Well, glad to know it's not everybody having the same problem, but... I wonder why my bandwidth hits a wall when downloading a file?
Anyway, I'm just running good old Windows 7 64-bit, on a i7 6-core processor (3.4ghz), 32gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 780 video card. The OS is running on an 256gb SSD, but I have about 6tb in storage space on other drives.
I can get faster speeds through the vpn adapter, of course, but 20mb/s seems to be the norm, depending on the time of day. But all it takes is a download of one large file, and boom, no more internet activity for me until it's done. If I try to browse google or something, I just get an error message (that it timed out trying to find the web page, or whatever).
Thanks for your help.
