Title: Slow download speed on brand new ThinkPad?
Post by: shaggy_2005 on March 07, 2008, 11:55:10 PM
I just received my brand new Lenovo T61 Series ThinkPad in the mail today. 

2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
160 GB HDD 7200rpm
Running on Vista Home Premium

I was attempting to install AIM messenger on my computer and discovered that the download speed wouldn't go past 20 K/sec.  I have my old Gateway running on XP and my download speed is over 10 times that, connected to the exact same network.

It's not just AIM either.  I went through and went to download other things with the exact same problem.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong, or is that normal?  Everything else seems to be running wonderfully.
It just doesn't seem right because the computer is literally less than a day old.

Thanks!

I think you should download and run this file : filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Download /Install and run this . Go to Start/Run type in msconfig . Open up the Startup Tab and see what's ticked in there. Many of theses can be dissabled except for
Anti Virus Software
ccApp
MSASCui
ctfmon
Untick the rest and reboot. Do Disc Cleanup and defragment disc. I am sure the downloading speed will be normal by then.. See I too was advised these steps before implementing turbomeeting for conferencing as it consume lot of bandwidth during video streamings.

Thanks!

Is it wireless, or hard connection? Router involved?

Download, and install TCP Optimizer: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
Open it, and put a checkmark in Optimal Settings. Click Apply changes button.
Restart computer, and see if it helped.

Please, disregard the above. You don't want to un-tick anything, you're not sure of. This is irresponsible "advice".

Yeah I tried his plan, but it's still the same problem.  My download speed tops out at about 20 K/sec.

It is a wireless connection.  We have a wireless N router and this computer has a wireless N card, but the fast one doesn't. 

Is there some kind of settings I should change or something?  nothing has worked so far.

It's working MUCH better now that I ran the TCP thing!

Thanks!

Do you think I should turn all of the startup applications back on then?  I followed the first guys advice and turned most of them off.

Wireless will always be little bit slower. What speeds are you getting now? Go here: http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp for instance.
As for your startups, turn all of them back on, and...
Download HijackThis:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/hijackthis.html
and post its log.
I'll tell you, which startups you need.

In this case, it's not important, but if you ever post another HJT log, please include its header.

Go Start>Control Panel>Add\Remove, and...
Uninstall any of the following programs associated with Viewpoint:
    * Viewpoint Manager
    * Viewpoint Media Player
    * Viewpoint Toolbar

You need to update your Java:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
#4 - Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 5
Uninstall all previous versions of Java through Add\Remove.

Disable Windows Defender, as it'll interfere with cleaning process:
   * Open Windows Defender
    * Click Tools
    * Click General Settings
    * Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
    * Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection
    * After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
    * Close Windows Defender

Open HJT, and checkmark following entries (no actual programs will be removed; we'll prevent them only from starting with Windows:
- O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TVT Scheduler Proxy] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\Scheduler\scheduler_proxy.exe
(you don't need to check for updates every day; run them manually on occasion)
- O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\Windows\system32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup
- O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig] "C:\Windows\System32\msconfig.exe" /auto
- O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msnmsgr] "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background
- O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe
(neede only, if you're on dial-up
Click "Fix checked".

Restart computer.

Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html, and run CCleaner

I'm still having all of the same problems, and now it's even worse.  My browsers are all running extremely slow and my download speed won't even break 10 k/sec

I ran the CCleaner and the HJT and they didn't help much.

Are there any other possibilities?

The log is clean, so personally, I don't know what is the cause of the slowness.
You may need to reinstall Windows.

Well that's unfortunate.  That's probably the last thing I wanted to do.

I still ran a speed test and it seems like everything is fine, but it still runs horribly slow.

It's unclear. You're complaining about your computer slowness, internet slowness, or download slowness?

That statement sure seems like a contradiction.  See Broni's last post.

Well, what's it supposed to be?  Those speeds are a lot faster than my DSL service.  What does your ISP say your speed should be?
Title: Re: Slow download speed on brand new ThinkPad?
Post by: shaggy_2005 on March 31, 2008, 08:37:04 PM
Well both download and internet speeds are slow now.  I'm not sure if they're related or not.

I downloaded a 6.2 mb application and it took over a half hour, so the download speed is a definite problem.

I think the internet speed is just a problem with my ISP...at least I hope.

Downloading speed depends on many factors, mainly on how busy is server on download page, however 30 minutes for 6MB file is a lot.
Where did you download it from, what file? Does it happen to other downloads, as well?
Title: Re: Slow download speed on brand new ThinkPad?

I've tried different pages just to test, but I just downloaded the poker client for PokerStars.net.

I've also tried with other files and my anti-spyware.

Seems like everything is going slow...regardless of the numbers the speed test shows.

I just downloaded that poker client, and it took on average (2 tries) 8 seconds.
At the beginning of this thread, you said, that after running TCP Optimizer things got better. Maybe, you should try it again?
Also, you have wireless connection, right?
Did you try hard wire?
Title: Re: Slow download speed on brand new ThinkPad?
Post by: shaggy_2005 on April 01, 2008, 04:33:04 PM
I haven't tried a hard wire yet.  My girlfriend's laptop is on the same network and running great, so I just compared it to that.  I ran the TCP cleanup thing again, and things seem to be running well again.

I'm not sure what the deal is really.

Thanks for all of the help though.

We removed couple of things through HJT, and maybe your connection needed some adjustment, using TCP.
Title: Re: Slow download speed on brand new ThinkPad?
Post by: shaggy_2005 on April 01, 2008, 09:22:59 PM
Well I'm pretty sure it's the connection here that is causing the problems.  I was at school awhile ago and it was running perfectly...both browser and download speed.

Once I got back home, it's back to the slow, normal self though.

Weird.

Try hard wire, and see, if it makes a difference.
