That's really important, yeah .
One good tip would be to use firefox's fasterfox extension. I'm not really sure if it does anything as I haven't tested myself but it's advertised to be good .

But there's not many ways to optimize your connection speed very much short of just paying for it Of course, you could try Tune-Up Utilities 2008, they have something that's supposed to optimize your connection a bit.

That could be because of many things. Make sure you are selecting the closest server to wherever you are located. Also, make sure you have your conversion ratios proper with respect to kilobytes versus kilobits .
1 byte = 8 bits and therefore 1 kilobyte = 8 kilobits. Your connection is probably advertised as kilobits per second and so divide whatever that is by 8 and you'll get how much you should be downloading at .

A quarter of one gigabyte is one megabyte . A quarter of a megabyte is one kilobyte. 250 gb is .0625 of a gigabyte .

I get between 200kb/s and 600kb/s on my premium cable connection, depending on where I'm downloading, on HTTP.
With torrents I've gotten it up to 900kb/s
The place you're downloading from and your location relevant to that is always important.

I installed that fasterfox extension and it made my connection go faster. Thanks

Yes.. Hydro is very very confused.
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes
1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes

I know this man...I just didn't want to give him too much information at one time .
it is possible to represent 1000 in binary without having to add another carry bit. It's not a power of two .
