D_block Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I have my pc doing a dual boot of both xp and vista. I installed wm ware workstation on the xp partition and installed linux 7.04 (feisty fawn ) on it . i set to the NAT feature when i was doin it originally, so its networked from my main pc sharing internet etc.so i just decided to download some stuff with it. Now my internet is gprs through my cell phone and in the 2 years that i have been using it me download speed never crosses 19kbps. But im downloadin in linux at over 40 kbps !! **** big improvement ! so i was wondering, could it be that windows is some how limiting how fast my download speed is ?usually when i log in it is at 460 kbps...
