[macvoiceover] Re: Slow downloads with my Mac

This is ot but a thing or two you might try:
1) turn off ipv6 on your mac in network, in advanced, in tcpip.
2) turn off stealth mode. while this shouldn't affect your downloads and is turned off by default I think, it might help. 

Also, plumb google for "slow mac downloads".

Hi everyone,
I am finding that I am getting very slow download speeds with my Mac. I had a D-link D-540 wireless router that was over 5 years old, so I thought that perhaps this was the problem. I bought a new D-link wireless router, a W-2310, but the problem continues. I had the folks from my cable service provider come down and check things out, and the speed is fine up to the point of the cable modem. The fellow couldn't troubleshoot the wireless connection as he said as far as their service went, things were fine. I used to get download speeds of anywhere between 500 - 700 kbps, but now I'm only getting speeds of 85 kbps. Is there some setting on my Mac that may be causing this slow download speed? I can't imagine that it's my router as the speed is similar with two separate routers. 

Thanks for any ideas,

Russell
