This was tested from a 1075 kB file and took 33.344 seconds to complete

My problem is, I have a slow download rate. I was somewhere around 11 to 12kB/s. I power cycled the pc and the modem, spy swept it and all that good stuff and it pushed me up too around 30/32 kB/s.

So is there anyway I can tweak my connection some more, too way more of a faster speed ?

Shane Briley welcome to the forum.

take a look at the two topics tommie posted and what is your advertised speed?

if your advertised is 256/146Kbps then your fine your not going to get any better till you upgrade the connection.

your at the full strength of your connection your actually over by a little bit. the only to go faster is to upgrade to the next plan that your ISP offers

oh ok, well thanks for all the information. I guess if i want faster then 30kB/s or so Ill just upgrade to a different package.

Thanks agian.
