Download And Upload Issues

[tca]

right, i know i've half covered this in a few topics, but im putting all this together in one place

my downloads freeze, most never download properly, its started freezing for everything and its really pissing me off

uploads haven't worked in fuck knows how long

can anyone shed light on this as to why?

[Smash Bros]

have you checked your modem config?? aswell as firewall config??

both can cause problems. just trying to work it out is the cunt....

[tca]

modem is fine, it used to upload and download fine

firewall probably about it, how would i check that out?

[Smash Bros]

what firewall do you have??

is it OS or one you put on there??

[tca]

One we put on

mcAfee

its no different though, its the one we've always had, so why would it suddenly affect it?

[Smash Bros]

try turning off then try downloading.

if that dont work i have no clue. id call up the company and kick their arse for it and demand a refund

i think the ports not allowing you to download or upload at certain stage

there might be trojan or spywere in ur pc..

so try downloading HijackThis and scan ur pc..

and try this these free online virus scanners

You can't always be sure that nothing has gotten through your AV - not as long as you have a PC that's connected to the internet... It's worth checking for spyware/malware - you may be unpleasantly surprised...

Man.. you guys are just lobbing shit out!! Nothing like a lil hand grenade tech support LOL

First questions.. do you have Mcafee Anti-Virus or Mcafee Firewall.. TWO different things here. You also say its 'freezing for everything'. lets get some description on this. Is the computer doing this on anything or is it internet related?

Thank you. :grin:

First - I have both Mcafee Antivirus and Mcafee Firewall.

Secondly - Its only freezing on downloads, the computer is in no way different then before.

What kind of download is it? direct, p2p? Does it happen on all downloads from different places or the same site?

[tca]

Direct downloads, different downloads from different places etc

[Zeus]

Things to try

1. downloading with your firewall off
2. try a download manager, were you can resume.
3. run housecall from trendmicro to see if you have bugs
4. have a tech come out and swap modems


#4 happend to me a few months back, modem went to shit.

[Dymond]

OK and when you say freeze are you saying the whole PC freezes up or that the download just stops and doesn't continue to download? I'm suspecting the firewall also but it could be some other things, such as the settings in the registry.

[Smash Bros]

it is the download the freezes not the whole pc.


and if you look above i did mention both firewall and modem settings :D see not so crash course now aye ;)

Well I'm more worried about the network settings themselves, especially if he had a dial-up before.

Alright lets start with this link: http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp

Its a software that will look at some settings on your network.

In fact try this link.. Its actually all done online:
http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks Look for the Java tweak tool down at the bottom. If the Firewall fubars it then it might tell us where the real problem is too.
