Slow??? not too bad for me... they have 11GHz running that site how could it possibly be slow??

Umm...last time I checked the processor speed has NOTHING to do with the transfer of packets over the internet. Of course, if they have a million users on at once then processor speed is going to count, but maybe their connection is bad, or maybe Pretender's is. Or maybe some central server in between the two is.

I don't think it's my connection, although the ping to their d/l server isn't TOO bad (90 ms). The www site is working fine for me, but their d/l server seems laggish to me.


Processor speed pays a very, very minor role in a server's ability to send/receive packets. Whether that site is run by a 300mhz or a 3ghz computer is nowhere near as important as it's connection.
