Really low transfer rate lately, anyway to make it faster?

If you have slow transfer on p2p applications like kazaa, eDonkey, torrent (Azureus, uTorrent, BitTorrent), etc. probablly your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has blocked/caped the required ports for those apps. In most of the cases those ports can be changed. If downloading over http (in browser) from a hight traffic site (downloads.microsoft.com for example) works at high speed then that is the case. If, even http transfers don't work than is a problem with your ISP and you should contact them to solve the problem.

Dont be a fool! Aint happenin! Your internet speed is dependant on your provider mainly and there aint nuthin you can do to change it!

Could be modem settings...  Could be quality of the line...  Could be ISP is bogged down...  Maybe try disconnecting and reconnecting?  Distance from CBO could also be a factor.  If you are out in the country, tha can make a differance.  My in-laws live 2 hours from anywhere and 30 minutes from the nearest neighbor and they get MAX 20Kbps on dial-up.  Many factors can degrade your speed.  Most are out of your control unfortunately...

ur connection's speed may be low

Thats all you get! sorry\n\nIf you feel the performance is sluggish for what you pay, call up ISP perhaps the line is down.\n\nor you could try tweaking registry ... i recommend a 15 day trial "tune up utilities 2006" to do the internet optimisation in that.

if your ( or their) line is too slow , burn it onto cd and send via post.otherwiese , broadband should do it in an hour or so.

the further i go from were i live to d-load the slower it gets\nthats normal\nmy i.s.p.  rates the connection at 10mgbt\nthe fastest ive gone is about 300kbs thats pretty quik\n\ncheck you connection at =\nhttp://www.broadbandreports.com/tools\ngo down to speed tests\npick a test server in your area....and go from there\nits just simple java transfer, and mesures up and down

You have a pretty gud rate as it is!!\n\nanyways, you can use an accelerator like DAP i.e. Download Accelerator Plus, which u can download for free from download.com. Note, that this may not accelerate from all sites as some sites restrict multiple connections which these softwares rely on

It shouldn't but it might slow it down substantially. I have limewire pro (because the free version is WAY slow!) but I only put it on when I want to download a specific file and quit it when my transfer is complete.

You cant improve the speed much. You can download any free internet boosting software. Also, try increasing the cache size of your browser. This will help if there are certain sites you visit frequently. The offline content stored in the cache will make the page load faster. nothing much else you can do i guess..

You can't really "speed up" dialup. or any connection for that matter.\nAs for your browser, try running windows update, or update whichever OS you use.

all you can do is a get a faster connection, such as DSL or cablevision-based internet. \n\nBearshare is faster than limewire. But get the one with no adware at www.bearshare/lite ... it's free

The only solution is to get a faster connection.\n\nIf you have phone line, get DSL or Cable.  If you have DSL or cable, get a faster rate plan.  If you have the fastest rate plan available, go to ISDN or fractional T-1.\n\nOther then increasing your bandwith, nothing will make you go faster.  And all those programs that claim they do are just rip-offs.

Get a faster modem (56k) or get cable or dsl.  All pretty cheap.

If you have your network interface duplex/speed set to Auto Detect then you may experience some problems.\n\nIts best to adjust the duplex/speed setting to see what gives you the best results. You'll need to know what speed your network is running at.\n\nIf you get error messages such as "Disk Full" or "Delayed Write Failed" when saving to the network then you should adjust the setting for duplex/speed.\n\nRight click on the local area network icon in "Network Connections".\n\nClick on the Configure button and then the Advanced tab.\n\nYou need to locate the Duplex/Speed setting (it may vary for different network cards).\n\nIf your network is running at 10Mbps, for example, then you should set your card accordingly.\n\nThe reason that slower speeds sometimes improve the transfer rate is because you may have several different devices on your network that work at varying speeds so the network has to compensate more to include all the devices. Slowing the network interface card means more devices can get involved without compensation and without as many network data collisions.

Upgrading your connection speed will definitly help.  I went from a dial up connection to 1.5mb and my downloads are, on the average, about 12 minutes faster.
