speed?

The download accelerators only work for web pages - sometimes. They do NOT
work for the general downloading of files. As in all things, you don't get
something (increased net speed) for nothing. If you want faster downloads,
talk to your ISP and see what they have to offer. Switch your ISP to one
that offers a faster speed. You get what you pay for.
