Andy, Sounds like your Wireless here. Go to Network Connections in Control Panel. Hit apps key on Wireless network. Cursor to and select Status. Read the screen with jaws/window eyes mouse cursor. What speed is the signal at?----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi all -I'm just downloading RealPlayer10 on to my laptop using my wireless network, as it's required for the BBC I player. Although I have ADSL broadband, it isonly downloading at 6.5 kb per sec. Obviously, this is ridiculously slow, and is taking a 12mb file probably over an hour to download.Anybody know why this is so slow? It's the first download I've made for thelaptop on the network, so wondering if it is a settings issue, but can't think what! Is wireless usually slower than wired when downloading? - Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 2949 (20080315) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
