I timed abunch of websites to give you an idea of how long it takes, I got a connection speed of 5 Mbps, and a fairly good rig for flash.

This is for the main page of these websites and this is until everything is loaded.

VG Chartz: 19 seconds

Gametrailers: 15 seconds

IGN: 14 seconds

Must be something wrong then... taken about 7-8 seconds for me, and a little longer for IGN... and I only get about 3-4Mbps on the cheapest Dell laptop (though I don't think the specs will have anything to do with how fast flash content loads unless the PC is from the 90s)

I'm going by the loading icon for websites and how long it takes to go away, the website is usable earlier then the times I got, but just to get an accurate time I timed the loading icon.

Also this is in Chrome, the fastest browser I have. Firefox and IE takes much longer.

Edit: and there can't be anything wrong with my computer because I just did a clean install to Windows 7 a week ago, so there would be no viruses or spyware or anything on my computer now that would make the pages take this long.

Yes the same method (firefox 3.6 when it stops loading the page) and I wasn't suggesting anything wrong with your computer, but something wrong with perhaps certain groups of people having trouble with this site (perhaps all in a certain region, but i would think someone would have drawn that correlation if it existed already)
