After some research and a few days of testing I started going through what app’s are installed by default on the Dell G7.  Turns out I had two applications called “SmartByte” installed.  Once I uninstalled these two programs and rebooted my computer viola!  I noticed my speeds were back to normal.  

Honestly I’m not even sure why these are installed on the device at all.   

What a complete pile of trash that caused a 2 day head-ache and almost returning this laptop back to BestBuy.

Hopefully this post will help others before they return the device.

You first need the following files installed on your computer assuming your using a Windows based machine.

https://rubyinstaller.org/  –  Ruby Installer for Windows

https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader  – Wayback machine downloader by hartator

Once you have installed those files start command prompt with Ruby:

Inside of the Ruby Command Prompt insert the following code:

 gem install wayback_machine_downloader 

The wayback plugin should now be installed.

Since I wanted to download files no later than 2008 of December and download 40 items at once I used the following code:

 wayback_machine_downloader http://aimthings.com/ --to 200812 --concurrency 40 

Once the download is complete you will be able to find your outputted files by navigating to your user Library on Windows and they will be under the folder “websites“.

The following code will download all Archive.org dates with 20 downloads at a time.

 wayback_machine_downloader http://aimawaymessages.com --concurrency 20
