look guys, this is totally weird, but my download rate is usually about 50kb/s, however, if i turn off the numbers lock my download rate goes up to 60 - 80kb/s[ot]now i know that this is not possible, but i’m DLing @ 64.7 now[/ot]BTW: can anyone explain this ?[ot]try turning the num lock off & see if your DL rate goes up[/ot]
Edit: Update: 74.8[ot]i’m using Feisty Fawn[/ot]
maybe that’s OS-dependent?
