What's the slowest you've ever seen a file download at? For me it was a few bytes per second with the estimated time at several years. Obviously, I cancelled that download :p.

What's the slowest you've ever seen a file download at? For me it was a few bytes per second with the estimated time at several years. Obviously, I cancelled that download :p.

They seem to have got a little better, but that sounds like you were trying to download from Realtek. :sarc: :p
