    Is restarting the proper solution to a slow connection?

    Is restarting the proper solution to a slow connection?

    So with my old router, over time I figured out that I'd have to restart (yank the plug wait five minuets or so) every now and then when DL speed went down, and that would solve the problem. Of course that router was dying. I have a new router now (WRT160N) and for the first time things are...

    Mass Effect 2 on Jan 26

    Besides the scanning I thought the mini-games were annoying. Though I didn't like that I had to scan for resources (or that probes and fuel cost money), they spent that much to bring me back and skimped in my expense account?
