Hello. I'm very interested to know how fast the following website downloads to your computer: http://www.myfavoritecharacter.com... \n\nIt is an web store selling children's products, and we're getting feedback from some visitors that they're having trouble accessing/downloading pages. I'm trying to figure out if these are isolated events or if there is a bigger problem.\n\nIf you could access the website and surf 4-5 pages, and tell me approximately how many seconds each page takes to download on your computer, as well as what type of internet connection you have, I would greatly appreciate it!!\n\nThank you so much!

BE CAREFUL!!! This might or might not be legitimate. It could be a porn site disguised as innocent stuff but it's not really. Or there could be another devious purpose for this question. Use discretion to decide whether to open it or not. \n\nTo the asker, if this is legitimate, I am very sorry, but I know that people do take advantage of others with something like this. If I'm correct though, you should be extremely ashamed of yourself!

Yup!\n     So many ways...... but depends upon your connection type if from modem then it's always slow.... in Comparision to others.... So varies\n \n-------- HOWEVER ONE THING IS COMMON FOR SLOW PROBLEM THAT INTERNET EXPLORER CACHES VISITED PAGE AND LOADS... THEM SO ALLL THE VISITED PAGES ARE RECORDED.... SO QUITE SLOW.... DUE TO THIS SO DELETE ALL HISTORY... GOING TO TOOLS AND INTERNET OPTIONS FROM INTERNET EXPLORER\n\nTHAT WON'T REMOVE TOTALLY.... SO DELETE IT FROM INTERNET OPTIONS.... FROM CONTROL PANNEL...... SO IF U DO THIS..... THEN IT'LL BE QUITE FAST THEN PREVIOUS ONE!...

How fast images load in your browser depends on two things:  the speed of your Internet connection and how large the file size of the image is.  \n\nSince broadband Internet is so readily available now, a lot of designers have abandoned the age old art of shrinking files sizes and saving images in web formats.  The pictures look great but if you're still using a 56K modem it'll take forever to download.\n\nTo avoid this, make sure you use just the amount of pixels you need and a don't depend on the HTML image configuration to resize it for you.  Even though the image looks smaller the file size hasn't changed.\n\nAlso, you don't need 32-bit color on EVERY image.  If you're using Photoshop, use the option that lets you save images for web more often and pay attention to how long it'll take the image to download on a 56K modem.

There are a few windows tweaks to improve the performance, but make sure the problem is with ALL downloads before you start messing with the registry. \nTry a site like download.com and check the speed there.\nMany sites have crappy internet connections or otherwise limit the speed they upload files to the internet.

Downloads are different than just browsing the internet.  Downloads are ALWAYS slower than the connection speed.  This due to different factors, including the server the website your downloading form is being hosted on, the number of current internet users on your cable network (if using cable internet), the quality of your internet provider, and others.

Hi Student X,\n\nI joined a very famous internet marketing company recently and paid big bucks for the knowledge that you are looking for.\n\nAs part of the overall membership they offer their members a full course of 256 videos that guide you through setting up websites but you need a username and password to "unlock" the page.\n\nIf you want you can use mine. I know that desperate feeling when you want to set up a website but just don't know how.\n\nJust go to www.protry.com\n\nusername = members\nmypassword= candy\n\nIt's literally the best package I have ever seen offered on the interent for helping people build websites and the videos are so easy to follow that you'll be up and running in no time.\n\nHope this helps,\n\nGoodluck,\n\nColin

For most online work and word processing, it's plenty fast.  Your problem might be that Windows is overloaded with junk or infected with spyware - it happens even to much faster PC's.\n\nHopefully you still have a copy of Windows that you can reload.  I recommend backing your stuff up to DVD or a 2nd hard drive and then formatting your hard drive.  You can search the net for help...

If your IP is filtered out on that site, you may visit it using "proxy server".\nThere are some lists of them, try this for example:\nhttp://tools.rosinstrument.com/proxy/\n\nJust check is it block from your PC and is its connection speed enough for you.\n\nTo use proxy go to Internet Explorer menu Tools/Internet options/Connections tab/LAN settings/Proxy server

Unfortunately, I can't access the URL from my work computer (stupid surf access denied...) but I like COB and I'm sure it's awesome! I've pasted the URL and emailed it to my home address, so I'll definitely get back to you!!!

Maybe you dont have enough memory to run those sites,check your files to see they're huge. You could also check My Computer to see how much memory really is left.\n\nAlso, some websites have flash programs that take a lot of time to load---that might be another reason. Or if you're using an old model, the sites you're trying to open might just not be compatible with it. For me (since I don't have much patience with that stuff) I'd just buy a larger memory. Like 1 Gb worth (if you're really into downloading stuff)

you can do ping tests and give them the results...\nstart, run, type "command" on black screen type "ping www.whatever.whatever" <-- not a real url and don't use the " " marks\ndifferent pages will give you different results, in theory the further away it is the longer it will take to ping back.\n\nbut just a note, don't be too hard on the tech support people, they can't really do much to help you with this, and get yelled at all day by people upset that they aren't actually pulling pages as fast as their connection or modem claims to be.  its very frustrating for us...ah, them, sorry about that, not one anymore, but it dies hard.

Hello,\n   It may be loss of memory or performance you are lacking because the site seems to work fine with my PC. may i suggest running spware checkers and a virus scan. In this situation i would;\n\n1: Download AVG free edition (brilliant)\n2: Spybot Search And Destroy\n3: Ad-Aware 6.0\n4: Defragment your system using the disc cleanup tool in teh control pannel\n5: restart your computer after you have run all these checks. i Am sure your problem will be resolved in a few hours. And it should leave ure computer sparkling clean inside.\n\nHope This information has proven helpfull

It deends on a lot of things,\na)What is your connection speed.Is x be it then  X/8  is the max download speed possible in Kb/s.Eg:For a 256 Kbps connect,32-40(max)kb/s possible\nb)It also depends on the number of Sources who have the same file and who are online\n\nRegarding the other detail,depending on the legality of the file in question , other sources are possible!!!

what operating system are they both running? has it worked before? Were there any recent system changes? I'm thinking it might be a difference in the configuration and all...but I'm not really sure. I need more information to determine the problem.\n\nactually...if it's only certain webpages and all and you've already been there before...it might very well be that those pages are cached (temporarily stored on your hard drive), in that instance...instead of going online to the page, it simply loads from your hard drive instead.\n\ndo a virus scan. also check your firewall settings on that computer. hope that helps

Of course, always make sure you are connected to the internet. It also might have a small glitch in it, which would mean you would have to uninstall and download it again. But another thing is, when you open it, go to Tools, Options, and then click on Speed, and in the first box, you see a pull-down menu. Click on the menu, and search for your speed of internet, whether you have dial-up, cable/DSL... I find that even if someone has dial-up, they get a lot faster loading with Cable/DSL. Also when searching, if you are searching for a song, use the "Audio" search engine and you will get faster results. And try to be as aprox. as you can, so you have a better chance of finding what you are looking for.
