I assume you use a regular dial-up connection (via phone lines)? What was
your best download speed before and after this utility? I tried Download
Demon from McAfee for a while. It made a difference of about 2 Kbps, from
about 4.8 Kbps to 6.9 Kbps (once I got a whopping 9.0 at 3:30 AM P.S.T.).
Not worth the annoying banner ads that popped up whenever I downloaded
something. I think cable or ADSL is probably cheap enough now, leaving
little reason not to subscribe. Anyone know if Rogers (Vancouver area) still
offers a reasonable service?

that will speed up you Internet connection by 100%!  It helped me a lot with
my connection!  I now download a lot faster than before, and get lower pings
in games, which eliminates lag!
