Hello. I have windows xp sp3,and latest firefox, i think 26. And sometimes, not all the time,but most of it,my web browsing is so slow, i mean google search,web pages load,etc. Like minutes before it loads,and when finally does,sometimes i see only text ,in web pages,not images. I have speed,as i can download torrents with 7 Mb/sec. Just web surfing is slow,painfully slow. My question is,if you bear with me, is this a browser problem or a windows one ?? (i dont exclude even the possibility for the nice guys at microProose to inject a thing in windoze to make it slow,so we upgrade,in the light of recent discoveries:) . thanks in advance.

While using uTorrent client sometimes client uses all available connections and bandwidth. So ever Firefox or any else of browsers you can suffer from the slow speed.

Can you please test, while there is no torrent client is working? I hope this helps. Seda.

Hello Seda. Yes, i checked with qbittorrent not running (don't use utorrent). The same.I know what you're saying,but my net speed can take up to 9mb/sec. In any case,it wouldn't stay for 3 minutes to load google search, i think ,it would just need ,i dunno..500 kb of data transfer or something ,to load ,right ? . I think must be from windoze or from browser. The thing is,when i run windows 7 it has no bottleneck in speed,only with xp it happens. thanks
