Thank You, glad to be here.
TheGurkha wrote:Yep, you have to manually remove the temp folder yourself. It's always been that way, for as long as I can remember.
That seems odd for this day and age, is cleanup that difficult to incorporate?
Any best way to jettison the flotsam? Just send it to the bin? ctrl+del?, I have file assassin.

I have verizon DSL at 100Mbps. During a download usually settles out at 90.7KB/sec, never really thought about how that translates.
I did a test run on one of the Sites
http://www.ip-adress.com/speedtest/ that you can compare against what the ISP gives you and came up with:
Download Speed: 744 kbps (93 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 131 kbps (16.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

I'm redoing the download as a test now. 147MB in 29” Better, 'bout what I'm used to.

AVG 8.5.364 was running, during download , but not scanning.
My age maybe showing, but before any install I always close anything that's running even in the tray whether it needs it or not. This time though I didn't defrag, I use Jkdefrag.

59.9GB free out of 80.6GB, last defrag 060309...MM DD YY
Thanks for the replies, It seems that everything is as normal as I'm used to now. OOo 3.1.0 is running better than the 3.0.
Just found out VZ wants to ditch DSL and concentrate on fe-fi-fo-fom. Fios.
An I'll look into any background processes...There are times I just can't keep the lid shut on lexmark.
