I've just recently formatted my computer less then a day ago and why am I have problems downloading.....?

Question

.....on the internet? I don't have problems surfing the internet but everytime I try to download something it always stays at 1% download rate.

Here's is some info about my computer and maybe that could be it or maybe not.

CPU MGz: 1300
1.RAM: 512
2. HARD DRIVE FREE SPACE: 15.8
3. HARD DRIVE USED SPACE: 3.8
4. I HAVE TIME WARNER DSL CONNECTION
5. My connection speed is at 100.00 Mpbs

Could it be my video card or what else could it be and once again I recently fomatted my computer so I'm not sure if it could be a virus problem or something because I haven't downloaded anything on the net or visited any unsecure website.

Answer 1

Do you have a (windows) firewall or virus checker, turn those off and try it, besure to turn them back on, i dont think it's hardware related

Answer 2

Check your firewall to make sure it is set to allow downloads. Also check to makesure you don't have TWO firewalls running. This is a big problem.

Also check your gateway to make sure things are setup correctly. Also, since many download sites use a Popup to denote download sizes, turn off your popup blocker (all of them) and see if this makes a difference.

Answer 3

this could be the problem with anti virus install on the computer is blocking the download, try resetting to default and download,
try changing firewall setting and download

Answer 4

Can be a firewall restriction. Or try it via download accelerator ( Flash Get, Dap)

Answer 5

replace your secure practices settings to default and additionally examine your cyber web connection homes to verify that not something you attempt to acquire is being blocked, now and lower back its basically a count of turning off your pop-up blocker.....oh and via how the relationship velocity that shows up in the relationship homes isn't your actually cyber web velocity, its the cost of the relationship out of your nic card to the modem.
