Look, you’re totally posting in the wrong subforum here...

I'm consistently stuck hovering right around 40kb/s...

Daniel Cruz28 said:Not every file downloads at the same speed—that’s just how it works. It mostly boils down to the number of seeders available; more seeders generally means faster speeds. Here is how I have my settings dialed in: Options > Preferences... > Connection > Maximum upload rate (kB/s 9) > Alternate upload rate when not downloading (kB/s 16) > Maximum download rate (kB/s 100).
On my connection, I get about 1024 kbit/s download and 192 kbit/s upload.
If you want different speeds, you’ll obviously need to tweak the settings accordingly. I’m not claiming these specific numbers are perfect for everyone, but they work just fine for me...

Man, once I applied those settings, things started moving five times faster!

Google Chrome for Newbies
a. Click Tools - page info
b. Click The Media Tab on The Page Info Windows
c. This media tab provides an exhaustive list—complete with previews—of all the Images, CSS Files, and Shockwave Flash object ) under The Internet address that the Google Chrome browser pulled down while it was busy rendering (loading) the page.
d. Just scroll through the list until you spot that specific swf file.
e. Hit the "Save as" button. Pick a spot on your hard drive and save it (honestly, there is zero need for some sketchy third-party plug-in)

Google Chrome for Geeks and Power Users
a. Type about:blank in the Chrome address bar
b. Now click List cache entries or just type about:cache?device=disk (Disk cache device)
c. Use Ctrl+F to hunt down the flash file—try searching for a snippet of the website URL, the filename itself, or even just ".swf". After a bit of trial and error, you should eventually track down the swf file URL.
d. Click the SWF URL to pull up the cache entry Information page. Right-click the link and select "Save link as"

2. How to grab flash files via the Edge browser

a. Click Tools - Internet Options
b. Over in the General Tab, go ahead and click the Settings button found within the Temporary Internet Files section.
c. Click View Files to pop open your Temporary Internet Files folder. Keep in mind that depending on your Edge settings, this Temp. folder might be absolutely overflowing with tens of thousands of files...
d. Click View - Details. Now click View - Arrange Icons By - Internet Address. Depending on whatever webpage you were looking at, there might be one or several Flash files (Shockwave Flash object ) under The Internet address.
e. Once you’ve actually located the correct flash file, right-click it and hit Copy. Then, paste that swf file into a different directory. And please, make sure to
keep the webpage and Edge open—unless you want the cache file to get purged before you're done.

If you're a total newbie, I'd probably recommend these routes instead:
1. Grab a download accelerator like Flashget and set it to automatically snag any shockwave extension (*.swf)
2. Or just find a free Edge plug-in designed specifically for saving flash files.

I really don't feel like translating this right now... maybe later tonight...

Man, I am totally wiped out👍

It’s really no big deal—honestly, I’m just happy if the sticker actually looks good on my laptop

hahahahahahhahahahahah
