This one has me stumped. It began a couple weeks ago. My computer works fine for all intents and purposes. I can boot it up, use all the apps, get email, surf the web, play internet games, use Vent, all without issue. The problem comes when I attempt to download anything or stream video online. The downloads either never start or hang shortly after starting. The same goes for video, the videos will start, but then hang.
I've done some troubleshooting: I immediately figured zonealarm, so I shut it down and the problem persists. Then I thought it was my wireless router, so I unhooked it and put in a direct connection to the internet, still the same problem. I tried virus and spyware hunting, system is clean. I've tried cleaning up my hard drive, tweaking my system and its settings, but nothing has helped.
Any help/insight would be GREATLY appreciated!
