TICKET ARCHIVE -> Movies take forever to download

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro (Mac OSX v 10.4 with Intel processor). Maybe that says it all!
Movies, long or short, take forver to download. I,ve tried resetting all kinds of things on the advice of other more experienced users to no avail.
Also, I would like to know if there are any programs out there for games or greeting cards that will operate on my new computer.
None of my ancillary equipment worked without new drivers and I'm not really pleased with the way they run compared to previous function.
Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks.

Kay,
Downloading sometimes takes forever if the site server is slow or their bandwidth from their ISP is low. If you are trying to download these movies from one site, this could very well be the problem. There is really nothing you can do to your machine to make the speed better. But you can contact the web site (either Contact us or their webmaster) and complain to them.
What is the url of the web site you are downloading from? I can check it out.
As for greeting cards, I use Print Explosion Deluxe.
http://www.novadevelopment.com/produ...m/default.aspx
It works well and comes with a large library of images and options.
As for games, there are so many made just for Mac, I could be here forever listing them. I do suggest you go to
http://www.macupdate.com
In the search box at the right in the side bar(find software), type in games and click on go. You then can scroll through to see what would interest you.
In that list, make special note of the column listing license. Freeware and shareware will give you the full program to check out. Demo usually means it is a commercial product and you will need to watch for the price of the full version as some are on the expensive side.
