Don't touch the keyboard or the mouse, whilst the modem lights are
flickering on and off.

Wrap the monitor with silver cooking foil as this will shield it from
sun-spots which have been known to affect performance.

Remove all magnets and speakers from near the computer, as thiese will
simply slow down the data flow.

As a last resort, you could always try sitting on your head, to increase
the blood flow to the brain. What affect this will have on the transfer
speeds, i know not, but you never know!!

Arf...
