Transfer Rate

[EdBice]

When downloading from Windows XP my transfer rate is very slow. I'm using a
DSL modem with 512 mb of ram.
What or how can I speed this up?
Thank you

Do a Google search on "speed test."

Define "slow".
Normally, a DSL modem restart takes care of it. If not, contact your ISP.

When downloading from Windows XP

"From" Windows XP? I assume that you mean from the internet *to*
Windows XP, but if my assumption is incorrect, please explain exactly
what you are doing.

It's extremely difficult to answer the question without any details.
Please put a number on the speed. How slow is "very slow"?

Also what are you downloading, and does it happen with everything you
download or just some things? If just some things, which things?

A LOT of non-PC related things effect DSL speed. Contact your ISP's
website or Google for a checklist.
