MudvayneRocker Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Yeah i have read posts of ppl saying things about how their pc is only downloading at like 500kb/s and similar stuff to that. Now i know i cannot be the only person on this site using dial-up, but something else has to be severely wrong. How can someone possibly download with that kinda speed while my brand new, windows xp, pentium 4 processor computer only gets 3kb/s.....yes just 3. It takes forever to download things, for the 06 mod i am going to use flashget in order to pause it and finish it later, but still. this aint right, is there something i need to do, buy, or download to increase my downloading speed. I CANT TAKE 3 KB/S DOWNLOADS ANYMORE!!!!!!! thanx for reading this, please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway389 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 It's dialup. 3kb/s to about 5kb/s is all you can hope for. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spifftone Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm still trying to get the latest Big Shmooz updates, the large ones, and I can handle the speed being slow, etc., but I've been cut-off twice when it's at 200MB completed. Argh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhath Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 yea, im using wireless, so thats how im up that high... although if im lucky and the server isnt busy, ive maxed out on here before at a consistent 900-1000 a time or two... but thats at like 4 in the morning sometimes lol... theres nothin you can do really with dialup... it says 56k, but its really about 28k to start with, and then your d/l spd will never be greater than 10, so 3-5 is about right with dialup, especially here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MudvayneRocker Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 haha wow, i asked my parents and they said we aint switchin to faster internet cause its twice as expensive. so i decided to show them that it wasn't, it looks like we are getting AT&T internet that downloads 3-6 mbps. even if it usually only gets 3, thats like 1,000 times faster than i currently get. and its only 2$ more expensive a month as our dial-up. so yeah, looks like i finally am gonna be able to get good internet pretty soon!

JoeyMcM93 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Good for you. My parents caved after I begged for three years. Now, I'm up to about 1200 KB/S. Once you use broadband you'll never go back, you can't live without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Amen to that. I jumped straight from 28.8 to 100mbps earthlink. I've never felt so shocked, awed and amazed. Dialup is not usable in todays world, but sadly, this site has been working like it is me using dialup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebh0113 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hey MudvayneRocker, I feel your pain man. Lately the fastest I've been connecting at is 19.2 kb/s. I can't get broadband where I live b/c I'm out in the sticks in NC, but will be in Greenville in 2 weeks. I also love your sig man. Norwood is a great player, I saw him play for 2 seasons in college.
