Bill Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 With some providers, some deals limit you to a certain amount of downloading per week/month whatever. Is there a limit on your monthly contract or are you on a top rate. check with your Broadband provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stegasaurus Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Run Spybot S&D, and AdAware that should remove all spyware from yout PC. Then download Firefox and say goodbye to IE forever. Firefox is fantastic, its faster, more efficient and easier to use than Internet Explorer and also wont infect your PC with spyware every 6 minutes.
