Hello to all. I'm a relative noob when it comes to pc's and I am pulling my hair out. I'm hoping someone can help me.
I am a rapidshare premium account holder and up until last thursday I was experiencing download speeds of upto 800kbps. Since then the speed has dropped to, wait for it, 1kbps. If i'm lucky this might jump to 20kbps.
I contacted rapidshare and they assured me there was no problems their end. I logged on to rapidshare while at work and, yes, experienced full download speeds. I went back to my home pc, logged onto rapidshare there and again got 1kbps download speed. I then ran a speed test which came out at 6mb. Downloaded some files from various sites and got high download speeds. I tried rapidshare again and got 1kbps. My isp insist it could be my distance from the exchange, line quality, modem drivers but I feel these are not causing the problem.
Has anybody got any ideas what could be causing the slowdown to that one particular site.
Many, many thanks in advance
Darren
