Downloading problem with laptop

Well after numerous days of trying to fix my problem I give up. My isp is videotron which is high speed cable. I have a desktop which is connected to router (wrt160n linksys)and also a laptop. Desktop is working excellent and so was the laptop until a few days ago. speedtests have been made on bothe computers and they are where they should be.
My problem is when I visit a site (laptop) like download.cnet and run a download from there my transfer rate is 850 kb/sec which is pretty good. When I try to down load a pic(1.7mb) from my inbox I get a trasnfer rate not more than 200kb/sec. I have visited some other sites before this problem occured and my transfer rate was no less than 600kb/- 735kb/sec now my transfer rate at the same sites is not more than 160-190 kb/sec.I have ran anti virus programs and everything seems to be clear. I believe that my problem is comming directly from my laptop and not from the router or my connection to my isp. I hardwired the laptop to my router(modem connected to router) and this issue does not come up it dowloads as it should. .
any help would greatly be appreciated
Thanks

vgn-txn19p.. My isp is videotron high speed cable..
I have connected the laptop directly to the router and the download speed is great, when not connected to the router (wireless) I get 2 diffrerent download transfer rates, from download.cnet I get 750 - 870 kb/sec and from the Sony site when I download get 140 - 190 kb/sec.
The interesting thing is from download.cnet is I get the message from IE information bar "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. Click here for options"  Whereas from the Sony site I don't get the information bar I just get if  I wan't to run or save the download.
I have tried reducing the MTU to 1300 but no go still the same.

  • Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

    Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

    iDevices can only be synched with one library.  However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file).  The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other.  When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine.  Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
    If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
    If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
    Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
    Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes.  When you see this prompt:
    select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
    For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

  • Problems with laptop when charging!

    Hello,
    I noticed that this might be a common problem with HP model. I have been trying to make my laptop (Pavilion dv7, bought less then a year ago) to work as it used before for a week now and still can't manage.
    It seems that the Laptop is not charged, if switched on, and battery is empty (less or equal to 9% of charge). However when I turn it off, after some time (IMPORTANT: not immediately after), it starts charging.
    However I noticed that Battery does get charged when it is still 75% charged. This happens even when doing heavy duty work (Power Plan set to High Performance, 1 Virtual Machine running, 20 YouTube videos, and Playing DVD).
    I tired all tricks in the book (un-install battery driver and re-install it [done automatically from Windows7], Remove battery when switched off, turn it on with only adapter, switch it off again, attach battery and plug in adapter, etc). However although these seem to work once ot twice, the problem always re-appears!
    Personally I still can't figure if this is a software or hardware problem! I do not thing the battery has any problems since after it is charged, without any the adapter it gives me full 2 hours of heavy duty work (Virtual Machines, Streaming Videos, etc). Also the battery check tells me that the battery health is “Good”, which means it should be charging correctly.
    Does anyone know what the problem might be?
    Regards,
    Simon J.

    Hi,
    I did as you suggested. I allowed the battery to drain (10% charged) and connected the adapter. As usual it did not want to charge. At this stage (that is what adapter connector but battery not charging) I did a battery health test using HP Support Assistance installed on Windows7 by default. This told me that battery should be replaced and gave me a warranty id.
    After this I downloaded the system BIOS by downloading it from the HP Support & Drivers site (http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html). After this (with the adapter connected) I installed the new BIOS driver. This when ready restarted the computer. I turned the computer on again to confirm that the correct version of the BIOS was installed. Note that at this stage the battery still did not start to charge and therefore I turned the computer off and followed the steps given above to hard reset the battery. When I inserted the battery and connected the adapter the battery started to charge immediately. After turning on the computer I did a battery health test and this time the test said that battery health was good.
    I then waited until battery was fully charged and allowed it to drain up to 10%. Again when I connected the adapter the battery did not charge and in Windows 7 it tells me “plugged in, not charging”. If I do a battery test at this point (adapter connector but battery not charging) I get the message that battery has to be replaced and I am given the warranty id.
    Is there anything else I can try!?

  • Numerous Problems with Laptop T530i

    I am having lots of problems with my two month old laptop T530i thinkpad . First of all the download for any thing is very slow. I did a speed test  and my download only runs  .24 to .35 and up load is around .96-.98. For example i tried to download a background for a destop from microsoft site. It is only suppose to take a few seconds to download.However, it took 27 minutes. This should not be.    NOw a friend brought his 6 year old or more Lenovo over  T60  pro cessor 1.8  1g of ram
     The speed test on his laptop was from 10.5 to 15.  Only took a few seconds to download desktop background.  He connected his through my router.  WHY IS THIS? 
    My nephew who is a tech at an insurance company upgraded the wifi card. drivers.  Still  no download speed
    Video playing music  from you tube stops and starts 
    sometimes internet explorer connection webpage can't be displayed  have to hit refresh
    takes awhile to load up pictures to show up on facebook etc
    also images are blurry at beginning on ancestry.com site and familysearch.org.  then clear up  seems to take longer than my 8 year old tower pc.
    HELP!  Any suggestions.  Who do I contact about  this problem?  Not a happy camper

    Has it always been like this since you got it?  What antivirus are you running (shouldn't mess with it but you never know)  Do you have any backround programs running that could be slowing down your bandwith (like bit torrent or other file sharing programs)
    It's possible you have a virus or spyware threat - I would download malwarebytes from malwarebytes.org and run a full scan and see if it finds anything.
    Double check the WIFI / LAN drivers (depending on the connection you are using) and make sure you download the most recent version (From the lenovo.com website)
    After the virus scan and double checking the drivers, I would reboot in safe mode with networking and re run the test or try to download the same file again, It is works in safe mode fine then you have a program or service running upon startup that is dragging you down.  You can download ccleaner from ccleaner.com and once installed launch the program and goto tools, startup - it will show you everything that is loading on startup and will give you the option to disable everything loading, it's trial and error but may get you on your way to figuring out what may be causing it.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi,
    i'm new to archlinux and am currently installing arch, unfortunately pacman waits for about 15-20 seconds after each package before he gets the next one so that installing packages is realy time consuming (downloadspeed of the packages is normal around 600kb/s). i do not have any similiar problems with other distributins or downloads and couldn't find anything like this in the wiki,forum or with a searchengine. i realy don't know what could cause this problem and would appreciate any help.

  • Download Problem with iPhoto 6.0.4.

    New Mac user here. I have a clean install of OS X, uodated to to 10.4.8. I bought a copy of iLife 06 from Amazon.com and installed it and successfully updated the various programs....except for iPhoto.
    The version installed is 6.0.1. When I look for updates I get the message that 6.0.4 is available and I download it (i've done this 3 or 4 times) and each time it shows a successful download and then I get an error message:
    "The update "iPhoto Update" can't be installed.
    The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple"."
    This is odd. After I installed iLife from the disk I bought (in a sealed box) from Amazon I have successfully downloaded and installed updates to the other component programs; it is just iPhoto that is giving the problem.
    Which figures because that is the one program in the suite I want to use.
    I would appreciate any help or direction in solving this problem.
    (btw: I noticed some comments on this forum about problems with v 6.0.5. I have only been 'offered' a download of 6.0.4. Has 6.0.5 been withdrawn?)
    Thanks,

    Try downloading the standalone updater for iPhoto 6.04. iPhoto 6.05 has not been pulled, but you cannot install it until you've successfully installed the iPhoto 6.04 updater, and Software Update isn't supposed to show you any updates which can't be installed on your configuration.

  • Download Problems with iTunes Match

    I'm having problems with iTunes Match, upload the songs are done and had great difficulty with the freezing of steps.
    I'm not able to make the songs appear in iTunes: http://pqp.me/7qr
    and when I get the songs come I can not download:http://pqp.me/7qq
    Can you help me?

    I don't know what you mean by this. Do you mean you can't figure out how to get off that screen? Click the "done" button.
    This is just to say that I managed to sync with iTunes Match, in my other notebook I can not do the songs appear.
    Vinny Bastos wrote:

    You're connection the iTunes Match servers is offline. That's why the songs are greyed out and the cloud icon has the horozontal lines in it. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, re-launch the application and wait until the tracks are no longer greyed out and you will be able to download them.
    That part you answered, thanks.
    How often iTunes Match is off? Sometimes?

  • TV Show download problem with library on a network share

    My local drive has 100GB disk space available. I have my iTunes library configured to be on a network share which happens to be on a NAS (network attached storage) drive. My NAS drive has over 600GB disk space available. When I try to download a TV Show (Battlestar Galactica) I get an error which says that:
    "The disk you are attempting to use is full"
    This is nowhere near true. I tried several times, then switched my iTunes library to point to my local drive, and the download worked. Does iTunes have a problem with a library on a network share?
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Not easy because in order to open just one library file you would have to be running the same version of iTunes on all computers which would be limited to the lowest version supported by your computers (the G3).  Try to open a iTunes 10 library with 9.2.1 and it will refuse. This in turn might not support your equipment.  Even if you can do this you would have to make sure only one copy of iTunes was running because the library file cannot be opened by multiple copies of iTunes at the same time.

    Open up the nvidia firewall.
    Click on 'Active Armour'
    Click on 'Application'
    change the setting from 'offloadable' to 'notoffloadable'
    This solves the download problem.
    Indigian,  you are The Man!!!!!
    That solved it !!! Thank you very much!

  • Download problems with 10.1.3 JDeveloper

    Has anyone else had problems with downloading the new version of JDeveloper? The link appears to be going nowhere.

    we heard that people sometime are having problems that are usually solved by trying again a little later.
    Another option that might work is to add -west to the server name so it will become download-west.oracle.com

  • PROBLEM WITH Laptop Dropping CONNECTION to my Airport Extreme

    PROBLEM WITH KEEPING CONNECTION To WiFi NETWORK   I have a  MacBook Pro, MacBookPro4,1, Processor Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.6 GHz  I loose connection with my Airport extreme it will just drop the connection. Up in the menu bar where it show thesignal strength... when it drops the connection  it shows  "NO NETWORK SELECTED". The only way for me to reconnect thru wifi is to SHUT DOWN my Laptop and start it back up.  Then it will hold for just a little longer and drop it again.   Very AGGRIVATING.  Is there a possibility that my Airport Card in my Laptop is going bad or what?  Gerrrrrrrrrrr     Seems to do it more when I am on Facebook but that just may be because Im on FB a lot.. LOL   And I already did the proceedure with going into the Utilities and accessing the Keychain and setting up Network again but it does not correct the problem.  HELP!!

    You appear to have a solid radio connection to the Base Station.
    1) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
    System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
    2) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
    ... check [√] Ask to join new networks

    Even it is invalid I tried to install. Installation starts ok, but it breaks after few moments.
    Regards

    Here is cksum from file that I downloaded 3966614633 and on download page is 535544209.
    It's obvious that something is wrong!
    Oracle personal should fix this issue.

  • Calendar syncing problems with laptop and iphone

    Calendar entries on my iphone don't find their way to my ical on my laptop. When i connect and sync all ical entries are double entered on my phone. Please can anyone help.
    Driving me mad as i just can't rely on it!

    I think this might be the same problem I'm having, except that I'm having the same problem with both the calendar and the address book. I know things are syncing correctly between my work laptop, my home laptop, my home desktop, and MobileMe. My problem is with my phone. Everything synced fine until I upgraded to version 3. Then the phone would not update at all. I've tried to turn on the Contacts and Calendars in the Settings, but the "switches" won't stay ON. The Mail switch stays on with no problem. I finally forced the phone to sync through iTunes, but then I had double entries in the calendar and double contacts (on the phone only). So .. how to I get it to sync automatically, and how do I get rid of the double entries and contacts? Should I completely delete my account on my phone, and start over? I don't want to mess something up.

  • Folio download problem with Android app

    I still have a problem with the app. It's ok with the certificate now and ok on google play store.
    The app was updated on two android tablets and when I try to download an issue which was uploaded a few months ago with v30 DPS tools, the app can't download it because I need to upgrade the app.
    The first one was build with v25 tools, is this something with the certificate.

    What version number shows in the about dialog of your application? You can get to the about dialog from the "..." or hardware menu button on your device while in the library view. Select "About".
    Also, can you send me a private message with the adobe ID that you're using to publish your folios?
