So i'm using a Desktop USB wifi adapter and when i first bought it Early this month (September 1st) it was working great, my speeds normally averaged 1mb/s on steam and regular downloads. Youtube was blistering quick with no stop/pauses to buffer. Since a week and a half ago it suddenly slowed to a crawl. CSS ping is abysmal ranging between 400-900 at all times. Youtube is a pain now to watch and downloads regularly are only 3 kb/s to the highest at 70ish kb/s.

I downloaded a driver for my adapter from the company and it shows alot more data about my connection such as link quality and throughput. My quality is hovering around 88-mid 90's. The router is only 20ish feet away and travels through only one wall and one wall of glass. My signal strength is thus always very good or excellent. I've tried every USB port, poking around every setting, googled my way everywhere over the past week and a half and got no where. I'm started to think my adapter is kicking the can since it's a cheap Tenda adapter.

I doubt that the provider is throttling. It's a more business catered provider called Paetec Communications according to speedtest. Another thing worth noting is that my ping on speedtest (although i know it's not fully accurate) is always stupid high even in my home server city.

Any thoughts? I'm running XP

Welcome to New York.

I love their method of warming the tires 33:00 - 33:30

Whatever floats your canoe

However, the one that's stuck with me most of all is him saving Mika Hakkinen's life in Adelaide 1995 by performing an emergency tracheotomy trackside.

Wow holy hell, didn't even know that! R.I.P

Thanks squiddy for the massive input, will help me for my next video indefinitely

I can't imagine the feelings your going through right now dan. Sorry for your loss

Thanks guys!

Need replays from leagues that feature a dominant XRG/XRT/XRR. I need several of each vehicle. No banger or drifting and i would prefer if the leagues were multi-make so no full field of XRG/XRT/XRR.

Wanted to make a short little video so i can add it as a phone background. It's my first video for almost a year and with my new setup. I don't know if i sped the footage up too much or if it's perfect. The little edits in the beginning i don't like so im going to reupload w/o them. Will start a serious video later this month

Like i said, i need tips and or tricks on speeding up .500 footage and how to do it perfectly everytime because i can't use my preview window in vegas to watch on higher than good quality.

Happy Birthday you dork

As bad as it sounds, it actually sounds pretty awesome.

It'll be interesting to see how the Grand-am guys take on Lemans. No doubt teams like Krohn and experienced drivers like Pruett and others will have no problem, but LeMans is a whole different monster from Daytona.

Looks like world in conflict with a fps camera angle

I guess i can agree on the dismissal of the P1 class cars. It should be...

Rename the P2 cars to P1, slash P1 and the GTC classes, add DP so they are now P2, either take out completely the GT's in Grand Am or add a GT3 class. A even better approach could be bring in the FIA-GT teams for the Triple-Crown races.

So now we have...

P1 = Old P2
P2 = DP
GT-Pro = GT3
GT-Am = Rolex GT

Talent is key imo. I stopped playing lfs for a year awhile back and when i came back during the ironhorse days i all of a sudden started lapping a second or less off wr. Stopped playing again for a couple months and got back into it with the fz2 and i started appearing on the top of airio boards. Now that om back agaon with a whole new wheel. I suck.

In the end it could be either the g series wheels have a higher learning curve than the dfp or i been gone too long.

No idea i want to say 05 or 06 though. For the 912 you'd get praise fron older guys and for the z4 you'd get praise from younger people and better function out of it. Equally expensive to maintain probably. Id go with the z4

Saw a interesting article on Jalopnik where they took 2 similarly priced used cool cars, one vintage and one modern, and put them against each other features and other factors wise. A car is chosen victor once it gets 5 picks more than the other. Once that is accomplished, anyone can chose the next pairing. The first pairing posted will be the next one used so be sure to pay attention...

Rules :

Must be at least $0-1000 within each other
Must be used
Modern car must be from 1998 on up
Keep it interesting. Don't pick a 98 car and put it against the same model 2 years prior.
Must real active advertisements. Auctions count.

1976 Porsche 912e
vs
BMW Z4 Coupe

But i thought DP's were slower than LMGT cars?

Juiced didnt have a cockpit view. Unless they added it on PC only.

I like Boris's more. GTAIV after all is a pretty cinematic game and those dark colors fit it perfectly.
