    Try to download with broadband. If you don't have a broadband, go to cyber cafe. You can download it from "http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/".

    This is the return of help.

    I think you are the answer of your own question. If you know the reasons of your problems why are you asking to us? Has anyone in this world, that using 8Kbps broadband? Read your own question again what you have written.

    You are right half of it, and i don't i meant that i am using 8Kbps, and it is downloading files at 8Kbps, and while trying surf on the FF official website, it was WAY too slow, the answer which i do not know till now, that last night after i posted, i was notified that there are problems connection via our country to other countries. :) Thanks for the reply,and lastly if i were to know i wouldn't have asked, if you know tomorrow will be raining at your place, would you ask the weather-man whether it will rain tomorrow? IF you know :)

    Cheers. Welcome to DP.

    Davecheong,

    Its not about FF or IE, it all depends on your ISP and the backbones and routes it takes to reach to the website servers.

    Sometimes some routes are temporarily down and thus the ISP has to go over another route which is longer and thus is slower.

    BTW, you can try clearing your cache on FF and IE - thats what ISP's says when we experience slower browsing.

    Regards
    Talker.

    Sorry man. Your question is like this that anyone will consider the problem is happing due to Internet connection speed. If the problem is from server, that is deferent.

    Anyway, just wait one or two days until the server work faster then try again.
