Slow downloads in windows

Question

Just bought a retina 15" Macbook Pro, installed Windows 8 via Bootcamp, and have been doing Windows updates etc.  My question is--I installed all the drivers that Bootcamp provided but there are two problems:
1.  All my downloads go exceedingly slow--for example 50 kb/s, however my cable internet gets 30 megabits/sec, I am used to downloading at about 3 megabytes per second.  I'm wondering if there is a problem with the driver bootcamp provided for the Network Card/Modem. 
2.  My Display is still listed as "Color LCD" - which leads me to believe there is probably a better display driver.
Any ideas?  (The download speed is more important)
Please help, thanks!

Answer 1

sure, if i understand the question right. this is the only question i really know how to answer. if you have an ipod (which this whole plan hangs on), update it at work. then go home and download one small program: yamipod (google search it.) close itunes at home, attach your ipod, and open yamipod. the program can take the music from your ipod and put it onto your itunes library or your hardrive wheresoever you please. you can also do the flashdrive thing, if you don't have an ipod, but depending on how much music you have, that might take a while. if you know where your music is stored on the computer, just go to that folder. if not, do start, search, and type a song name. once it's found, right click the name and select "open containing folder." then open "my computer" on the desktop or start menu, select the flashdrive, and copy the music files, which should all be in that one location, to the flashdrive.
in terms of the ipod thing, though, you have to download the program, because itunes tries to block sharing of music through ipods.
hope that's helpful
