Fixing download speed

[shadowstriker86]

Ok this has been bugging me for a while. when i surf or play games like dota or watch youtube, my internet is fast as hell. however when i go to newgrounds and try to view a movie or try to download a file from a site, it's slower than hell, how do i fix this?

Your internet hates you. My internet loves me.


Kidding, of course - my internet hates me as well. Your speeds could be slower on some sites for any number of reasons. Like the site just is slower. You could try is disabling any protection (only if you really, really trust the site) and check to see if that speeds things up. Firewalls, pop up blockers, etc.

I mean after that you can try a few other things, but call your ISP and have them walk you through them, they get paid to do that.

Sometimes it just depends on how the site is managed, how many people are accessing it at any given time, and how good your connection is. Oh, also, it has to do with how much your connection likes you. If it doesn't--good luck! If it does--Good Luck!

Wow, I have the exact opposite problem. Newgrounds and downloads are fast as can be for me but YouTube and games make me have to start them up and leave to make a sandwich while they finish loading, and I'm running out of bread.

Same here, but my youtube HD is slowing down lately, which pisses me off.

I desperately need a new computer.
