Hi folks,

Wonder if you could offer me some insight here.

Well, I tend to use online storage websites to host things like game trailers and what not to send to people, saves sending over slow MSN but now i've come into an annoying problem.

It's the upload speed.

If I use Internet Explorer 7 , most of the storage sites let me max upload speed ...120KB+ a second. Places like sendspace.com.

But when using Firefox I get about 50KB a second, even on the same websites.

Do you have any ideas what might be the cause? Tried without any addons, using regular settings in Vista.

Try this Event ID 4226 Patcher as well. It fixed my speeds. I'm now pulling over 3MB/s from NVIDIA's site. :D

I set mine to the highest number possible, which makes the connections "unlimited", like they were before SP2.

Already use Fasterfox , the down speed bandwidth is fine, just uploading.

SLippe, I do that right after every format. heh

Gone back to IE7 now and will have to put up with it's sluggishness. lol

What kind of add-ons are you running?
I would try disabling FasterFox and trying again, it creates out of spec connections that a Web Server might not like.

I would also go through and disable any other add-ons you might suspect.

Forget about slow and obsolete Firefox with incompatible buggy extensions and get real browser - Opera.
