Hi, I have the worst connection ever i used to be able to get 5KB/s now i'm lucky to get 3. I was wondering if anyone knew how to sped that up (FREE). Also I Typed in DSL for a search on programs I was wondering if I could download a free DSL program.

You can do some tests here: http://www.broadbandreports.com/tools

Remember that whatever your particular service is supposed to be for speed, there's going to be some loss due to overhead.

Here's some hints that might help: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
