Download Speeds?

Is there any way I can speed up the download times for my laptop?





I'm trying to download something right now and the speed is fluctuating between 5kbps and 11kbps. Is there any way to make it go a lot faster, ie, so the download would be completed in 6 hours (when I get up?)





I'm on wireless internet in my bedroom, and the router is downstairs, I'd say no more that 10ft away from me, although there is 2 walls and my door between us, lmao!!! We don't even have the cable the plug the computer into the modem.





So yeah. Are there any ways that I can increase the speed, and make the download complete faster?

Download Speeds?
The speed of your internet connection is only one factor in download speeds. Another primary factor is the speed at which the server you are downloading from outputs the data your want, which you cannot control. Try downloads from other sites to see if they are a lot faster - if so, the problem is not with your computer or ISP - it is the far end server running slowly.
Reply:Yes, simply get a better connection from your ISP and upgrade your wireless hardware. Wireless repeaters can be used to boost weak signals.
