How can I speed up my internet connection?

[Tyler Durden]

There are no programs that will significantly speed up any downloads, in fact most of them are spyware and will slow your speeds down. You can close and open connection ports to help. Not using bandwidth on other connection while downloading helps. having a good router (if using one) with good MTU settings will help. The wiring in your house and ISP zone will help. But as far as you doing anything i can only reccomend not using any bandwith while downloading, Im assuming your using dial up or DSL which is Phone signal based which means Upload and download are on the same channel and thus effect each other therefore dont upload either, to make it go a bit faster. For best results switch ISP to a higher bandwith broadband such as cable which seperates upload and downloads and offers much better speeds.
