 Problem with the network, or problem with your sys?
I'm running a HP Pavilion 8535, 810, 400 MHZ P2 W/ 256 MB RAM. I just recently reinstalled Windows 98SE after upgrading from the 6 GB HD that was in it originally to a 80 GB HD.
Yes I know..Sounds like a pretty pathetic machine, but I'm able to usually attain download speeds in excess of 30k/s and have downloaded over 10GB of Progs Mp3's and other junk in just three days.
You might want to try editing your registry to increase your performance. The following link from regedit dot com will allow you to boost the speed of your broadband Internet connection when using a Cable Modem or DSL Router with Windows 95, 98 and Millennium Edition. Click Here
Ive found the fastest way to get files is to try a bunch of the same file at once, let them start downloading, choose the faster ones, and kill the slow downloads.
I've had faster downloads from dial up or cable than from T3's more than likely because everyone is trying to download from the faster connection sources.
If you are already using this method of downloading I described and having these problems then I would guess you are either on a really bad connection, or in dire need of an OS reinstall.
Hope that was helpful
