    SP1 actually fixed a major issue for me...

    For about 3 months, I have not been able to download large files, or stream flash videos (they would need to be refreshed to continue buffering). This sounds like a huge issue, but it only seemed to affect files over 500MB. Specifically, downloads would get slower and slower, eventually they would slow down to single KB speeds. I tried everything, internet options, caching, LAN drivers, SATA controller drivers, even virtual memory... You'll see I posted about it months ago...

    Anyway, installing SP1 for Windows 7 completely resolved the issue. Just wanted to post so anybody having the same problem could save themselves the trouble.
