bandwidth problem (personal)

[XIR.<=Domino=>]

hi everyone!

i have a little problem that someone here might
know the answer to.....

its to do with my bandwidth.... i have an 8meg
connection to the internet....

my isp says i am not limited in anyway....
and int he past i have had very fast downloads speeds
reaching 950kps

but recently i noticed that my top download speed is now 450k max
does anyone know anything in windows xp pro that could be
limiting my download speed.....

its not my firewall and i have no external programs loaded
that would do this.....

any help would be apriciated...

hi Dave ...I am not sure about it but maybe you have to change the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Size -->

..or you have to switch off your the QoS Packet Queuing -->

....only two possibilities

hehe arni nah ...

that isnt the problem...

its something wrong with windows its self... a setting somewhere....

i seem to remember a setting somewhere... that asked me
do i want to limit my bandwidth usage... but for the life of me
i cant remember what it was..... :/

im sure a format will fix it, if it doesnt imma be straight onto my isp...

asking wtf... and doing a mental dave on them....... hehe
