it would eat so much bandwidth it would slow Jackies computer down to where the internet connection would actually time-out.

          Also running other things like YIM, AIM, MSN all needs a constant connection so that eats bandwidth, but very minimal, having a lot of windows open in Firefox that auto-refreshes will kill your bandwidth also.

            I'm running wireless because the router isn't basement, but my room is. I'm also the only one using any bandwidth at the moment.

              I dont know whats wrong anymore except maybe your wireless card is going bad? Im merely offering sites hoping one of them will help you.

                Maybe your ISP is throttling your bandwidth.

                      Well how else would I get it? By buying it?
