I have a giant lag on microsoft sites

**HorseArcher** · January 15, 2007, 01:45 PM

I don't know what's going on, but I am trying to download a few things from the microsoft download center and my download speed is like 1.5kb/sec. Everywhere else I go, I'm getting the regular download speed (200/300 kb/s).

Are they doing something or someone is presently hacking them?
I have a hard time to beleive, that a company like Micro$oft with all that money, they would have such a horrible bandwith...so something is up...

I have a guess though..they might just have switched to windows vista on the servers and it's showing Its true colors..

I wouldn't be surprised.

Everyone is probably busy checking out the Windows Vista page and it's just overloading the server. Poor Microsoft.

What are you trying to download there anyways? Microsoft never have anything good to download. Maybe except the Vista betas.
