Hey guys,
This is the problem that I am having. My college network is ridiculously slow when surfing the net and trying to download stuff. However, when running something like scour or napster, I can reach download speeds of up to 2000k (kilobytes) sometimes, most of the time it sits somewhere around 250-300k. However, if I want to get a demo or something off the net, the transfer begins at around 30k and eventually winds down to around 5k, resembling modem speeds. I would understand if it was slow all around, but if I can reach good speeds on scour why can't I have decent downloads off the net? Is there any way to speed up my net access or am I stuck?
