windy1 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 I was trying not to do that. but if she needs help... he can do it. I knew someone would say that!
_jr_ Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Who better than someone who's crazy about you, right?
Elvish Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks again, everyone. Cosmo, I found a really handy download on that snapfiles website - it's called TuneUp Utilities 2004. It's shareware, but there's a free trial period. It's found and deleted a bunch of crap that was left over from before I reinstalled my operating system. Seems like it's speeded things up quite a bit. Carole - I'll keep you website in mind. I was ready to throw my hands up and get professional help before I found this program. Thanks again! ::
_jr_ Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 Elvy, my dear, we've known for quite a time now that you need professional help.
Elvish Posted January 10, 2005 Author Report Posted January 10, 2005 Left myself wide open for that one, didn't I? ::
_jr_ Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 You know, hon, I really, really, reeeaallyy tried to let it go.
RonJonSurfer Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 One more simple thing that can't hurt anything. Go to Tools, then internet options, click "delete cookies" then "delete files" then "clear history". It has worked for me in the past.
cosmosis Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 So my question is: How fast is your internet connection according to your ISP, and how fast are your downloads now?
Elvish Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Posted January 11, 2005 Ugh - it's slowed back down again. I'm running slower than dial up at this point. The cnet.com website shows it at 20.4 kbps and it should be at least 384. ::
cosmosis Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 So I assume your internet connection is advertised as 384 kbps? Which is kilobits. Browsers show the download speed as kilobytes. 1 kB = 8 kb, so 384/8=48kB. So your downloads from web-sites should go @ about 48k. Unless I assumed wrong Anyways I found this great tweak at some other site. Of course, you need Firefox. Pages load instantly, plus FF is the best browser out there. Here it is: "Hey all, want your FireFox browser to be exceptionally fast.....follow these simple steps LOAD PAGES AT THE SPEED OF SOUND (DSL / BROADBAND + FIREFOX BROWSER) You will have to switch from Internet Explorer, to FIREFOX (CLICK HERE). Trust us, if you have DSL, or Broadband, this is the most amazing tweak you can find. Your browser will load the site so much faster, that you will never use Internet Explorer again! - Download and install Firefox (click here). You can import all your bookmarks, and passwords easily, with a simple wizard. - Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. - Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. - Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT, you've never seen a browser load this fast. Works exceptionally well on torrentbytes as the site runs quite slow at times" Of course that would mean that a single user would cause the load of 30 users on a server, so too many ppl doing this would probably crash the server. Anywhoo, you can find Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.org/

Addictedtoclassic Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 I had nothing but troubles for the first 5 hours of the day. I would periodically try to get in, but got nothing.
edna Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Well, I´m sorry for you, but at least I´m not alone!!! Carl posted in the Songfacts Thread that we might be having some problems during a couple of weeks... OK, let´s hope time runs!
Addictedtoclassic Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 It did snow a little yesterday edna (or Helena?). But you need to really crank up the dancing tunes and just explode that snow onto Minnesota. My state is very pathetic in the winter without any snow.
edna Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 I´ll put a incense stick, maybe it makes the sun shine... Anybody has any problems today to post on last page of any thread? I do. I guess I´ll go back home, it´s no fun... !"·$%&|@#¢??server...
