    I used to have 10kbps on my 56K connection, but that was for just a sec. then it used to drop to 3~2kbps.

    when i first got connected to the internet i would use download accelerators but i quit using them and the speed slowed down alot until i quit using ie and started using mozilla as my web browser and they started speeding up again.dont know why tho.

    it is probley the times i download at because if u download at later times like in between 1am and 5 am downloads tend to run a bit faster. also if you have a lot of icons in your tray at the bottem of the screen it tends to slow everything on your computer down. so make sure u dont have a lot of icons in your tray. or just get a download accelerator if your desprite.download accelerator is a good one. if you need it just contact me some how and i will send it to you

    back when i had 56k i would only average 4-5 kbs (no mater what time it was, night or day). now that i have cable i have been able to d/l files up to 700 kbs (so far), but usually it's anywhere from 40-300 kbs. i hated 56k

    56k @ 18kbps, he probably means 18 kilo bits per second.. I can get about 7kb/s out of my 56k @ times. It has also risen to 17kb/s but that usually happens for ASCII files which can be compressed really well! (Try downloading a walkthrough from emuparadise, would come @ about 12kb/s on 56k)
