Article Body:
Slow downloads are not only annoying but can also cost you a lot of time and effort. Fortunately,
there's a very simple way to fix this problem which even a beginner can do. Here are the steps you
should take to fix the slow downloads on your computer:
Step 1 - Check Internet Speed - The speed of your Internet connection is essential if you want fast
downloads. Nowadays, a typical broadband connection is considered fast if it's over 1mb/s in
speed. This basically means that the connection has the ability to download files at 100kb/s (the
download speed is 1/10th of your overall connection speed). To test what speed you're getting to
your computer, you should Google "Broadband Speed Test" and then click on the first link. Run
the test on the website and if it's below your expectations, you should contact your Internet
provider.
3. Step 2 - Check Download Server Speed - If your connection is
okay, the problem might lie in the "server" speed" of the download
server. Whenever you download a program off the Internet, you
PC is basically connecting to another PC (called a 'server') and
downloading a series of files from that. If the Internet connection
of the other PC is poor then your downloads are going to be very
slow. This is a problem which cannot be fixed but you can try and
avoid it by using another download server. You'll have to Google
the file name you want and it should show you some different
4. Step 3 - Many computers end up making their
downloads run slow because the settings inside
them are unable to be read quickly or smoothly.
This is a problem which even the most advanced
of Windows systems cannot avoid and is where
your computer will actually save many of its most
important settings in the wrong way, corrupting &
damaging them.
This will make them unable to be read - which
means that when you PC wants to download a
file and it needs to read a series of settings to do
that, it will end up taking a lot longer than normal.
Most slow downloads can be fixed by cleaning
out the 'registry'. The registry is where all the
settings for your PC are kept, and is where
Windows looks for a series of 'download settings'
each time you want to download a file.
5. ● Speedtest.net is a web service that provides free analysis of Internet access parameters,
such as connection data rate. It was founded by Ookla in 2006, and is based in Seattle,
Washington.
● The service measures the bandwidth (speed) and latency of a visitor's Internet connection
against one of many geographically dispersed servers located around the world. Each test
measures the data rate for the download direction, i.e. from the server to the user computer,
and the upload data rate, i.e. from the user's computer to the server.
● The site also offers detailed statistics based on test results. This data has been used by
numerous publications in the analysis of Internet access data rates around the world.
6. ● A browser speed test is a computer benchmark that scores the performance of a
web browser, by measuring the browser's efficiency in completing a predefined list
of tasks. In general the testing software is available online, located on a website,
where different algorithms are loaded and performed in the browser client. Typical
test tasks are rendering and animation, DOM transformations, string operations,
mathematical calculations, sorting algorithms, graphic performance tests and
memory instructions. Browser speed tests have been used during browser wars to
prove superiority of specific web browsers.
7. ● Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband and also known as high-speed
Internet access, are services that provide bit-rates considerably higher than that available using a
56 kbit/s modem.The term broadband was originally a reference to multi-frequency communication,
as opposed to narrowband or baseband.
● Most broadband services provide a continuous "always on" connection; there is no dial-in process
required, and it does not “hog” phone lines.Broadband provides improved access to Internet
services such as:
● Faster world wide web browsing
● Faster downloading of documents, photographs, videos, and other large files
● Telephony, radio, television, and videoconferencing
