I tried to download adobe flash player but it was really slow (656bytes\s), but i have a torrent going 467kb/s I have tried stoping and closing utorrent and running the download, no luck I have tried resetting the router but still no luck =/ Plus ive tried other download mirrors but still no luck
Help, thanks

Maybe it's just really slow? or maybe the torrent has more hosts than adobe flash player?

But i downloaded the same file on another computer and it downloaded within 30 seconds , and the flash player is coming directly from the server and the torrent is in utorrent, also im using windows vista ultimate if that helps.

And the other computer? And where is this other computer located, nearer the router than yours is?

The computer is connected to the hub, the computer i have d'load problems with is on the wired while the one which d'loads fast is on wireless

how far away is the wired computer to the router though? it could be the fact that it's futher away and so it takes more time to download?

try speedtest.net as well

It doesnt matter how far away the wired is though because its wired, and has the same connection strength how far away it is.

Website doesnt work as it says:
Speedtest.net requires at least version 7 of Flash. Please update your client.

pfft, sods law...

Pfft, well, im not quite sure. Are other things downloaded the usual speed?

Oz Broadband Speed Test doesn't need Flash Player, but it does need javascript.

Also, the speed of a wired connection doesn't decrease as cable lenght increases, but there are maximum cable lengths for ethernet, so it does matter how far away it is.

If the torrents are going at a decent speed, then it's likely nothing to do with the connection.

I'm confused a bit by that, because it works on another computer, but I'm fairly sure Flash was downloading slow as hell for me too (I was installing it on my linux box, the licence agreement in firefox took too long to download so I gave up, it was loading in ~50 character chunks).

Try and find flash player on bittorrent
