Your new pc regardless how fast it is is only as fast as the slowest part of the total process. In other words your pc may be very fast but if you have a Caterpillar speed connection then that is the speed you pc will react to the servers with. I have cable and for the longest time I was all dialup and when I switched to cable I have never went backwards and have not regretted it either!

Then came Vista and Windows 7 and screwed it all up lol... But sorry again iv'e been trying to help since the beginning of this thread from Katana on Windows 7 and Cod4.

I have no issues. my downloading problem appeared to be the setting in my .cfg file. once I found the sweet spot there, it goes nearly 1mb all the time now.
