This is odd.

I'm running my Duron 850 at 133fsb, so I had it at 933 for a while, and even at 866 I'm having problems..

I can get online, check email, browse sites, post on boards, etc.. However, for some strange reason if I go to any site and try to download a file, be it zip, exe, mpg, mp3, etc.. I can't get more than a few K into it and it won't go any further. Even with getright it seems I'm transferring in the bytes range, if at all.

Audiogalaxy? Nothing. Morpheus? Nothing.. maybe really slow, but a couple days for a few meg file isn't my idea of fun.

Any ideas? Dropping back down to 100fsb makes it work fine, but I find it really odd that the only problem I have is downloading files. The PCI bus is running at the same speed as it is for 100mhz, so I don't see what the big deal is. Anyone have this problem before?

And just one more bit, it doesn't matter which OS I use.. Linux and Windows XP have the same problem.

Thanks

Perhaps something is preventing the right PCI dividers from kicking in?

Try playing with PCI Latency. If it's at 32 right now, try 64 or 128 or 96.
