I am a video editor and "monster like" 15k RPM SCSI towers are very usual to us. Everyone has http://www.oo-software.com/en/products/oodefrag/pro/ or http://www.diskeeper.com/de…

Install any new applications? What did you do before it started happening? (I won't be able to help you but this info may be useful to those who can)

It would be nice if you could post the contents of the crash log. Besides that, did you try the standard troubleshooting procedures like trashing the preferences, moving all files…

Having files on desktop is a vulnerability?

This has happened to me twice as well since upgrading to 10.4.5. For me, the Finder begins to crash once every second or so. It's impossible to do anything without a hard reset. M…

Hmm. This happened to me once upon a time (running 10.3.0). Apple had me do an archive & install. I don't know what the problem was but that fixed it.

Post the crash log. It might help...

I'm almost 100% certain that it's caused by a corrupted font. Try logging in as a different user - if that works OK then it's a font that's in /Users/yourusername/Library/Fonts, o…

Incidentally, someone posted a tip at MacOSXhints.com which was about the exact same issue (not the OP was it?). Basically it turned out to be a problem file on the desktop but the…

Thanks for the link, JKT. Lately I've been using the desktop more for saving text clippings, so those could be the culprit. Clearly, it's still a serious OS X issue though, and I'v…

good post i await any responses because i to am looking into a Linksys

I just have a regular WRT54G v4 flashed with DD-WRT. I can use it with speeds of around 3 MB/s anywhere in my house.

Tomchu said "3MB/s" which I take to be "three megabytes per second," while the 802.11g standard gives us a theoretical max of 54 "megaBITS per second." That is a theoretical max (…

I actually get up to about 4 MB/s when in the same room as the router, or in the next one.

You will have to provide a lot more information. What Mac are you using, and what OS version? What sorts of files are you trying to download, and from where? And more informatio…

I have a Powerbook G4 Processor 1.33Ghz Memory 768MB DDR SDRAM MacOS X ver. 10.4.5 Before the blockage I could do any type of download but now I just can download the files com…

Did you by any chance download and install a demo of a program called "SpeedDownload"? When the demo expires it prevents downloading altogether until you properly uninstall the pro…

I think I downloaded it but I uninstalled properly is there any missing file that I should look for it

Recently I manage to find some missing files of speed and I erased it and everything is normal now thanks you...

The creators of Speed Download should be shot.
