Why can't I download 'large' files ?
OK, here's my problem - been like this for two weeks.
I have a WiMax connection (Iberbanda SA of Spain) running at around 1 Mb/s both uplink and downlink, and a ping of 73. Internet text, PPRuNe etc all works fine.
However when I try to download files of more than about 1.5-2megs, the download stops at around this figure. Examples include .jpg files and YouTube, where the little red line stops after about 1/3 of the download depending on file size (obviously).
The situation is the same on my Firewire connected PC (WIN XP) and my WiFi connected Acer Aspire One netbook (Linux/Fedora). Disabling the WIN firewall or AVG doesn't make any difference.
To me, having a good (if slightly slow) broadband connection somehow doesn't fit with being unable to download larger files.
All suggestions as to what's wrong gratefully received and contemplated......PM me if you like.....
