Laptop cannot load large amounts of data.?
My laptop won't download large files (usually above 300 mbs) and won't load videos that isn't provided by Youtube.
Small files download with no problem.
Well, I CAN do those things, but it takes a VERY long time.
The problem is, I have the patience to wait for these things to load but, my internet browser doesnt wait and times out before it even gets the chance to load them.
Example:
Say I download a game that is pretty large. I click the download button and I wait, nothing happens and the page goes to the "No data received page" OR if I'm lucky it will start downloading right before that happens.
Sometimes I get (on google chrome) the "Error: No data received" EMPTY RESPONSE
The exact same happens on other browsers.
You might say, "It could be your internet"
I use a wired connection, since my laptop is sitting on top of my desktop PC.
My desktop PC, when plugged in, can download files immediately (or at least initialize them immediately).
My laptop, I'm pretty certain, has no viruses.
I've tried downloading from different routers with the same result.
Will someone halp meh q.q
Video players do the same thing, they either time out or they work after a long time.
For some reason, youtube loads without a problem.

It would really help if you posted this with your laptop specification - I've got a feeling you either have a very slow CPU or not very much memory at all. Failing that, either your ethernet drivers are out of date on either the PC or the laptop, you have a serious amount of internet history which would be solved by clearing your cache, or maybe you have router problems.
The first thing I would do would be to connect another laptop to the desktop and try again - if the problems go away then you know the issue is with your laptop not your desktop. To be honest there are so many things that could be causing it such as a corrupt registry, corrupt windows installation, missing drivers, slow hardware that it's not going to be easy to solve. I think failing everything I would get a copy of all the drivers needed for your laptop and completely reinstall windows and start fresh - make sure you back up your personal files if you do go this route. Also you might want to consider running chkdsk on your hard drives and defragmenting them.
If it is a hardware issue either upgrade the memory and CPU in your laptop or spoil yourself and buy a new one. Good luck.

It's a typical dell laptop with intel hd 4000 and a core i3
200 gb on the disk (60 gigs left) and 6 gb of ram
it's by far superior than my desktop but that sounds like a probable error, messed up registries maybe
i'll take a look at those
