.\nDownloading speed is  directly affected by \nI and II below:\n \nI.  Internet connection speed\nYou could get DSL or CABLE\n\nII.  Your personal computer amount of RAM available.\n \nTo download faster using the internet connection speed you already have\n... you should\nA. Close all other programs.\nHowever, I do not recommend you close your anti-virus program, unless you are CERTAIN that the download is virus free.\n\nB.  Install more RAM on your computer.\n\nC.  Increase the size of your virtual memory file\n(formerly called paging file) by allocating some of your free hard drive space to this function.\nTo do this: \n\n1.  Start> right click MyComputer >  Properties > in frame Performance > button Settings > \n2.  In Performance Options window > click  tab for Advanced >  in frame for   Virtual memory > button Change > \n3.  frame Paging file size > select CUSTOM size.\n4.  Set Initial size option to about 1000 in WinXP AND Win2000.  \nBefore changing the paging file size note the Registry size frame amount,  \nand subtract the amount you've set aside for Maximum registry size,   from the free  hard Drive space amount.\n5.  You can set your paging file up to the difference.\nIf you have a large hard drive, and need virtual memory for gaming (recommended)\nyou can reduce this amount during downloading, or just close your game,\nso that the virtual memory will automatically direct toward the download function.\n\n\nstw\n.

First, check your upload/download speed here: http://www.telkom.co.za/attheoffice/products/dsl/speed.html\n\nThen, if you use file sharing programs or torrents, make sure that they are configured to make the most of your new high-speed connection.  For example, in LimeWire, there is an setting in options where you set your connection speed.  If you had slower Internet before, it still might be set at 56k or whatever your previous speed was.  \n\nIf your ISP is giving you the speeds they say they are, (which, btw, with a 4Mb/s connection, be happy with downloads around 150 kb/s) and your programs are configured properly, there's no reason you should have such slow downloads.

You can't really "speed up" dialup. or any connection for that matter.\nAs for your browser, try running windows update, or update whichever OS you use.

I believe it would be a lot quicker if you bought the CD of Windows XP SP2 from one of your local computer stores. Yeah, if I were you, I would buy it from the store rather than looking at my screen having to wait for the whole thing to download depending on what speed your modem is.

When you are on the internet looking for downloads, it doesn't matter a damn where you are - the internet is always the same. Try searching Google and SourceForge.\n\nRawlyn.

It depends on our internet connection. If the speed would slow then download will become slow. U can use the following software to download\n\n1. Download Manager\n2. Download Accelerator\n3. Free Download Manager

Limewire is the fastest but has minor viruses to avoid this stop downloading files of 856kb and install a antivirus program. You will the best results of your search on eMule but limewire 100 times faster. If you want to download music you blubster.

Get and use Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ ), that itself will improve your internet speed. Ounce you have the browser get a plugin called Fasterfox(http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/ ) which will also increase your speed.\n\nWhile the size of Firefox is small compared to Internet Explorer, you still may want to download it at a freinds house, or some other place that has high speed internet.

LImewire I found fastest taking into account very few fail. But it needs tweaking when you first sign up. You need to maximise your bandwidth for download in the options window.

Search around the internet a bit; usually BitTorrent is good, although it takes a while to download (limewire's a good bet, too).

Download accelerator(s). They manage your downloads and resume them at a later time if they are interrupted.\n\nMust beware, though. Some download sites do not support this downloading systems... but most do.\n\nEnjoy!
