I’m having the same problem now and I use to spend at 85-120 kbps and ever since I had that log in problem from Aim (Which now I can log into my sn) I’m sending files at 16kbps. I tried resetting my Cable modem and disabling my firewall but the result is still the same. I went to that site and here are my results…….
Last Result:
Download Speed: 5604 kbps (700.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 140 kbps (17.5 KB/sec transfer rate)Everything was fine on saturday. All sunday long I can’t seem to figure why my transfer speed is slow. Someone please help.:crying:
Here are my specs
Intel pant 4 2.8ghz
HD:160gig
Ram:1gig
OS:Windows XP ProI have Aim version 5.9 on my comp with this connection that I’m using to log into my Aim “login.oscar.aol.com”
Also previously at times when I was sending files at normal speeds I would get an error from aim saying something about not being able to send the transfer and at times I would have to keep restarting the transfers again.
Well I got my username to work. But when sending a file to another user on my list, the transfer rate is extremely slow. I use to spend at avg 85-90 kbps now its at 16kbps or even lower! All of this started happening as soon as my Aim starting acting funny.
I don’t know what have I done wrong, I haven’t browsed into any websites that dangerous to my comp nor have I downloaded anything hazardous. I want my Aim transfer speeds back to normal.
