Re: Make the Office downloads go faster when DSL or cable are used

I don't have a problem with my cable connection downloading slowly from the Microsoft website, so it must be your DSL connection and/or how you have your DSL connection configured. Dumb.

I'm downloading the Office 2003 updates and the Service pack 1 and the 2003 Outlook Junk E-mail filter are downloading at dial-up modem speeds while I have DSL running. It should be a 5 or 10 minute download at most but will take several hours. It made me double check that I'm at a Microsoft website and not some spoofed hacker's website. Dumb.
