I have DSL internet and everything is usually pretty fast, but when I open up a window in myspace not only do other windows slow down but myspace is ridiculously SLOW!  Any tips, know why?

Because, more then 2.8 milion people are signing on every minute. So, yeah it's going to be slow at times.

No.  You're at the mercy of the bandwidths that are being used at the time.   Sometimes there is more traffic which will make it slower and other times you are using it at a time when not that many people are on so it will be faster.\n\nHope that helps.

well, maybe there is something wrong with your computer. cuz when i go to myspace.com from mine it doesn't do that to me but hmm.. thats odd though.

I have a couple of suggestions.  First, I'd install a local FTP server to make sure that the problem really is in the code and not in the speed of your network.  I've included a link to one server below, but you can find others using your favorite search engine.\n\n500MB seems like a very small amount of data.  Are you sure you want to use multi-threading?  Could you start multiple copies of your program?  If you decide to go with threading, I'd upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 if you don't have it already - I included a link to the free version below.\n\nIn VB2005, there's a new component for threading called BackgroundWorker.  I've linked to one example of it's use below -- but MSDN has a lot of material on it, including examples.

Have you tried changing the batteries in your hearing aid? You know it might be all of the illegal surfing from school computers you do too, you know they say that will make you go blind... maybe deaf too.....\n\nThis is my new standard format response for myspace users. First, if you had spent more time studying while you were in school, you wouldn’t have to ask questions about myspace. If you spent more time on your homework and less worrying about why so-and-so has more “internet friends” you might be less concerned with the proxy server bypass that will let you use your schools computer for non-school related activities. When you graduate and get a job so you can afford to buy a computer and pay for internet access I guarantee you myspace will be the least of your concerns. Until said time (if you graduate) quit wasting my tax money by studying myspace more than you study your grammar. Yes, it is my tax money that pays for your education. Chances of you being a prep-school/private school kid and not having one-on-one supervision while you update your myspace is about 4 million to 1. If it really is that important that you have to access it during school hours, why even go to school? Ask mommy and daddy if you can stay home tomorrow and flirt with child predators online. I am sure they won’t mind. Lastly, if this standard format response does not apply to your particular myspace question, oh well, I guess I won’t have you on my top five list, huh?

Complain to Tom.  They need more and faster servers.  Right now, MySpace suffers from way overuse and being way underpowered.  I've had this same problem with the songs I've uploaded.  While I do host some stuff there, it's really not a site I would use as my primary music site.\n\nJust too many problems, bugs, slowness and non-specific problems (like that song stopping and starting thing).\n\nThe MySpace site desperately needs more servers.\n\nIf you're looking for a better place to host music, try the following sites:

Several factors can play into your experience of surfing...  First off is that Cable Internet is a shared bandwidth meaning that you and like 50 of your neighbors all share the line and bandwidth.  If someone sucks it all up then there is very little for you.\n\nAnother one is the site itself.  It may be bogged down or be on a slow connection.  The server could be having issues that slow its response and such.\n\nYet another factor that would explain why you go fast and then slow and such is do you have a wireless router?  Is it secure?  Check that and see if you are wide open and then lock it down if it is.  If you are wide open than anybody can be using your signal for free and nothing you can do about it but lock them out.

Intriguing indeed. I know what you mean about speed--I have dial-up (my only option due to location) and after I used Firefox, IE suddenly seemed prohibitively slow. It seems that I have become a kind of walking advertisement for Firefox. I've been using FF for a year or two now and I love it more every day.  In that time I have picked up a few extensions and tricks that make my browsing experience much faster and easier.\n\nMy favorite extension is definitely Tab Mix Plus. This extension has an almost overwhelming number of settings and features, so I’ll list a few of my favorites. Tab Mix Plus let’s you merge windows, duplicate tabs (very useful), highlight tabs you haven’t seen yet (great for keeping track of a large number of tabs--I have it highlight the text blue), highlight the currently selected tab (which can make it easier to see which one you’re looking at--I have it bold the text),  and display a progress bar on each tab (since I have dial-up, this is a great feature to let me know how far a tab has left to load without having to leave the tab I’m on--I have it use a progress bar with a white background so I can still read the text). Tab Mix Plus also has an undo close tab feature and a session restore feature; both of which are newly included in FF 2, but I still prefer to use Tab Mix Plus for these (the session restore gives you the option to restore the previous to last session in addition to the last). Any or all of these features can be used, and I am excluding quite a few of them.\n\nI also use and recommend the following extensions:\n\nAdblock Plus; which--when you sign up to a filter subscription (which is absolutely free and doesn’t require giving any information about yourself [in case you’re wondering])--stops most ads on the internet from loading (this is especially important to me since ads take up so much precious bandwidth).\n\nGoogle Notebook; a tool from Google that makes it easier to add notes to your Google Notebook account (which you can get for free and access from any computer with an internet connection).\n\nIE Tab; which--since not every webpage supports FF--can embed IE in a tab in FF. The pages load just as slowly and you are just as insecure as if you were using IE in its own window--but it can make things easier when you’re forced to use IE. IE Tab also lets you easily open the page you are currently viewing in FF in a real IE window\n\nCustomizeGoogle; which can change the way different Google sites are displayed. I use it mostly to remove the ads from Gmail, but it can do a lot more.\n\nDownload Statusbar; which puts a list of your current downloads on a bar at the bottom of the screen.\n\nAnd finally Image Zoom; with which you can easily zoom pictures on websites in and out by holding down the right mouse button and scrolling up and down (most pictures become too pixilated for this to be of too much use, but I still like it).\n\nDon’t forget the search bar! I use it much more often that I thought I would at first. My most often used search engines are: Google (which is included), Wikipedia, FILExt (which tells you what the file extension [such as .exe or .txt] you searched for is used for), and, of course, Yahoo! Answers. \n\nI use the find bar (shortcut: Ctrl + F) all the time; it lets you find a string of text in the page you are viewing very easily. This is especially great when you come across one of those webpages that seem to have no end or means of organization--but really, I tend to use it everywhere.\n\nI love the page source viewer (shortcut: Ctrl + U)--which also has the find bar. If you know HTML you’ll probably agree that it is much better that IE’s page source viewing system (open in notepad). \n\nThe new spell-check-as-you-type feature is nice. If you want FF to spell check a field that it isn’t checking, right-click the text field and select ‘Spell check this field’.\n\nYou can also drag and drop the tabs to reposition them (if find this

Actually, In my opinion, every single stupid myspace page has been customized with stuff that it is eating your throughput when you play. Its irregardless if you yourself are hosting videos or mp3s, or a web host is. If the myspace page has music and videos embedded into their site, the second you are turned into that site, it is going to eat your throughput up because of the high consumption of the bandwith used in streaming all that multimedia crud from there, especially the stupid background music every idiot page has.\n\nWoW on the other hand, does not use that much packets to send and receive data onto WoW servers, (more optimized for gaming) so its no surprise it would not affect your bf2 as much. The main thing is that BF2 wants packets and wants packets now, and second people start torrenting or looking at image/video/audio embed-intensive site, like Myspace, and you will not bet sending and receiving enough packets like you would, which leads to high ping, which leads to kicking.

You have to open a port on your Firewall or Router, so that other clients can contact you (to be connecteable).\n\nThis is the most common reason for low speed (also on other P2P Platforms like eDonkey)

shock horror, there are more myspace people on myspace.com and more myspace information on myspace.com!\n\nwhy you all come here to ask myspace questions confuses me especially since they have their own forum dedicated to profile stuff:\nhttp://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewCategory&CategoryID=68

When I first got my DSL turned on, I was having problems with speed. I knew my system was capable of running it and all the lights were on on my modem. I called my ISP's tech support and they told me it was because I was using a cordless phone. I had never heard of this causing a problem before, but when I plugged in a different phone it worked a lot better. Also it could be an issue with your pc such as RAM and processor speed. No matter how fast your internet is, it can only go as fast as your pc is capable of. One more thing to try is running a anti spyware program, disk cleanup, disk defrag, registry cleaner, that sort of thing. It's unbelievable how much difference it makes just clearing out the clutter on your computer. Hope this helps.

Yeah, that happens to me alot with Myspace too. You can try searching for myspace.com on a search engine, like Yahoo or something, and then try clicking a link to it. That works for me sometimes, but I have no idea why it happens. You could also just try typing in your URL to get to your profile page, and then if you get that far, then just click sign in, and you might be able to get to your home page from there.

To me, Mozilla Fire Fox is way better than Internet Explorer!  Internet Explorer freezes a lot, and takes long to load.  Plus you get pop-ups.  With fire fox, the pages load WAY FASTER! And you don't get any popups :).  And I love how it has the option of tabs [when you have two different sites in one window and you can switch back and forth].  Download Fire Fox. I'm serious, It's way better.
