[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1228886, member: 181804"] One thing that does slow down network traffic on Macs is the order in which the network devices are listed. Open the Network preference pane. Click the gear at the bottom and select Set Service Order. If Bluetooth and Firewire are above Ethernet and Airport, drag and drop them so BT and FW are at the bottom of the list. Typically, I set mine up with Ethernet, Airport, any 3rd party wifi or cell card, FW, BT. When BT is at the top of the list, all network requests try to resolve via BT first, then after a few seconds, they give up and move to the next option. By moving the fastest options first, you eliminate a lot of that lag. [/QUOTE]
