Windows 7 might be a new system, but for many people, it has incredibly slow download speeds. this is a big problem which even the most advanced computers cannot avoid and is actually very easy to fix if you know how. Here's a quick guide on how to fix this problem for good

The first thing you need to do to speed up your downloads is to make sure that your Internet connection is fast enough. To do this, you need to perform a Speed Test which can be done by clicking on Google and then typing Broadband Speed Test. The first result here will then bring up a website which will attempt to 'test' your download speed of your Internet connection. this will show you how fast your Internet speed actually is, and if it's slower than you'd expect, then you should contact your Internet service provider.

If your speed seems to be okay, then the next step is to make sure your computer is optimized enough to deal with downloads. you should stop any program running that might need to use the Internet (such as Instant Messengers and Email applications) and you should also make sure that you don't have any viruses on your system as well. To do this, press CTRL + ALT + DEL and then go through any of the programs that might be using the Internet. To clean the viruses, you should download a virus scanner and let it scan your system. this works to optimize your PC and make it better able to deal with downloads.

If this does not solve your download speed issues, then the problem could be caused by a part of Windows called the registry. this is a database which stores information and settings for your computer, allowing it to remember such information as your latest emails, desktop icons and even your login passwords. The registry also stores information for your computer when it downloads files and videos from the Internet. each time you download something online, it needs to read these settings from the registry, and the big problem is that many of these files become damaged and corrupted, which prevents your system from being able to read the information it needs quickly, which slows it down.

This problem might sound acute but is actually very common. To fix it, you should use a registry cleaner to scan through this central database and remove any of the damaged or corrupted settings that could be causing your downloads to run slow. this could be quite beneficial to your system as many PC's have 1,000's of damaged files which make it run slow.
