When using the dynamic ip setup with the dsl connection and router, I get quite the slow internet connection. Meaning 25k on torrents, and it takes neowin several minutes to load..

Normally switching to a static ip helps, but for some reason it is not working this time. I've tried switching the ip address that my computer uses, and it helps for about 10 seconds, then it goes right back to being slow.

Does anyone know of anything that might be causing this slow internet connection?

Here is my ipconfig if that helps..

    • Major Privacy 0.98.3 Beta by Razvan Serea MajorPrivacy is a cutting-edge privacy and security tool for Windows, offering unparalleled control over process behavior, file access, and network communication. It is a continuation of the PrivateWin10 project. By leveraging advanced kernel-level protections, MajorPrivacy creates a secure environment where user data and system integrity are fully safeguarded. Unlike traditional tools, MajorPrivacy introduces innovative protection methods that ensure mounted encrypted volumes are only accessible by authorized applications, making it the first and only encryption solution of its kind. MajorPrivacy – Ultimate Privacy & Security for Windows key features Process Protection – Isolate processes to block interference from unauthorized apps, even with admin privileges. Software Restriction – Block unwanted apps and DLLs to ensure only trusted software runs. Revolutionary Encrypted Volumes Secure Storage – Create encrypted disk images for sensitive data. Exclusive Access – Unlike traditional tools, only authorized apps can access mounted volumes—blocking all unauthorized processes. File & Folder Protection – Lock down sensitive files and prevent unauthorized access or modifications. Advanced Network Firewall – Control which apps can send or receive data online. DNS Monitoring & Filtering – Track domain access and block unwanted sites (Pi-hole compatible filtering coming soon). Tweak Engine – Disable telemetry, cloud integration, and invasive Windows features for better privacy. Why MajorPrivacy? Kernel-Level Security – Protects at the deepest system level. Unmatched Encryption Protection – Keeps mounted volumes safe from all unauthorized access. Full System Control – Block, isolate, or restrict processes as needed. Enhanced Privacy – Stops Windows & apps from collecting unnecessary data. Perfect for privacy-conscious users, IT pros, and anyone who wants total system control. Major Privacy 0.98.3 Beta changelog: This release of MajorPrivacy introduces several important improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations. The resource access rules engine has been enhanced to include the user as an additional parameter, enabling finer-grained access control. CPU usage has been reduced in both the user interface and background service, improving overall performance. The ImBox feature has been updated to avoid modifying container file timestamps when accessing secure encrypted volumes. Firewall rule handling has been improved for Store Apps on Windows 23H2 and later versions, increasing compatibility and reliability. A critical issue has been resolved in ImBox.exe that affects the mounting of older encrypted volumes; users should use a previous build to recover data and then recreate the volumes using this or a later version. Additionally, several interface and functionality bugs have been addressed: translations now load correctly, the Data Editor’s tree view now functions properly across multiple .dat files, and the Execution Monitor displays entries as expected when a time filter is applied. The “Add to Group” menu now correctly lists all available groups, and folder creation is no longer incorrectly permitted under Directory Listing and Read-only actions.

    • Hi there! Great question and yes, the Twenty Twenty-Four theme (TT4) + Gutenberg does have a few quirks when it comes to spacing and columns. To reduce the spacing between the image and the text in a two-column layout, here are a few things to try:  1. Adjust Block Spacing (Direct Method) Click on the Column Block (the outer wrapper that holds both your image and text). In the right sidebar, under "Block" > "Dimensions", look for the "Block spacing" setting (sometimes called “Gap”). Reduce the value (in px, em, or %) to tighten the space between elements inside that column. 2. Use Padding & Margin Controls Click on the Image block, and then the Text block individually. Under “Dimensions”, adjust the Margin of the Image or Text block (especially bottom or top margin) to reduce extra white space. Try setting margins to 0 or a small number like 8px. 3. Use Group Block (Optional) If the spacing controls aren’t behaving: Wrap the image + text inside a Group block. Then apply padding/margin settings to the inner blocks for better control.
    • Looks interesting, I love the art style. How many people are working on the game?
