Just a comp tech question - my hard disk was WIPED and they re-installed Windows and the updates. That's it - I've been slowly putting everything else back on. Now - I don't know if it is me - but I feel things are slower - 'net wise. Is there anything that might be not set correctly in Windows/Explorer that might reduce download time?? I.e. something they didn't set this time around that they might have the first time. I might be just imagining it though. My connection speed IS normal. Andrew P.S. Which version of Kazaa lite should I download Dan Nolan said the other night that the new version is wacky!?! So this is true - or have they fixed it or what? Which version are people happy with?
