Well I got my computer back working after a virus attack. I had to ditch Microsoft's (free) virus protection (or lack of) and switch to (free) AVG. Their program loaded and destroyed the nasty little virus. Of course this was after a lot of manual removal of a lot of crap just to be able to run anything.
So today I'm looking at AVG a little closer and find they have another free download similar to Nortons old system tweek I used to have, AVG PC tuneup. Looking through some of the tweeks I run across connection/simultaneous download tweek.
It seems that IE is defaulted to 2 simultaneous downloads. This covers all types of speed connections. But if you have a faster connection you can up that number. It can be set up to 20. I clicked on the optimize button and it set it to 10.
Two blogs that I had trouble downloading quickly were Bilbo's and Andrea's. With my number tweeked to 10, Z..IP, they're here. I just love this secret s*#@ don't you?
I'm sure all browsers have a similar feature. To find out more about what you might be seaching for, go HERE. This explains the option and you can look for it on your browsers help site. Or go to AVG PC trial.

My blog is undoubtedly slower to load because of the massive intellectual weight behind it. Do you know how heavy a full load of manure is?
Mike - hey thanks didn't know there was a free version of the pc tuneup. i do have the paid version of AVG. bilbo's comment is a hoot.
Glad you are back to "normal" now.
B - I clicked on your blog before I came here. It was slow again. You must have really loaded up.
D - My own normal anyway.
