When I download from the Internet to my laptop, it's as fast as my cable service: 180KB/sec. When I download to my desktop, it's 4.5KB/sec, and stalls frequently. I thought it was a fluke. So when I FTPed from the laptop to my desktop--yes, across my network--it's 4.5K and stall frequently. There's obviously something _seriously_ wrong with my desktop, but what could it be? Both it and my laptop are running 9.0. I tried rebooting, but it made no difference. Help! Miark
