hahahahaha.....
i'm at home right now...
using a 56k modem and connecting at 115.2k(through compression)

p/s:i think the max connection you can get with a 56k modem is 52k ,but maybe i'm wrong coz i bought my 56k modem for quite some time now.

1)your phone line is noisy.to verify this,pick up the phone and hear weather there is any cracking sound.solution:change your phone line
@
2) your isp is congested.change to another one if possible or dial during non-peak hours

Thing is a lot of servers rarely allow transfer rates which are that high, a lot have throttle speeds set to a max of 50KB/sec or somesuch for a download or simply are too busy that the download speed isn't that high.

But then, i guess you just download more than one file at the same time from the server or segmented downloading on the same file.

Damn, now you've got me wanting to upgrade my ADSL connection to a faster one.
