firefox 8mb file down loading at 3kb/s 45 mins........ :-/

either the site is too slow or you have some problems with the driver or the hardware itself.. :-/

File Manager doesn't work in Vista or Windows 7 unfortunately.
To be completely correct, Win XP and 2000 didn't have it as such, but used the NT4 files to run it.

not sure if it is working but here is some solution..

Speed - well you did buy a budget processor :P
Explorer - just type explorer in the search...

Explorer - Windows Key + E or right click start button, explorer.
Net, its all down to your provider, and browser, and how many people are using your LLU. I have an 8mb line into my bedroom, on torrents i can average 1.5mb/s

Chrome is definitely not an upgrade ;D
Like everything by Google, it is full of security risks.
FireFox with a few select Add-Ons is very hard to be beaten on a Windows based machine.

Not if its set up correctly!

Cheers for your help every one. :y

I like Chrome, but it's flaws really turn me off. How does one set it up so it is as secure as FireFox? If it is achievable, then I'll be happy to try it for a fourth time.
