Hey everyone,

I used to have dial-up, so I by all means know what true pain is when surfing the Internet. However, I really started growing accustomed to the high-speed Internet we now have had for a couple of months. But for some reason, I've noticed a significant slowdown in the past week or so. I haven't changed anything, my system reads clean on the spy-ware and ad-ware front, so I'm clueless as to whats going on. Any ideas?

Kenjar, yet another victim of NRS (N00b Relapse Syndrome) May he code in peace...

But those things are added together to make the internet.... which surely makes the internet non-perfect

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

SageTech,
Try giving your HDD a defrag, and clean out your temp-internet folder (as well as any un-needed cookies).
