Since i got my new laptop, i have had internet problems.
Alas, i have no idea whatsoever where this problem could be coming from,
so all i can do is just list the symptoms.
NOTE- I use my laptop in two places, one has wireless connection, the
other cable connection. Some of the problems exist only on the cable connection.
Symptoms
- I frequently get "The connection was reset" messages. This has happened on a lot of sites (youtube, 7chan, gmail, etc.)
- On youtube
-with the cable connection: Their player gives me a "An error occurred, try again later" message. Sufficed to say,
later is never later enough.
-with wireless connection: It starts loading, starts playing, then it reaches a certain point and just stops.
If i reload, the same problem arises, only this time its a different point. I can watch videos of less then a minute, but not anything else
-In cable connection- it refuses to load
http://questionablecontent.net/ that is to say, all it loads is an "a" in the top left corner
-Any downloads from sites like mediafire or megaupload are terminated prematurely, much like the youtube videos-
if a file is small enough, it manages to download, if not i get no notification of failure, just a file that does not work.
- anything that does get downloaded often has corrupted files, for example pages of a downloaded comic.
-sometimes i DO get an error message, to wit- "Server could not be read"
-some blog-type sites don't load properly- without a background, or everything loading with huge space in between...
-Im not sure its related, but my torrent downloader (BitComet) restarts from time to time, or just crashes.
Please tell me what the fuck is the problem, so i can maybe start fixing it?
