Slow download speed on new computer

David S · 09 Dec 2011

Hello 7forums,
I recently purchased a new computer, and everything is running perfect except the download speed is very slow.
My old computer would average 1Mb d/l speed where as my new one hovers around 50-90kb. My brother is using my old computer on the same network and i got him to d/l the latest wow patch (so we were downloading from the same source) and it still averaged at 1Mb.

However when playing WoW i average anywhere between 30-60ms and my browing speed is perfect.
So to summarize:

My old computer's d/l speed is 1Mb, where as my new on is around 90kb,
After downloading from the same source the result was still the same,
Browsing speed and in-game pings are fine.

Speed test:

Don't mean to bump but, this problem is really annoying

Check in your AV program - maybe disable it for a test.

Just tried and got the same result. (I also disabled my firewall).

What connection type? If cable, I would try changing cables, and possibly even changing ports on the router. Double check the settings of the network controller under device manager properties too.
