RedSox Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Anyone with a real mac want to step in? I've tried them all, Safari, Camino, Firefox and my speed is 1MB per second and every page is slow and streaming (e.g a live baseball game) is a night mare. Maybe a setting in Little Snitch is set wrong? Thoughts?

hecker Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have a mac and a hac and they both fly with pretty much any browser I use (haven't tried the MS garbage of course). hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51288-is-it-me-of-does-online-experience-lack-with-hack-or-is-it-mac/#findComment-367039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Which kind of results do you get when you are in another OS?

Ictinike Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I find my Mac (On a $12 a month Cable connection) the same speed, if not faster, then my schools PCs (On a 100 MBps line, I can normally measure my downloads at about 2 megs a second) Just browsing that is, not downloading or streaming. But that's not because of it being a MAC Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51288-is-it-me-of-does-online-experience-lack-with-hack-or-is-it-mac/#findComment-367245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're the first to ever have this kind of problem.

Maybe a setting in Little Snitch is set wrong? Thoughts? I think perhaps the browsers on Mac aren't quite as good (Opera & Firefox on PC vs Mac, for example), but the Mac itself is no worse at internet. Perhaps you have a bad ISP (our old one, Tiscali, was ) I have to say though, 1mbit isn't quite fast enough for decent video streaming Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51288-is-it-me-of-does-online-experience-lack-with-hack-or-is-it-mac/#findComment-367414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhsh8r Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 It's not OSx86 that is causing you to have slow speeds. It has to be your connection, or the browser. I think you're the first to ever have this kind of problem. yea, or possibly a worse driver for his internet card, or possibly plecibo, then again, xp vs vista BETA the vista was ALOT slower for internet, so it is possible. i just hope maybe its a misconfigured setting or somesuch thing that is easially fixed so you can enjoy osx86 more just poke through settings and check everythings sound, and that should awnser your question Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51288-is-it-me-of-does-online-experience-lack-with-hack-or-is-it-mac/#findComment-367442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think perhaps the browsers on Mac aren't quite as good (Opera & Firefox on PC vs Mac, for example) How do you come to that conclusion since they are using the same code base for rendering?

RedSox Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Tried doing what retro did, and its faster, so maybe its a onboard LAN thing which I never looked into (LAN D945 mobo). So it has to be a bad driver?

yoda75 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've been using Azureus on my Hack and I've noticed that it tends to slow my whole Lan down when I have a lot of streams going. I've also had similar experiences from time to time with other P2P clients on both platforms. I wonder if you have a P2P client that's killing your connection speed.

Asmodai Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Make sure your upstream isn't being saturated by a process that isn't running when you're using Windows, as that will detrimentally affect your download speed. For the record, I notice no difference in page loading speed between the two (and on this machine, OS X is clearly snappier than XP). That said I've not tried any long downloads and compared the speeds between the two, and both systems are mediated by an OS X gateway, so who knows?
