I wiped hard drive, (had 2000 pro no problems), installed demo. Now my file
download speed on cox.net is down to like 70-80 kbs, it was 250-320 kbs
during the XP download. Anyone ever heard of this?

AMD 64 3400
512 MB

Have you contacted your ISP about this issue.

I am affraid, the ISP will likely fall back to saying "we do not support
x64"!

Since this happened as an effect of installing x64, can I suggest that you
had a download manager on the old system and didn't install any on the new
one yet? They do insert a couple of registry tweaks that often speed things
up a bit.

The driver your network card is relying upon may also not have the polish of
a finished product.

Then, when you say 'Demo' - do you mean one of the early Beta versions, or
the late 'Trial'? The early stuff was not totally reliable as I recall!

Check you BIOS and see if it needs updating!

"They do insert a couple of registry tweaks that often speed things up a

Then it does sound like an ISP problem, if the speed boost is as a result of
what the ISP did, its up to them to resolve the matter or for the user to
look for an alternative solution.
