Google Chrome

[link to this post]

I have been having some speed issues with my VM50mb service since it was installed..

But after trouble shooting with VM for over a week i have found that its Google Chrome thats to blame.

Any speedtest or download will max out at 20 - 25mb with google chrome but when using IE speedtest go up to 50mb and downloads will max out at 5.5 - 6mb

Has anyone elce got this slow down in speed when using google chrome

Not here. Laptop connected using wifi. Router sync at 13Mb/s. HD Showcase samples downloading at 1.3MB/s.

Here is something odd

I installed IIS 7 on my laptop and then downloaded a 1Gb file using GC and it downloaded at the max speed of 10.7Mb a sec..

So why can GC max out the network from my laptop but cant max out my 50mb broadband when downloading from the internet but IE can?

wtf is going on
