:lol: It seems to load really quickly on my laptop and this one is very slow so I keep on being told by my family. The picture is really great as you see the whole square and the beach/sea, gives a nice view.

It took me 2m 25s to get the entire picture of 0912 and then a further 2m 20s to get the next picture 0914. After 4 minutes I lost interest in waiting for the next one :cry:

It is very slow . . . and I have 2mb broadband! Anyone know why my PC is taking so long to download the webcam?

Just a theory as I am no expert but perhaps it's because it is such a high resolution picture. It took my machine around a minute to load this morning and we have 6 mb speed. Can't understand why you are being told you must be a member though. It only comes up with that on mine if I try and access the menu.

Speed very slow here as well today. This seems to have happened since Saturday when I first tried it and it was pretty quick (about 20 secs). Perhaps if someone could pop in to Matabixo and compliment them on the web cam but mention it takes 2 mins or so to load up and update.

I find it very slow to load on 2mb, but I just leave it to load in its own time, open another tab and load something else while I'm waiting. It's such a good picture, it's worth waiting for.

The time seems to be a little slow - by approx 7 minutes; but it refreshes at great speed.

I use Opera as my default browser and if you zoom to 150% in the tabbed window you get a fantastic, full screen picture 8)
