I am trying to download linux mint iso through optus server but is downloading at about 15 KB/sec,why is this so when my broadband speed is 30 Mbps or so on my xp computer it says 1day 6hrs expected At least on my laptop running linux it is downloading at 60 odd KB/sec, Why is it so. Would it have been the same when my broadband was running at 2.3 Mbps The xp download just failed because the source code could not be read.

Ethernet speed depends on the card: it might be 10, 100 or 1000 Mb/s, which with overhead, should give you about 1, 10 or 100 Mbytes/s of throughput in good conditions. But one of the conditions is the OS, And Windows is a crock, whatever your version. Sometimes it runs a card well, somtimes it doesn't. If you know what to look at and for, you might try investigating the configuration of your XP machine, or if you know someone accessible who can help, give them a call. Whatever happens, persevere woth your d/l of mint then install it and start to enjoy a *real* OS (and some *real* broadband speeds). Good luck. Ned

You are running an unsupported OS. One that has been superceded quite a few times and you wonder at how it works?

It will still be a steaming heap of insecurity just waiting to be part of a botnet (maybe it is already which would explain your performance problems)

I was beginning to think astraweb but eternal is also playing up, Maybe the modem or my republic has a set against me or asio is interfering :). Normal web browsing is ok from all of my machines but usenet is not working properly on any (tried rebooting modem)
