Seconds can seam like minutes all right,,
I wouldn't even describe it as slow,, its more like it "hangs" it either loads fast like it should or it hangs for a while then loads as it should. as always its an intermittent problem.
You can say as you guys always have in the past,, it must be my machine, a virus etc. etc., if so explain why it only happens when downloading pages here not all the other forums I/we browse?
