you should try registering to a broadband connection and you should buy mozilla firefox so in that way, you can download as many as you can without interupting one of your other downloads. \n\nIf that doesn't work, you should try to add your RAM on your PC to make your PC faster.

you need to clean out your hard drive. first delete all the files you don't need. then defrag etc... in system tools. you'll see it will work much faster. Also go through add or remove programs and delete all the unwanted programs you downloaded to your computer that are taking up a ton of space. g'luck!

Use Mozilla Firefox.  It has a good download manager builtin.  It's much faster and safer than Internet Explorer.

it's depend if you're downloading from the web is not you CPU is you internet connection and if it is for a camara or flash memory or whatever is not your CPU either is the USB port, the device or the cable itself, 'cause every port has and specefic speed and can't traspast and if you have a CPU at 3.8 ghz doesn't matter at all.

Use the screensavers that Microsoft gave you. Adding more only slows down your computer.  You should try to do without the gizmos and gadgets.  Keep your computer running as fast as possible, for faster downloads and better performance.

In WMP,  at top tabs - go to   tools/options/performance/  see if it helps to make adjustments to the "video acceleration" slider, \n\n  or if that doesn't help try\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/mediaadvice/0064.mspx\n\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx

I doubt that. Try checking your computer memory. If you have too many things stored on your pc it could slow your computer speed. Delete the items you don't need or store less relevant files to a cd. You could also try compressing folders to save space. If there are programs on your laptop that you don't need, uninstall them. This should help a lot since programs are usually very large in size. If you have files in your Temporary Internet Folder, this could also be removed. If you follow one or more of these tips your computer should speed up shortly after.\n\nHope I was able to help :)\n\nPs: If you're having problems doing any of these tasks, send me a message and I'll try to help you out.

Get used to that. I used Limewire a while ago, and it slowed everything on my computer down.

99% of it doesn't work and will make your computer go slower.\n\nIf you want to speed it up remove the things that load on start-up, de-frag your drive, remove un-needed files, and un-install anything you don't use.

My advice would be:\n1.Perform disk cleanup\n2.Defragment hard disk drive\n3.Perform the chkdsk from stage 1 to 5\n4.Do a virus scan\n5.Check the virtual memory. Change to minimum 2095 and \nmaximum 4095 this will increase the speed of your computer.

for Media go to www.microsoft.com and for other useful software go to www.download.com

One way could be to perform a disk and hard drive defragment. This should be a standard action carried out by all users about once a month. It can be found under application and system tasks, in the start menu.\n\nIt basically clears a "route" to your hard drive and processor so that data is found and in your case transferred quicker.
