I only recently upgraded my internet from a 32K to a 100K connection. Despite the upgrade I did not get downloadrates better than 32 MBps via http, which was weird because downloading via ftp using an ftp client gave me a full 100 MBps. I then discovered that, once I turned the avast! Web Shield completely off, my hhtp speeds were rising to 100 MBps as they should. I assume the Web Shield can't handle these speeds, so right now that is the bottleneck in my setup. I really like avast! and would like to keep on using it, but with flaws like that I'm better off with something else.
What I'm wondering is, is that really avast! being too slow, or are there any settings or tweaks I might have missed?
