AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2004 The past couple days my computer and internet(DSL) has been slow as hell. Anybody know any tricks for improving speed, like certain files to delete (I already temp. internet files) or anything like that. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest slacklet Report post Posted May 23, 2004 What do you mean, I've got like 200 files off of Kazaa plus a lot of MMA highlight videos. And are you sharing them constantly? If so, kiss your system resources goodbye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I only share the folders when Kazaa is on, and that's only when I'm downloading something. How do I know if my provider is SBC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I believe you problems with your DSL being slow has everything to do with the SBC strike. SBC is the biggest of the "Baby Bells" and its strike as directly effected your bit torret/porn downloads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
