Make sure your computer is running at its most optimal speed. You need to make sure there are no extraneous processes running that start at startup. However, you will always be limited by the speed of your modem. You can always get DSL or Broadband.

There are downloads that supposedly speed up Dial Up downloads, but the benefit is marginal if at all. A dial up connection is faster the closer you are to your ISP. But if you really want speedier downloads you will have to forsake Dial Up altogether. DSL is faster by a whole lot, and cable is even much faster. Of course, fast costs money. If budget is a consideration, then DSL that includes phone, television and Internet may be an option as they come bundled in various price ranges. You can only speed up the horse and buggy so far. Time to switch to a Mustang.

The only solution is to get a faster connection.\n\nIf you have phone line, get DSL or Cable.  If you have DSL or cable, get a faster rate plan.  If you have the fastest rate plan available, go to ISDN or fractional T-1.\n\nOther then increasing your bandwith, nothing will make you go faster.  And all those programs that claim they do are just rip-offs.

preferences > connection > make sure everything is set right. But i just checked mine, I have DSL but it was set on dial-up, but it still works lol. probably the main thing though is about the proxy. Mine was set on No proxy, which is the default setting.

The only setting that has any real effect on your connection speed is your TCP recieve window.  This setting is found in your windows registry and if you are not an advanced user I would not reccomend tampering with this yourself.  There are a number of tweaks available on the net which will edit the registry for you.\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net/#IncreasingWindow\n\nThis is an excellent site dealing with cable and dsl modem tweaking.  Scroll down to where it says, "Increasing TCP Receive Window for Microsoft Windows" There you should find everything you need, but be sure to back up your registry before making any modifications.\n\nTo do this go to START, RUN and type "regedit"  Click on  "registry" in the menu bar and go to export registry file, be sure to select "all" for your export range, give it an easily identifiable name and then click save. That way, if you screw up your registry, all you have to do is right click on the file and then click merge to restore your registry to its previous state.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

If you're using a dial up 56K modem, then you can't.  It's not possible unless you upgrade your service and get a faster modem (most likely external plugged into your USB or ethernet adapter, if you have these).  Some dial-up servers are a bit faster than others, but none will exceed 56K/sec.  Some ISPs may seem to be a bit faster, but this is only because they allow the text to downloaded first, then each image on the current section of the page you're viewing to be downloaded separately rather than everything on the page downloading at the same time.

Make sure you have filters on all your phone lines, including any TV boxes that use the phone. This can cause slowness. You can check with the manual and see if you can access the DSL router to see what DL and UP speeds you are at. If you are below what is promised then check with the company. If you are above where you are supposed to be then either live with what you have or call the company, pay more to upgrade. This is all dependant on how your DSL is setup and it may not be the same way I am familiar with. They also have Internet Speed Check's that you can use to check your speed. That will give you an idea if you are at a good speed for DSL. \n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html

There can be only one way to increase the download speed- get a faster internet connection. It can be cable or DSL or any other depending whats you current connection and whats avaialble in your area.\n\nSoftware like download managers just let you effectively use whatever bandwidth is available to you. They dont increase the bandwith.

No accelerator can speed up a system beyond what your dial-up, DSL or cable can deliver.  If you're at the slow end of your service an accelerator can certainly give you a boost.  But don't expect magic.\n\nOne of the best ways to get a "faster" system is to increase your RAM.  If you can afford it, get the maximum RAM your computer will support.
