hey smart people. Do any of you know of a good download I can get (for free) to increase my browsing speed. Yeah, it's dial-up (archaic I know). I normally wouldn't have a problem with waiting all day for a download, but my ISP is the free version of netzero, so I only have ten hours a month (thus the typos if there are any).
Thanks too all.

hum... you can only cram so many bits down your phone-line's cord at a time. Yes, there are Download Accelerators out there, but when I had dialup I didn't find them particularly useful, as many sites will block your access if you try to use a Download Accelerator.
I recommend that you search for a DA on
http://www.download.com.

You can try something like that, but really you may as well just make the move to a decent connection. Dialup just doesn't cut it in today's world.
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

I know, but i'm in the country so it's kinda hard and expensive to do anything like that for now. . . Library is good though, lol.

I live in the country and can get wireless internet for a near dialup price. I only get 128Kb/s at this level, but it sure beats the dialup that I used to have. Maybe you have such a provider in your area?

The problem with that is I'm using netzero's free account, but the moment I get an honest job, I'll be getting something allot faster. But thanks anyway!
