rob1234 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have slow internet (56k) and very often, usually when loading a page with lots of pictures, it will stop loading the pictures and you will only see the top maybe 15% of the picture but internet explorer will act like the whole picture is loaded. Also when loading some large text files it will only load part of the file. I'm pretty sure this is a timeout issue. I think it starts loading a picture and when a certain time passes it gives up and goes to the next one. I've searched everywhere but can't find any solution for this and it is starting to get really annoying. Also, it does the same thing when using netscape 7.2 and mozilla. I have tried creating the ReceiveTimeout DWORD key in the registry but that didn't help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomputeraid Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi Rob,If you hit refresh, does it still act like the entire page has already loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1234 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yeah, pretty much. Sometimes it will load a little bit more of the image or a little more of the txt document (depending on what I'm looking at) but usually it just reloads to the same spot.

rob1234 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 It usually only does it when the page has more than 10-15 large (600x400px) pictures or when I'm trying to look at a large (>500kb) txt document. It also does it more often if I'm surfing while also downloading so the download is taking most of the bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Does the same happen with all browsers, or just internet explorer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob1234 Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 text 65shuttle 33upload speed 47kbpsI'm now using a different computer and it's still doing it. I'm starting to think it's my ISP. I also did a bunch of tweaks for firefox for slow internet that helped a lot. So, it's not such a big problem anymore. Also, if I click view picture in firefox it reloads the picture itself but only to the same spot but if I click reload it usually loads the whole picture then.
