How Can I Speed Up My Downloads? They Are Always Taking So Long.

It's your service provider who set up the connection module for you as either limited or unlimited download. Say, for example, BSNL broadband service provides 1GB limited download connection module and also unlimted package. While you are using limited download (say 1GB/month) that means you can download software, games, music, files upto 1GB capacity as a whole in one month. Again the countdown will start in the next month same way. But for unlimited connection, you just dont need to bother about how much you have downloaded. The difference is ofcourse there in payment. Sometimes some ISPs ask at least 3 times more for unlimited one than that of limited. That's all.

The most simple and effective way of speeding up your downloads is to upgrade your broadband to a faster connnection speed. You can either upgrade with your current provider or look for a better broadband package with an alternative provider.

You can download software to optimize your packet settings to increase your current connection.  One that is free is called modemmax at www.modemmax.com

Also it helps if your pc is tidy too. you can do this by deleting old cookies and defragmenting your disk clean up system.

Try Internet Download Manager or DAP both speed up downloads.
