M477H3W Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Since the move of the servers, I have been getting really slow downloads. I live far away to begin with(Eastern Canada), but I used to get 140-160KB/sec , now i get 15-40KB/sec. This sucks. Is there anyway to fix this, because it's not my connection. I have the same connection as I was getting with the 140KB/sec. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your actual connection speed? I ask as that is what I do in real life. Just check your modem and tell me what speeds you are actually connected at, you will need the ip address of the modem though, to get that, click on start, run/type in cmd then when the dos window opens type in ipconfig and hit enter.

M477H3W Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I know that I'm connected at 100 Mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 That is the speed of your lan connection to your modem. Has no basis in reality to your actual connection speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 There are 3 file servers (4 if you are a premium member), if one file server is slow, try another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M477H3W Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 wow. Sorry, I am an idiot. I know a lot about building PCs and how they work, but not a lot about networking. (as you can tell). So how can I find what speed I connecting at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M477H3W Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I've tried all three of the regular servers, all of them give me 15-40KB/sec, while i can still get the 160 KB/sec on other sties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The most common ip address of a modem is 192.168.0.1, type that in the address bar at the top and hit enter, if that is what yours is it will bring up a modem summary page. If not whey you type in if comfig you will get something that looks like this: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]© Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\Michael Lundell>ipconfig Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : gateway.2wire.net IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.64 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 (this one) C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxxxxxx> You are going to type in the default gateway address, it will pull up the modem summary page which normally has your connection speed listed. EDIT: I just read your post, if that is the case it is server saturation which is a common complaint, or it is congestion on the internet itself.....I am not able to get into the systems that I normally access but that is the usual causes.

Dark0ne Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The servers are located in 3 different data centres in 3 different geographic locations. If you're having speed issues inspite of this there's very little I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
