Your downloads are slow because your modem is slow. The only solution to that is to pay for a high bandwidth service, if available in your area. There is no setting in Xolox that will solve this. My only suggestion is to set it to MAX, that way all the bandwidth that Xolox can use will be used.

On a more picky tecnical point, your modem is not 56k - even though that is the was everyone says it - it is actually 5.6k. It is simply alot easier to say 56k instead of 5.6k. Thus, setting your speed at 20k is almost four times faster than your modem.

PS. Sorry about those loosers in the chat rooms, many of them just act nastily online because no one can tell who they really are.
