Further information.
I checked the Network in the Activity monitor while downloading that Intel ad and it showed 7.9KB/sec. Is that slow? Hope you are all rested after the Easter break. Can anyone tell me where I look to measure my internet or download speed? Is there a monitor built in? I am supposed to have a 512k ADSL and it is SO SLOW since I "upgraded to OSX 10.4.6. The new Intel advert that Glen posted took 40 seconds before the stationary figure appeared and was still stationary after 3 minutes with the bar slowly creeping across. I gave up then. It also takes 70 seconds to download 30 seconds of music from the Apple Store. Lloyd
