Better to use a download manager that uses multiple downloads and actually adds the speed up properly.

my computer is about 6 or 7 years old mate, am saving up to get a custom built one though.

Its a Microsoft Windows XP Version 2002

Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU

wife has a laptop that works wireless off it which is only 18 months old - Dell Studio 1749 : Intel i3-370M(2.4GHz) Mobile CPU

Grr.

Useless results.

[Blairhoyle]

even if its an old(ish) computer should that still affect my latency?

That, and different web browsers do different things in the same situation.

she's busy with her work on it just now mate.

so do you reckon all my issues will be sorted one I get my new custom built desktop?

when I was doing speedtests when I first got VM it was hitting 50Mb on speedtest.net

[thenry]

well yeah but it all needs to balance. custom built suggests itll be able to handle most things on the whole. what you buying?
