Andrew, sorry for the late response, I had to leave for a business trip last night after work and didn't have a chance to change it. Luckily the hotel has wireless so I edited my php.ini tonight and ran some tests.

As far as I can tell, my download speeds using the download manager are at around 100-120KBps. This is a significant improvement . It's hard to tell here from this hotel with their mediocre connection, and I'm not sure how well a computer downloads when you're watching it on RDC and its uploading a fair bit - so I'm not sure exactly where I'm at with it. Anyhow, the links again are:

If anyone would care to help me here, I would much appreciate any advice you have. I am a poor coder, but I am have books and google and am willing to dedicate time and trial and error.

Thank you everyone,

Matt

Matt, it looks as if things are better, but I think they are still not great. Via the script, your video now comes to me at about 53 kB/sec, which is about a two-fold improvement.

I have one suggestion to try in the LDM code. Edit local_links_include.php - look for the line which reads

$READ_BUFFER_SIZE   = 2048;

and try increasing the size, e.g. to 204800 (i.e. a much bigger buffer]. This doesn't make a significant difference on our Linux server but it is worth seeing whether Windows cares.
