Official Crystal Web ADSL performance feedback thread Part 2...

Well no wonder you're annoyed with the slow speeds, assuming of course you're having to do the million windows updates after a re-install.

I wish you luck as i always rip my hair out when i have to do those even with normal internet speed.

all done, but yep, it's been a mission

How do you see the buffer status on Hulu plus? I'm using a Roku btw.

Click on the cog to change quality settings and it shows you your buffer.

There is no cog on the Roku app. If you click the pause button then the only option is to un-pause, and if you click the star button, the only options are to turn captions on or off. You cannot change the quality or see the buffer. Unless I'm missing something. Anyone with a Roku have any suggestions?

Sorry, didn't see you were using a Roku.

Change it via a web browser in Hulu and it should set it appropriately across all devices.

Samsung Smart TVs have a cool setting when you're watching where you can change the quality in Mbps while watching the stream. Not sure if the Roku has the same - we only have a few PCs, Amazon Fire TV, and Samsung Smart TVs to test on.

Thanks. I have a Samsung smart TV, so I'll try both suggestions. For the record, the Hulu app on the Samsung TV is pathetic compared to the Roku, when it comes to the actual streaming.

In terms of quality or functionality?

I quite like the simplicity of it, and it streams in great quality in our testing now. Will continue optimising this one though.

You can now login to the beta customer portal via our website using the customer login link - if for whatever reason it doesn't accept your email and ADSL password just pop me a PM and I'll activate it for you.

Bitcomet is quite cool for a HTTP download manager. Just can't figure out where to set max number of downloads at a time.

Sounds like crap then.

Well that is about the only thing that can download my media for me. I use video downloadhelper for firefox, copy link url and paste it in there, managers like FDM just says 404 forbidden.
