Although an Express paid-up member my D/L speeds are between 7-10KBsec.
I have tried everything, including Firefox to speed it up to no avail. No other sites have this problem.
I have a fast ADSL connection.

Any suggestions are more than welcom. Undecided

Hi Alan

As you know I have tried everything to help you and even refunded your payment.

You have joined up again but I can only suggest there is something in your system that is preventing access. It could be some kind of security that thinks simviation is a file sharing site -- or firewall ---- so many possibilities.


If you have another PC that may help to identify the problem - but other than clearing cache - ccleaner - another browser - rebooting your PC -- turning off firewall/anti virus for one session to see if that is causing the problem --- I can't help much further at this distance from you.

 

Think Global. It's the world we live in.

You have gone to huge lengths to help me solve this problem which impressed me and I am willing to donate my Express fee regardless of fixing it.

Follow-up.
Regarding my one in ten thousand plus problem with "Simviation.com".

I have now tried downloading on 3 different computers each using a different system and different virus killers and the only constant between all three is the server "iinet".

I have contacted them and will let you know the results.

Be well all and take care......Alan Smiley

Hey Pete

I think you have a issue with your hdd. You reached sometimes your maximum of reads per sec. I had the same problem last year with my site. So i splitted my download server in 3 vservers with 3 dedicated hdds. I think you run freebsd on your server so you can check the reads and writes on our hdd with iosys
