    Speed Issue


    HP DL145
    2.32ghz x2
    2gb RAM
    Win7 x64


    I am having a strange issue. My wired download speed is .80/mbps while my upload is 8.5/mbps. The connection is FIOS 35/35 and I am having zero issues with any other cpu on the network wired or wireless.

    This is a new machine with a fresh install on it. The only 'third party' app is Chrome.

    Network setup is follows:
    Verizon FIOS ont box > Cisco E1000 Router > Linksys 24port 10/100 switch

    This box is plugged into the switch at the end of the chain. I have swapped cables and have tested different machines. Everything else is working fine but not this machine.

    Any tips?

    Is that the speed that you are seeing when you download a file or is it through a speed test?

    Also, if that is the speed while downloading a file but your speed test is fine; Does the download start high then drop down?

    It's a speedtest result from speedtest.net or speakeasy.net/speedtest. It's so odd.

    Hmm.. That is an odd one. I had an odd issue with downloads in the past, though my issue was actually with downloading and the speed tests actually work fine. My issue was caused by the autotuning feature in Windows 7 which can cause various weird issues with Internet connectivity so it could also be related to your case. I would try disabling it and seeing if that works. It's quite simple and it's worth a try. To do so, check out the autotuning tutorial on the Vista forum site here.

    Were you able to try my suggestion? If so, did it work? Please let everyone know whether or not the issue has been fixed. If it has been fixed then it will help others that find this in the future. If it hasn't been fixed then I will know, along with others on the forum, and perhaps we can post more suggestions to try and hopefully resolve your issue.

    The auto-tuning did not help. It is throttling for some reason. The issue is still prevalent and I will be wiping and reinstalling to see what happens.
