Can playing large files and/or downloading large files (1gig +) cause
one's computer to get really slow even AFTER the download/ playing of
file?
I have noticed lately that after downloading a large file using reget,
my computer gets real slow...
I would half way expect it to get slow WHILE downloading a large file,
but why would it still be slow AFTER the download is complete?
Not sure, but also playing the large .avi movie file also seems to
cause my computer to get slow even AFTER I've played the file and
closed it...
Is this normal?
I am running XP Service Pack 1, I have 2.4 gigs processor and 1 gig of
RAM.
I have been running this configuration for quite a while and I never
noticed this happening before, but I seldom downloaded files this
large before.
I have a 55 gig hard drive and have over 10gigs of space left, so it
wouldn't be a lack of space causing it, I don't think.
I have run spybot, I have defragged with PerfectDisk, I am not using
Indexing, and I have closed down unnecessary system tray items.
Any suggestions, tips or tricks would be helpful. Is this a common
problem with large .avi files?
