My computer is slow to copy a downloaded file to the hard drive, although the download speed is great. Why?

Question

When downloading two 50 mb files, each will download in about 90 seconds but will take 4 minutes to 'copy to file'. They are at 99% for three times as long as it took to download, which I've never seen before. Any ideas on how to figure out the cause of this?

Answer 1

not sure without more info,but i'd do a thorough check for spyware etc first.then disk defrag and other general maintenance then have a look at it again.

Answer 2

Maybe you should clear your Cache.
