Internet Download Speed Slow Only On A Certain Computer

Hi,

This is my first post/thread on TH :) 

Anyways, I Just recently bought a laptop for HS, about half a month old. Everything Ran fine :) , Until My computer decided to not work anymore.

I did a system restore from a repair disk and fixed, the only catch, norton reinstalled. I had uninstalled norton and when I did a system restore, the program probably sent it's server a "scam" alert as the program didn't respond after, So I had to uninstall it manually, removing the files and all the registry entres.

Now, week later, I notice that my computer is downloading EPICALLY slow. My speed is 11mbs, on my alternate computer, it will download a 11 mb file in less then a second, but on the laptop, 25 minutes? No way is that possible.



I did some registry scans, with wisecare 365, fixed the registry and download time has come down to 13 seconds, which is still crazy long -__-

any tips hints guys? thanks I really appreciate it :) .

I believe thats all You need to know, thanks again ;)  :) 

Well really old machines might not be able to write 11mb to the disk in a second, but since you're saying that your laptop is half a month old, I really don't know what the problem is. It could dpend on the server you are downloading from; perhaps a certain port isn't open on your laptop. Change your firewall or router settings on that machine and see if that helps.

Yeah, it looks like OP is confusing MBytes with Mbits.
11MB file in one second - that's about 100Mbit/s, so if that's true maybe your wireless device just can't handle such a bandwidth?

Hmm, well My desktop, 2 years old downloads in 1-2 seconds, usually less.

I just did a whole registry cleanup, and the time has dropped considerably, to 4-5 seconds.

Still Kind Of slow, I guess this was a registry related problem.

Oh and I use a wireless N router, 300 mbit max and using the laptop wirelessly
