slow video....

I'm on my dads computer and he says that downloading video is STILL slow even after getting a faster internet connection.... I know that he has an intel 4 processor and 512mb RAM. Can anyone tell me how he can improve his video download speed?

thx in advance.... :)

If the server is slow, the server is slow. You can't help that. However if you want to increase it, look up a downloader accelerator, it downloads sereral packs at a time and puts it together. I use wget for windows, but that's just me :p

What's your connection anyhow? Dsl, cable, heh T1? :rolleyes:

I'm thinking more along the lines of the AOL version of NetGear's highspeed - a modem and some unique compression. Doesn't work good for downloads though. :p
