You guys posting results on testmy.net - for some reason it won't work on my Firefox. I had to open an IE window to test it. For some reason it always gives a lesser result than speedtest.net.

IE IS A LOT SLOWER THAN FF. I'm guessing addons are causing problems.
I use minimal addons such as ABP,Ghostery,last pass, translate this!,self destructing cookies, 1 click you tube downloader, private tab, FEBE and user agent switcher.

That's it? I have 42 addons including IDM's plugin! More often than not when you have a problem, only 1 is the culprit so the whole thing becomes a guessing game. So as not to bother with it, when I run into a problem I activate another addon that says "open this page in IE", then I close IE when I'm finished.

I might add that on winapp2.com, grabbing winapp2.ini was no problem. I couldn't download trim.bat not even with IE.

I missed another addon DownThemAll!.

I recommend IDM and its browser integration. I know because when I ran different distros of Linux I had to use the DownThemAll addon since there is no IDM for Linux. IDM is better by a mile.

DTA is now familiar for me now. IDM is very good but need to install separately and DTA is addon for FF which works on all platforms.

Yes yes, update from me! I'm still alive(believe it or not)
There is a lot of reasons I havn't been on, the one that probably has been the most is that I've been feeling really down and I've done harm to myself. I have gone to therapists and I've been diagnosed with stuff that just goes on and on. The most important they said is that I had to lower my stress, to stop worrying about others, and I need to stop being active on so many sites and have active contact with too many people at once. The second thing is that school got really hard because I had 2 weeks where I felt like everything was trash and I didn't get any schoolwork done, and I failed to turn in several assignments which I later had to spend all my freetime doing. Honestly, I don't feel much better, I've just managed to come to the point where I can live with it. I also kinda forgot about the forum, but at times I remember it. Because really you're like a 3rd family  ;)
What has happened to me "technical wise" while I was gone?
I've removed my internet subscription and my phone subscription. I'm switching to better price/data plan next month. 100/100Mbit(there was some complications so it may take 3 months extra for some reason) And for my phone 12GB data for 200SEK(roughly 24 usd) from 3GB data costing 44 usd.
I've purchased a new CPU(4690k) + Motherboard (z97-k atx) + RAM (2400Mhz cl11 XMP). Arriving Monday or Tuesday.
I've been running Xubuntu for several months now without big issues. Hopefully will keep using it, depends on how it goes with my new CPU.
I've got an extra phone because I had massive issues with getting coverage (Probably dead modem in the phone)

Fun things that happened: I now run my own Company along with 2 guys. We sell Cups imported from China.
Tomorrow it's 2 months til' my birthday.
I've painted my room, and thrown out a lot of things I dont need. (Much cleaner for you guys who remember the video)
Well I just don't know what to say! I might be back from now or not, we'll see!

Also. I'm going to PM Humbert with my Email I most actively check.

I took a screenshot of your post and I'll be writing you back as soon as I get off here. I'm happy you've persevered in spite of all those problems you told us about. Hang in there and keep fighting, and of course visit our forum as frequently as you can.
