Hello; Thanks for the response. I must admit I need to figure out how
to do that(disk wait mode with firefox).
Aside from that, it seems there are reports of this with the latest
and so forth. As a note
This explains why and when I plugged in an older kernel that had no
problems at all,
was suddenly giving me problems, leading me to believe  that my
service provider(was bandwidth limiting), or a script kiddie
was messing with the line, but this did not seem to be the case; Thankfully.
I'll look into it and let you know.
regards;
