bandwidth problem?

I'm sure you're aware that internet bandwidth has nothing to do with your computer's cpu - unless you're using a very old processor and running oter progams simulataneously but you're not. The SSD should make everything else run quickly as well. If you're in a remote community and your ISP has a narrow pipe and a lot of people are using the net at the same time or downloading movies etc - then it will slow right down. So does this happen at particular times of the day ? Does it happen on all sites?

In Wn 7 - go to the command line window - type in 'command'' - go to the Dos window and then type 'ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' where the xxx etc is the IP address of any particular site. You can look up the IP address of any domain name at http://whatismyipaddress.com/hostname-ip. The ping result will tell you how many milliseconds it took to hear back from the selected site. You could then try a few different sites to see if the problem was related to all sites or just a specific few.

"Something weird, in short, seems to be happening on the Internet -- particularly with pro-Israel websites such as DEBKA and Daniel Pipes."

that could be good or bad. It might mean a lot of traffic at those sites. Which could mean a lot of readers getting facts and opinions that don't appear in the MSM. It could also mean dds attacks erperated and funded by islamists who fear exposure of the truth of their cult. The latter is less likely as a ddos attack cripples the site so you don't reach it at all. That being said - there have been a few pro-freedom sies attacked recently. A popular one, sheikyermami.com was down for nearly a week but there was no reason given why as far as I know.
