Slow and episodic downloads, frequent timeouts

Here's my setup:
I have a 8Mb/s broadband service from TalkTalk (in the UK) which I access over wireless. Speedtest shows an upload speed of 4.8Mb/s. My Netgear modem reports that it is connected at 5.5Mb/s.
Leopard 10.5.4
iMac G5
Airport Extreme
Airport Express (as an extender)
Netgear DG814
I am running the latest firmware.
Here's my problem:
Downloads of files via Software Update or other sources are very slow and often fail. I rarely get more than 18Kbit/s reported during downloads. Looking at the monitor, downloads seem to be very episodic: there will be a second or so of download activity and then a pause before the next wave of download activity.
Is this episodic download pattern normal? Any advice on what I can do to improve my download speed is very welcome.

Looks like my problem was the DG814 Netgear router. I replaced it with a DG834 and my surfing experience has been transformed.

  • Updated my macbook pro mid 2009 to 10.9.4 and now it moves slow and rainbow wheels frequently

    I updated my macbook pro mid 2009 to 10.9.4 and now it moves slow and rainbow wheels frequently. Is there a quick and easy fix? I tried looking online but things seemed very confusing. Any help would be appreciated.

    I got a rainbow wheel when attempting to click on a pic in Iphoto. I can copy and paste the next time I have a problem but here is what I have so far.

  • My Macbook Pro Retina 2012 is running very slow and gives me frequent speed problems.

    So, I've noticed it happen gradually for about a year now. It started with just minor but not significant delays in opening up programs, but I didn't mind it because the computer was still fast compared to a PC, which is what I used to use before this Macbook. I got this macbook in 2012, and luckily I still have a warranty, but it'll close soon.
    Right now, some problems include:
    1)
    2) Shutting down and turning on the computer is slow (sorry no picture on this one). When I first bought this mac, and until about a year ago, whenever I turn it on/off it would do it instantly. But now, there is a bit of a delay when turning off. The screen seems to just freeze at a certain frame, stays that way for a few seconds (longer when turning it off right after playing a game or two-- don't worry they're compatible with Mac OS), and then shuts off. And when it's frozen at that frame time, you can still see the background materials because they're only faded away. You know what I'm talking about-- Macbook turns out when turning off and then shuts down. So, much of the screen is white, but you can still see the screen prior to the shut down faded.
    3) Internet is running extremely slow. When I check my speed at speedtest.net, I get around 47 mbps on bad days and 53-ish on good days (download speed)

    Resetting computer to factory conditions doesn't work, time-machine didn't work, and clearing more storage space didn't work either. I would like to get this problem fixed before my warranty runs out. Thanks for reading and any sort of help will be appreciated!

    Do you know of any specific tasks or situations that cause it to perform poorly? If so, make a note of those and demonstrate them for Apple. Do NOT, under any circumstances, restart the machine. You want it at its worst when you take it in. If you try to do any of those magic resets, it may just reset things just long enough for Apple to proclaim it healthy. If Apple does that anyway, then there are plenty of opportunities to try those things later after your warranty has expired.
    I wish I knew exactly when it does this, but it doesn't always happen. It sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't. I thought about this, too. But the problem is that it's really hard to catch a time or figure out what causes these symptoms to occur. I haven't taken it to Apple because I thought it'll just be a waste of time because they'll probably say that it's healthy so they don't have to put any money/effort to try and fix it...

  • Computer running slow, and problems downloading new software

    i have a powerbook g4 and it running slow at times. my dad bought a new one and gave me this one and my powerbook runs half of the speed of his. this is my 1st mac and i am trying to figure it out. my mac tends to freeze up sometimes when i am online. my cursor indicates that it is loading, but it takes a long time to load. most of the times i just force quit safari and try it again. also, when i try to install software off of the net, it ask me to pick a software to use to open it. i have tried almost every software on the computer and i have yet to run the installer. my email account is on hotmail, and my mac will not allow me to go straight to hotmail.com to retrieve emails. hotmail tells me that i have to download new software to be able to retrieve my mail, and that brings me to the above problem with downloading software. my mac runs on mac OS X version 10.3.9 if that is any help to you, thanks

    Welcome! You bring up a lot of issues but most suggest simply a need for some routine file maintenance. One of the best resources is here:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    There are a lot of articles; focus on those with titles about maintenance, tuning, and freeing space on the hard drive
    It would be helpful to know a little more about your PB, like the processor speed and the amount of RAM installed. Both are available by selecting "About the Mac..." from the blue Apple menu at the let end of the menubar.

  • My new IMAC suddenly slow and freezing requiring frequent restarting

    has anybody had this ? IMAC bought in Oct 2012, worked great for a while, now everything makes it freeze and require restart. Help ?

    Just to add...
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • Old MacBook Pro slow and hangs frequently, hard drive problems?

    Hi,
    I have an old Macbook Pro (one of the originals, from about 4 1/2 years ago). Recently I've been noticing that it runs really slow, especially when its been running for a while and there are multiple programs open. It will take a long time to switch between windows, opening a tab in Safari will usually cause a spinning beach ball for 10-15 seconds and Safari crashes frequently. Other programs have similar problems, but don't normally crash. It's running Snow Leopard and has 1GB of RAM. Obviously I expect it to be slower with lots of stuff open, but my usage patterns haven't changed and its performance certainly has. The harddrive always seems to be being accessed when I have these problems.
    The hard drive S.M.A.R.T. status is "verified," and I ran the Apple Hardware Test and it came out fine. But I'm still really worried that something could be going wrong, especially with the hard drive and since I am going away in a few weeks to work on a project and will be away from my backup drive I really want to make sure any problem is taken care of beforehand.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the the problem or about anything I should try?
    Much Thanks.

    With lots of concurrent processes and insufficient memory you will experience slow performance and beachballing. This is because the OS is forced to use the hard drive to replace the non-existent physical RAM. See the following:
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Also, a small hard drive with too little free space and a system lacking in any regular maintenance can also lead to slow performance. See the following:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    ynchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    This should give you a few things to start sorting things out and getting better performance from your computer within its limitations.
    If you have a Core Duo model then 2 GBs is the maximum RAM you can install. If you have a Core 2 Duo model then you can install up to 4 GBs but they system will only make use of 3 GBs. As for the hard drive it can be replaced. Notebook drives in the 250 to 500 GB - 7200 RPM range are relatively inexpensive. Visit OWC for pricing on drives and RAM. Visit Data Mem for pricing on RAM.

Someone told me its my media player, but I am not very good at computers and don't want to download the wrong thing.

  • Bought a TV season and only some episodes downloaded where remaining had "download error" on iPad 1

    Bought a TV season and only some episodes downloaded where remaining had "download error" on iPad 1? Tried many times for few days with no use. Tried restarting too. Device has enough memory too!

    Because of the error message, I'm not sure if any of this will work, but I suppose it's worth a shot.
    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the downloads.
    If the TV shows appear at all in the videos app - did you try tapping and holding down on the icons to see if the X to delete pops up? Is there any evidence of the stalled downloads on the iPad in the videos app? If you could delte them, you might be able to resume the downloads.
    If you live in the U.S., Canada, The UK or Australia, TV shows can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID.

  • Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution i have already purchased it can i download a torrent and authorize it

    Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution I have already purchased it can I download a torrent and authorize it. Somebody pl. Help

    Exactly. Some of us don't understand the situation in India. This is a country with sickest internet speeds. The internet segment is dominated by fraudulant companies. There is no consistency that is why most of the data transfer here is through Pen drives and torrent websites. We have never seen a good downlooad speed here. And on the top of inconsistency lies the Mac book Air without a built in RJ45 port.
    If i have to do it in an internet cafe it will cost me more time and money than to purchase a Mac book air itself. Apple should start giving us software loaded flash drives at least at premium.

  • I downloaded the latest version of adobe flash player 2 versions loaded and now it's very slow and the wheel keeps spinning

    My computer is running very slow, and the colored wheel keeps spinning causing pages to load slowly. I recently downloaded adobe flash player. It seems 2 versions loaded. Could this be causing the problem? How can I uninstall these programs? Thank you

    Adobe Flash Player
    Check Flash Version
    Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:

    Follow the instructions closely, such as quitting ALL applications first before installing.  Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.
