That depends on your internet connection speed. For example if you kave a 512kb/s internet connection, your download speen will never pass 512/8 = 60kb/s. That is 216mb per hour. You may have seen a lot of softwares online that offer "bust up your download speed by 10". they are all scam.

You can use download accelerator. This is just a software that makes you use all your brandwidth when you download.

Hope I was helpful.

How do you speed up time on Pokemon Emerald?

Give your master ball to Bob, trade a Minun to Pokemon Leaf Green (not Fire Red), rest at home three times, and time will automatically speed up. lol That guy (girl?) is funny. There is no way as far as I know to speed up time, legitly anyway. Search for some cheats if you really want to but otherwise. Oh, you could download the VBA and a ROM of the game, then while your playing hold the space bar. That should speed up the game quite a lot.


Your download speed is 4904 kbs yet you only download things at like 50kbs to 150kbs. How do you fix this?

First 4904 is kilo bites per second And the 50 kilobyte is a different thing Your maximum download speed would be roughly 10 times less Also the download speed depends on the place where you download from (If theirs max upload is 50kb/s, you cant download 100kb/s)

How do you speed up movie download?

Download speed is determined by the speed of your internet connection and the speed of the connection to the server you are downloading from. One thing you can do to help this along is to download your movie during times when internet traffic is low. 8 PM to 10 PM is typically the busiest time on the internet so try early morning instead.

How long do the modern warfare 2 maps take too download?

The time to download depends on your connection and how busy the server is. When the Map Packs are first released the servers can be very overwhelmed and download times can be very slow. On my PS3 I sometimes check my connection speed before I begin a download because your speed can also change because of heavy use with your owe internet service provider

I have a 512kbs connection. I can only download at 56kbs even with a download manager. My idea was to use it for online game hosting but everyone drops and says its horrible. Is this good?

No, it's really not good. A 512kbs connection is really not the kind of connection you wanna host an online game server with. It is barely the kind of connection you want to access the Internet with.. First of all, there's two sides to an Internet connection: Download speed (in this case 512kbs) and upload speed. The download speed is the one that dictates the speed at which you download information from other people (web-browsing, playing games, downloading torrents etc.), and it doesn't matter how fast your download speed is when you want to host games. Upload speed governs the speed at which you share information with people (seeding torrents, hosting a game/server etc.). The more powerful your upload speed is, the better it is for people to play on your server. In 99% of all cases, the download speed of an Internet connection is a lot higher than the upload speed (normally around 5 to 8 times more), meaning that your upload speed will be incredibly weak if your download speed is 512kbs. Unless you're paying to have as powerful an upload as download, your upload will be less than 512kbs. Normally people who set up game servers have an upload speed of 5 megabits (over 5000 kilobits) or more. You should note that when we're talking about Internet connections, the speed is measured in bits, not bytes. One byte = 8 bits, meaning that since your connection is 512kbs (kilobits per second), your maximum download speed is around 64 kilobytes per second. This link solidifies my statement: http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=512&input_units=kilobits&notation=legacy. Seeing as how cheap Internet connections are these days, I recommend that you get a more powerful one, because with the way web design is going, web pages will take longer and longer to load up, due to loads of Flash content and huge piles of data. I would also advise you to go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and check to see exactly how fast your Internet connection is.
